sorry, yeah it was the 54" I was wondering about

Thanks for the article NoHeat - helpful. (I’d thought by posting the date in the title would make the timeline clear to everyone, ah well)

Did not see previously posted. Seems like a serious security breach (of what little I know about these things) https://www.yahoo.com/news/unknown-drone-fleet-breached-us-180319277.html

So do you have an answer yet? (to your title) or a better estimate?

Looked too windy to this balloon-know-nothing

Wow I wonder how much liability insurance coverage the average balloon has. https://www.kob.com/new-mexico/hot-air-balloon-hits-radio-tower-near-balloon-fiesta-park/ https://www.yahoo.com/news/hot-air-balloon-strikes-collapses-215047023.html

calm winds now, land south, all good

I think my agents are going to relax. “Now we have a (ostensibly) tangible excuse to give for the crazy rate increases”

this briefly mentions airframe modifications

This says we’ve lost a handful of hurricane/typhoon hunters, 53 ppl - last one in the 70’s

Dang, @Pinecone what airplane has that kind of boost??

I was surprised to see that one; it sounded similar (to my uninformed mind) to the rudder hardovers 737s had (including loss of two?) maybe 30? years ago in which the hydraulic actuator was to blame in certain temperature conditions.

I am looking for a TCM (CAT) Oil gage rod and cap PN 656616-3 for a TSIO-550-E I have tried all salvage yards and engine shops. I have tried buying new from AirPower (CAT's retailer) (the overhauler did not send the right one)

Try to drop the "eh"s - and learn the new way to pronounce "about", "house", "pecan"!

found it! Thanks, searching underway.

Isn’t there a way to put something out there, maybe a bot, which will notify you when a thing, anything, appears for sale on the internet? So, if I wanted a part #123456, it would continuously scan the internet & email me when it noticed one?

I think we all understand this. We just don't get why this could in any way be considered a violation of this site's (or any site's) rules. It's public info, and helpful - not harmful. It can be used to reduce accidents. No explanation was offered.

I cannot think of a single airplane part where I would be comfortable making such a prediction.

I had a hard time getting a good match even using their top of the line electronic sensor thingy, on same part.

Thanks, that's perfect info. 3/16" minimum. I like the 'wrap around the cluster including behind the firewall method - seems foolproof. Method A), however says it attaches to a bracket under the head of the engine mount-to-firewall bolt....so if the bolt fails, the cable isn't going to help you...
