I got to go to Everett in 1995 with a friend that worked as a lead on the 747 not long before he retired. He took about half a dozen of us, and we packed a lunch. We were in there from about 9am through 4pm. We got to go all over the building and in the aircraft, including the absolute maze of...

January 13, 2024. I was born and raised right here, and never seen or heard of this cold before.....and neither has my friend that has lived here all his life too. I got out for 9 years and went to the B'ham, WA area....and NEVER got warm in the winter! We were about -45 yesterday and -35...

Good point....I wasn't thinking about that. JH

Are my weak old eyes deceiving me, or is the PA-12 left out of that mess? John

I take care of an M4-220C and an M5 that's been converted to an M7. The fit and finish may be a bit "utilitarian" but I really do like them both. Simple and effective, just the way things should be! JH

Right off the bat, it's not a geared engine, so the reliability goes way up in many ways. I wouldn't be at all worried about it, personally. JH

From everything I've gathered, talking to people who have them, Verner and Rotec are at the opposite ends of the dependability spectrum. I've yet to hear anybody complain about the Verner that has one, but I'm not in the loop on much anymore. Quite a few horror stories about the Rotec. That's...

It all depends on how long it's been sitting. An hour or so, we never did pull through. Overnight, we always pull through. The Russian radials were absolute pigs about leak down. The problem is that most of the round engines still running, are well worn, unless they're being worked, and a...

I did a video on it a while back.... you can do as good or not good as you want.... https://youtu.be/DPULa4Eebz0?si=-0EFbKlQ2oGw5TMm

It's all relative, Steve! When I was in NW WA, 30 was awful cold.... I'm noticing that as my hair turns more grey, it seems to bother me more and more too!! It was 0 this morning.... JH

We got about 6" of snow in the last 2 days and it's been right at 20 in the morning. They were predicting single digit lows but I see they raised it up to 15 or so...then we're back to the 40's for the weekend. Gonna be a muddy mess, but we'll take it! John

I think it looks great and have seen some really amazing stuff done with it. I've also seen a cub covered with blue poly tarps....didn't look so great but flew in and had been flying..... but bottom line is what the feds say...and I'm agreeing with them less and less every day, but they still...

I know the last time I spoke with a fed about it, he sent me this..... JH

Surprisingly, there's a lot more cattle thefts than you'd imagine. A very close friend who is a brand inspector for Montana, showed me some statistics a few years ago and I was floored! John

We're all in...but this green grass is pretty phennominal!!! I've got places of 8" of new green grass on my meadows! John

Save your backs and damage to the airplane and just get a sheetrock jack to hold the wings up while you take them loose. Sheetrock jacks don't get tired. JH

If it's covered with synthetic fabric, melt it open with a soldering gun. That was it'll seal the edge and offer a bit more strength. Then build a cover for the hole and attach with PK screws. Paint to match. JH

"Cecobond" is what "Ekobond" used to be called. When we bought the rights and developed the system, all the products had the "Ceco" prefix. "Eco" came about when Stewarts purchased the system. John
