Would be perfect for hunting coyotes at night. Maybe.

Heavy gravity day?

Once upon a time I was out hunting coyotes in the middle of the night with all the night vision crap. I was hunting alone and I have to say hunting alone at night your mind starts to mess with you. ...

Yesterday was an interesting day. Unfortunately I was working. First I heard they closed down the KBIL airspace due to a UFO. Then the picture came out of the balloon taken by a friend of mine. ...

Sorry Hank just gotta say Kali Angeles. Is the city airport still alive. One of the nicest places I have visited. OK I think we should stop diverting this thread and start a new one. How about...

Now, now Mike those are some fighting words right there. After seeing that line of planes I was going to throw out the Boz Angeles word but I showed polite restraint. Can't understand why the...

I am located in Billings a class C deal. I almost always land with a short approach and long landing. Someone once told me the fast movers pretty much own the extended centerline including about 30...

Flew in there once in early September. Had to wait for the frost to melt off the next day. Got back to Billings and it was 100 degrees.

Topped my O320 B2B last fall and plane power only had in stock continental produced cylinders for my lycoming engine. They said it was 12 to 18 month backorder for lycoming produced cylinders. I...

My check list is a simple question to myself after runup Do you want to die today which causes me to check everything for the third time.

Where does one find the long bolts and sleeves for this install. Checked with Niagra and they dont't have them. Airforms who is making the baffle does not as well.

Went up to the airport once to fly down to a pals ranch to shoot prairie dogs. Pulled the plane out of the hangar per my usual routine and then transfer my gun to the plane from my truck. When I...

One time landed to pick up a yote in 2 inches of 38 degree snow. Landing in a cut wheat field the landing was intended to be on a gentle upslope aiding in the breaking. Would only be a short walk...

The owners manual for the o-320 says the carburation of the engine is with either a MA-4SPA or HA-6 carb. Precision Airmotive now has taken over the production of these carbs from Marvel-Schebler. ...

Top overhauled my o-320 b2b with Lycon port and polished cylinders. Initially on engine break in I saw EGT 1500 full rich at max power OAT 40F with CHT that would hit 425 easy at full power. Was a...

Okay so I covered up the nose bowl cut out with duct tape and did a test flight. OAT 22F carb air temp with heat applied 25-38F. So essentially no help. Has got me thinking that my carb air temp...

I am using ECI gauges and yesterday I checked the accuracy as my plane is blanketed and preheated the CHT EGT and carb inlet temps all read the same 135F. Noticed that by accident when I went to see...

Was out flying yesterday which was a perfect day for carb icing. So I thought it would be good to check the carb inlet temps. During cruise it was 17F and with carb heat it was only 32F with OAT of...

It relieves me of the burden of trying to figure out what to do with all my extra cash.

Tried to buy cylinders for my O-320 B2B from Air Power yesterday and they said no Lycoming cylinders available and backorder is 4 months if you can believe that. They had some Continental Premier...

Out hunting yotes one day with a friend in a cub like me and he knocks one down and goes to land to pick it up. I was circling overhead and watched his prop stop about 30 feet AGL. Fortunately...

JP I can relate. My charming daughter went to Smith. I had to instruct her to change her facebook photo as I did not think it would fly. It was a picture of her shooting an AK-47. She would have...

I think I was about 10 at the time of that mishap. My language skills had not fully developed at the time. Seeing a grown boy cry so hysterically must have left quite an impression on that girl as...

When I was a kid I spent a good 6 months building what was called a Nobler, a big contol line kit. The maiden flight was to take place at the ball field. While getting ready to start her up some...

Took a youngster flying once and I cant remember his age but I think it was 9. We were flying in my 170 which generally is very easy to see forward but this kid was definitely not tall enough to see...
