I bought this drill used from a big iron aircraft factory well over 30 years ago, and have used it in and out of aviation equally in the years since. They have them here: https://www.panamericantool.com/nova-system-pneumatic-tools/nova-compact.html There are a couple things that use the threaded...

I was wondering if they were able to get around this yet.

I do recall Shadin being pretty crafty with the information when tied to a GPS, I'm curious about what you will find with the 830.

This reminds me of battling K factors trying to match indications with the factory gauges. I saw this as a challenge and wore out factory service more than once. Several sources of information are vital to a pilot, especially when things get busy. I spent the better part of 20 years...

One of the early altitude preselects, with a fine trim adjust for accuracy! It worked on the old "coffee grinder" technology.

An old relic, minted the same year as me... 59'

These relics were used to explain the how and why of gyros, any guess which one is which?

Finally got this shot, I always called it a "speedometer cable" driving a little rack and pinion set up.

I'm working thru an issue with a client that reminded me of a similar situation and felt compelled to share the determination, and solution, as I was told. An old but younger colleague approached me a while back with a Citation (I think Bravo). Mooney Mike had an aircraft that had less than...

Still looking for an elusive picture, and found this old relic.. Many a night spent curled up reading it with a head full of dreams. A long time ago..

Yep the A-26B "an honest four hundred knot aircraft", this was said by the guy that flew it into Grand Junction. It was fascinating to see the armament wiring bundles I pulled out, and the armor plate. I really wanted to dig into the engines deep down in my heart!

I just saw this one and it reminded me of this old indicator, I don't remember where it came from. I pulled a lot of equipment out of old warbirds, it always amazed me how much real estate they took up!

You should see what they look like when they're pulling full power all the way in, they twist up like a pretzel.

I really like seeing this, eclectic as many may claim. I have been saving this prop, reportedly 15 hours old, for over ten years. The victim of a collapsed nose gear from a Bellanca Viking. I have a big slab of hickory and a run out spinner that will bring the room together. My Wife is...

My Wife will get a kick out of this! Mine was a Benelli 65. Who can remember how those radios, and later indicators, confused the thought process of dialing in a VOR?

I found one! I found one! Reduce, reuse, and recycle...

Finally back in heaven and looking for the finished pic of a panel for another thread, can't find it, gotta wait on my Sweetie to look further. I did find this old relic I should break out once in a while as a response. I spent many a day tearing myself up removing a lot of wire and building a...

Another shot of the project. Use CPC connectors they said, I did. You would not believe the size of the eyes of the IA overseeing me when I made the first cut to make this happen.. The FAA loved it, I was contacted many years later by a technician tasked with maintaining the fleet, He...

look at the logo on the handle, an old form of re purpose . It will need cleaned, but then will end up in the museum. Anybody have a timed out ELT 10 battery?

Now your thinking about it like me. I need X amps of current, set the breaker rating, how small of wire can we select to supply the load with a safety margin. All of this is clearly stated, and lies within 43.13. All the manufacturers allow the "headroom" for the breaker rating above the...
