Getting on a plane in Montana a while back did not require a real ID. I flew to AZ and when trying to board for home I almost did not make the plane because it was required in AZ. You never know when one will be required which could suddenly become very inconvenient.

My plane is a 1950 PA-18. When I replace my rudder am I required to have a rotating beacon or anti-collision light on the rudder.

I have been flying ADS-B in for at least 7 years now. I can't believe how many airplanes are so c;lose and I can't see them.

I think I am burning 8.9gph at 2550rpm cruise. 10.5gph on take off and 6gph at 2150rpm. I am generally flying at 4000 feet.

Topped my 0-320 B2B with Lycon ported and polished cylinders. Went to break in using the -32 carb and CHTs were 425 and EGTs 1425. Went back to the barn quickly. Got to thinking about it and there is significantly more air flowing through the engine now. Called Lycon and they recommended the...

Oh my that picture says a lot. Was that plane flying like that?

I think it took me 3 months to get my shocks. After they build them to your specks they send them to some place in Oregon to get some sort of stamp of approval and then they come to you. Be patient it is worth the wait.

I object to item number 9. I have never been in doubt but often been wrong.

Fuel selector changes can be included in engine upgrade STC's. If you had an engine change check there.

I keep a collection of videos where I tell people how to get in and instruct them to follow directions exactly and then video the results, it is quite funny

Field report here. Just installed them on my cub. They are sweet. Can drop the plane from 3 feet with no bounce and soft landing. Rough grass strips feel like your on blacktop. No rattle in the gear anymore. Definitely worth it.

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. Well, I am seeing a couple lights moving back and forth out there at 1am and I get to thinking I...

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. Then the texts start rolling in that I should stop taking care of patients in the name of national...

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 the "The New Montana ".

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 papers every year publish an article about BZN and how much SLF (self-loading freight) they have...

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 degrees right or left so I try to show up out of that zone. My short approach tends to enter...

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 took the continental produced ones. Plane Power said there where no cylinders available made by...
