153 Vne, no problem hitting that....if it's in kph ;-)

How long have you had those 26" GY's on the airplane, Bob?
Seems like you were talking aout installing them not all that liong ago.
100 hours doesn't seem like much for those on a lightweight plane...

If you think it's tough picking a red paint for your airplane....
a couple years ago, I decided to paint my house red,
so down to the paint store I went.
Wow, there are a lot of reds!
You'd think...

First time I've heard of anything like that.
If there is some sort of documentation for such a requirement,
please post it here.
Thanks.

Type clubs used to be the only game in town for information on our vintage airplanes.
Nowadays I think the internet forums have obsoleted them, or at least superceded them.
I joined the 180/185...

I'm 63 & I remember "the coming ice age" also.
Now the pendulum is swinging the other way.
I like the way "global warming" got spun into "climate change",
that kind of covers all the bases.

There's a Twin Bee parked on the ramp at Arlington WA KAWO.
It was a hangar queen for many years at another nearby airport,
but was ferried over to KAWO last year & worked on there for quite a...

Maybe you can get a patch made up at the local outlaw biker embroidery shop.

As far as i've heard, this is the case.
The 5 year / 500 hour inspections are still required.
Plus, the ICA for the QMI kit only extends the interval for the first re-inspection.

I didn't know there was a JO'C museum in Lewiston, makes sense though.
I hope that Salmon is keeping up with an Elmer Keith museum!
Both led incredibly adventurous lives & wrote fascinating stories...

It's amazing what some twins are capable of ..... esp if you ignore blueline.
A friend of mine used to do takeoffs like that in his 160hp Apache,
but kept his fingers crossed that one side didn't...

I'd like to order two sets of stickers:
one "26" Goodyear" & one "850 Airtrac".
Thank you.

There are six Port-a-Port hangars on my airport.
The value in them isn't so much the hangar itself,
but the fact that it's on the airport with an existing land lease or land rental arrangement....

That's a theory I heard & it seems very logical.
As far as not masks, distancing, etc not reducing covid-- how can we know?
If there had been no lockdowns, masks, & distancing protocols... who...

Maybe call Dash Air at Troutdale.
Darryl Dasher flies a fat-tired Pacer.

Interesting. Dallesport WA is across the Columbia River from the Dalles OR,
and only about 25 miles upriver from Hood River OR.
I wonder if there's a financial reason to operate in Washington vs...

They're based in Hood River.

Original factory weight & balance info for my 1953 C180 indicates 238"--
+22" for the mains & +260" for the tailwheel.
Mine has had 185 gear installed,
it is now 242.7" (by my own measurements)--...

An outfit in Washington, Bushliner, is making some new replacement brackets that apparently have been found cracked during some inspections,
but other than rumor I'm not aware of any other...

SJ, can you elaborate?
This is the first I've heard of the BVT replacement hockeysticks (made in Australia, "PMA pending"), per supilot's post.
which is the first alternative I've heard of to...

I recently heard a rumor that someone is developing another fix for cracked hockey sticks,
apparently to compete with the QMI repair kit.
Anyone else hear anything about this?

I've never spent any time in the frozen north, is this what they call a sled dog?

In some ways having an engine monitor with all that information is like a hypochondriac having a medical book--
it's awful easy to think that something bad is going on when it really isn't.
Yeah, I...

I'm getting mixed signals-- you say can't devote more than 20 hours a week because you run a business.
OK, I get that.....but you also say you want to go away somewhere for a few months to do your...

My 470K is over 200 hours past TBO, with a single point CHT & no EGT.
Works just fine-- far as I know, it's only had one cylinder off in all that time.
I lean on every flight, at all altitudes-- I...
