A mechanic buddy of mine got wrapped up in that with a new customer. Finally told the guy he wasn't dealing with Savy, he could find another mechanic. They wanted to grant him permission to do this...

Bill posted a direct quote from Busch's article. He has some good information but I take offense to his categorization of mechanics and have told him so. He writes for AOPA and EAA but it is really...

I see no reason for extended gear on 29" Airstreaks and a C90. that is 5 plus lbs right there.

I get into mud and such but it tears up my prop. Never found any mud or sand inside my cowl. When I find it on the cowl it is usually bad cause I dinged my prop.

Have you read AC23-27?
