Yesterday's "Fantasy" IFR flight from Bessemer AL back home to Madison MS. KMBO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GMej00GrhE Cumulus cloud bases were 5000 estimated to 8000 feet. My cruise altitude was 6000. One has to admit, the view at 6000 was more photogenic then Interstate 20 and...

I just had a very bad experience with a can of PTI enamel "exclusively" from Aircraft Spruce. There was only enough propellant in the can to cover 1 square foot of surface. There is still a vast majority of the product in the can. This is absolutely horrible quality for the cost of these...

My warrior is fitted with shoulder strap seat belts anchored to the upper side of the plane, just above the second window. From the looks of them they were original equipment. Now - I need to remove the retracting mechanism so I can have new belts attached. After removal of the plastic cover plate...

I have a Narco MK-12D+ that has an intermittent connection in the display assembly. At times the display will go dim---it never goes completely out-----. Pressing lightly anywhere on the front panel returns it to normal brilliance. This pretty well isolates the problem to either the display...

Howdy, I have an Aeromech 8140B20 encoding altimeter with a KT76 transponder. Mode C is intermittent with ATC. Is it more than likely this is an altimeter problem or transponder problem? Sometimes when it is not reporting, i cycle the transponder off then back on and it starts reporting again. That...

My local mechanic says that I need to overhaul my engine. It's got 1200 hours but it's been 27 years since the last overhaul. He's worried about the age, and he hears "piston slap" when he runs the engine. Compression and oil analysis are fine. He is well respected around the local airport. He...

A member of our EAA chapter has a cylinder from a Franklin 150 engine (off the engine.) The piston was pushed too far up and the top ring sprung out so it now overlaps the cylinder sleeve which locks the piston in place. Does anyone have a technique to get the piston out? Preferably while...

Hey all. As some of you may recall, about a year ago I posted a question regarding two different power loss issues I was having with my PA-28-140 with an O-360-A4A 180hp upgraded engine. I'll summarize what's transpired and figure to get some opinions on what I might try next. Basically, I...

Recently a 72 yo went blind in flight (stroke?) and safely landed in the drink in FL. Several comments were that age should be considered in keeping your PPL. I can see this makes sense /but/ it would prolly be illegal. Too old? If so, at what age do you place the cutoff?

Yesterday's instrument approach workout and it was a mental workout! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RChXbsb-gUc ILS approaches over at HKS Hawkins Jackson MS and VOR Alpha back to Madison. True workout which I only made it on top of the overcast for a blissful 30 seconds and the entire flight...

I'm looking for a piece of used fabric. As strange as this may sound, I want to study it. If anyone has a piece from 14"x14" to 16x16 (or there abouts) could you contact me? I'm curious about how this stuff works. Lou

Yesterday's VFR round robin trip to KRNV Cleveland MS, KJAN Jackson MS and KMBO full stops at each airport. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ibUcF5MUrk Severe clear and rock solid glass smooth air. So smooth, one would have thought the DG video'd during the climb was broke.:-) Quite fascinating...
