Thanks very much for the ideas etc.

I recently drained my fuel tank to calibrate a dipstick. I was quite surprised when filling her up again that I only got to 11 Gallons instead of 12. The only reason I can see for this is...

Ha ha thanks, this is exactly what I envision happening. I was also going to just do some garbage bags and dump. Not quite the issue one has with remains. Do you know if the petals were visible from...

A odd one, has anyone ever done a flower petal drop from an aircraft? Any tips? What sort of effect did it have? I would think that a large bag of petals would just make a small smudge?

Thanks very much everyone! A real wealth of gen

Thank you PM sent

Thanks guys. This is a ex-airforce aircraft so certainly had a hard life! Also very difficult to value a old 470 185 as so few of them come up for sale.

A friend has asked me to cast an eye over a O470 powered Cessna 185. It is NTCA and has been recently refurbed. Any advice on the pitfalls of ownership? I am aware of the wing and tail AD anything...

Never seen these before! What size seems to be the most handy?

Thanks guys, just wanting to make sure there isnt some insiders tip with a specific tool etc. I used to have a share in a twin comanche, one of the vital things was a piece of prestick to prevent...

Finally got my J3 in the air after a lengthy paperwork debacle with our South African Civil Aviation Association. I was wondering what tools do you guys recommend one keeps in the...

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the help

Thanks very much!

Finally got her up and running! I flew around the area for a while at full throttle but the temps crept past the 200 degree mark on my oil temp gauge and I got worried so throttled back and cooled...

A few pics from the close out of my local (South African) river fishing season, mid fall beaut weather, great fishing and stunning scenery. Most memorable trip of the season was springing my not...

Hi all, my J3 is almost ready to get back in the skies. I have overhauled my C85 and done the stroker upgrade and was wondering what every one recommends as a engine break in procedure? I have...

A bit of an odd query, but here is the background. My Cub is type certified so has to go through a certified shop in South Africa, I have used some guys at a local airfield and since they started the...
