    Engine Stumbling real bad on go arounds.

    when I get one of these problems I take a step back and take a good look at the front of the airplane for something that may have been over looked. Then i start going thru the engine : no jumping around period. Start with the air intake, look at things like the diverter valve, is it attached...

    O-360 detonation issues

    at this point finger pointing is too late. If I were doing the job I would treat it as a catastrophic failure. That means tear it down to the last nut and bolt. Then inspect and clean everything. Get the book and overhaul the engine. All you need is a chunk of steel stuck in an oil passage to...

    North East Winter Fun 23/24

    How are the snow and ice looking for the fly in at Twitchell Lake on the 18th ? I get back on the 13 and need to put on the ski’s but the neighbors told me there isn’t any snow around Broadalbin. I guess going on wheels would be the easiest. Any WX reports would be appreciated. Thanks Tom

    North East Winter Fun 23/24

    I think I may have contributed to this lack of winter, I bought a plow truck that isn’t rusted apart and have the skis ready to go for the Champ!

    185 vortex generators

    I’ve had a 180 (56)and now a 185f ( 73’). Here’s M2C, both have factory stock wings and I’ve flown wagons with sportsman kits no VG’s. I really like the sportsman kit and would like the wing X combined together but don’t care for the VG’s getting the wing still flying when I want to plant it and...

    EDO 2000 TLC

    I’ve been maintaining a set of Wip 3000 amph.’s for a few years and have been spraying the insides with ACF 50 and have been very happy , haven’t had a bit of corrosion. I spray the pulleys with LPS 2 and let it sit over night before ACF50. This winter I’m sealing some of the seams that have...

    Maule thread

    I’ve been doing all the maintenance and flying a few Maule’s. M-7-235, M-7- 260, wheels and floats. Had a MX-7-160. The MX was a very nice flying aircraft but the big HP’s were really powerhouses. If I can help just message me and I’ll do my best to help out. Ps I think the MX with a 180...

    North East Winter Fun 23/24

    We have finally started to get snow! Anybody getting ready to ski fly yet? I’m planning on making a set of Dollie’s for the Champ and hope for a little more snow. We have about an inch tonight. How are the mountains doing?

    This doesn't look quite right

    You might also check the #’s on the Alt. To see if it’s a auto or airplane unit. The work is questionable so the part may be wrong. Biggest issue today is the Ins. Company adjuster , should you have a mishap they would look at that and if it’s wrong they will CX your claim no matter if your...

    8.50 x 6 vs 8.50 x 10

    I run ABW 10x10’s with airhawk 29’s on my 185 and had GarAero’s with 29’s on my 180. I really like the 29 AirTrac’s on the skyWagons for the stiffer side walls when on beaches and narrow mountain strips.

    Rectangular versus racetrack pattern?

    I’ve given a lot of primary in both tower AP’s and uncontrolled. I always teach the standard pattern and have found a student that learns to fly it consistently progresses faster in several areas. I think most importantly when doing forced landings , on and off airport, the student has ingrained...

    How to store bush wheels

    Hi Guys, anybody have a good way to store bushwheels? I have a couple sets of 29’s to store for next year and wondering how everyone does it. I know to cover them from sun and fluorescent lights. Should they be on rims and if so with air or not. Thanks for any recommendations, Tom
