    FFS. I need a new hobby.

    The guy who flies the thing with an engine in pieces waiting for things to come back from ndt. Apparently that’s beneath a crs. Add it to the list of things that get sent to the fsdo. I didn’t think that shaft had enough wear for a conical point, and I have a hard time believing the tip simply...

    Three brothers with no PPL considering purchasing a plane

    Dad had a partner in his six that bought a 150 for his kids to learn. When he was flying it home after buying it, he was ahead of a thunderstorm but couldn't outrun it so he had to spend the night somewhere. Dad ended up partnering in the 150 when he bought him out of the Six partnership. He...

    Piper Cherokee tire tube

    Michelin tubes are 150.00. Add a bit of markup and a couple hours labor and you realize why i do them myself.

    Really?

    @TCABM beat me to it. Stephen Lynch is great. If you like that, “Grandfather” is also good.

    The self-flagellation of the frugal and mechanically minded(a rant)

    Putting a mancave above my detached garage. Bathroom and full kitchen. Found someone remodeling their kitchen and the slab of granite was the perfect fit for what I had in mind. 600 bucks. They threw in the almost brand new stainless LG dishwasher for free. Here's to hoping it's as good as you say.

    FFS. I need a new hobby.

    I use Autocad LT for the plasma table. Looking to get something for stp or iges files as I'm about to buy a rotary cnc plasma for pipe, tube, angle, and channel. Really hate how Autodesk like everyone went to the saas model. I bought the physical copy years ago and it's done everything I needed...

    Insight Wanted: Survey on Catastrophic Oil Leak Detection

    I am trying to be open minded. There is potentially a market for such a thing. I just don't know what such a thing would be or how it would work. That's where some of my skepticism lied. Predictive failure is the holy grail of anything engineering. When it comes to aircraft engines I'm not sure...

    Insight Wanted: Survey on Catastrophic Oil Leak Detection

    What is this mythical preventative system you propose that would predict when my engine would unswallow over itself? Perhaps knowing what you're proposing, and more than a vague idea would change my opinion. As of right now, it just sounds like a few people with zero real world experience...
