Photos of Hanna Unintentional Airpatch by
RST Engineering
Here are photos of the place I told you about that is up for grabs.
http://www.theroopouch.com/house_airport.htm
If I had 350K, I'd buy it in a pair of seconds. I wonder if there is any
wisdom in re-doing the place into a timeshare arrangement. That heated
garage would be one hell of a place...

Best tug for a 3000lb SEP? by
Brian Whatcott
Hmmm...Peter the Anonymous received some experienced advice -
nevertheless, he feels entitled to deride folks' efforts on his
behalf. Y'all just didn't READ his note!
There IS a difference between a hydraulic drive garden tractor and a
tractor, which perhaps Peter is not grasping. In turn, I...

Cessna Wing Skins by
Tom Cummings
My Cessna 172 M (1973) is being annualed. The top wing skin panels above the
wing tanks (Standard tanks) have to come off to inspect the area for
corrosion. We got all the screws removed. According to the service manual,
that is all that is supposed to be securing the panel. (Dozens of...

Group Poll: How many hours between mag overhauls? by
Jon Kraus
Our Mooney has a 500 hour recurring AD for inspecting the Impulse
Coupler. While they have it off they will inspect the points and
condensers and replace worn ones. Our left mag was out of time by 5
degrees so they had to remove the magneto anyway.

Mags by
tony roberts
Hi
I'm running in my overhauled engine - 4 hrs - all a full rich.
Today I landed at a nearby airport and when I did the run-up to return
home the left mag gave a 400 rpm drop. I tried it again and got another
400 pm drop.
Third time I tried it I had no left mag at all - drop to cut-off - same

Mandatory 100hr checks - when? Also Dry Lease by
Michael
It's always been believed that if an aircraft (US registered) is
rented out, a 100hr check is required.
People believe all sorts of things that aren't true, including this.
I am now trying to find a reference to this in the FARs.
You will be looking a long time.

Group Poll: How many hours between mag overhauls? by
Doug
Yes. My thinking is this. You have one older mag and one newer. You
also have one from one batch and one from another (or one rebuilt by
one guy and another rebuilt by the other guy). So your odds are less
that they will BOTH fail on the same flight, which is all you really
have to worry about...

Look for a used golf cart, it will have many other uses other than just
a tug.

Thank you for your well-wishes! We certainly hope to get a lot of local

DuPont makes Variprime 615S/625S Self-Etching Primer. It has been

I saw an Ercoupe and some Cessna wings being rebuilt at Wesport Airport

I am considering using Variprime to corrosion proof my...

KI-209 equiv/Alternate by
Michelle P
Now that I have upgraded my HSI I am looking at an full function two
axis auto-pilot. I am favoring the S-Tec line and well I have a problem
with panel space unless I go with their top of the line unit.
Is their an equivalent to the 209 that is say 4 or 5 inches deep?

Earlier than estimated, the carpet set arrived. Also, the screws,
finishing washers, glue, seat webbing, and extra carpet/material arrived
with it. First thing I noticed was THE SMELL! I thought one of the glue
