Engine is fuel injected.

Because my A&P told me so, and I trust him. Also, everything electrical was replaced when engine was overhauled 9 months ago.

My personal opinion is there are two acceptable points to enter the pattern: midfield downwind, and straight-in final. Both methods put you where other aircraft expect traffic and know where to look, and you know where to look for them. Clever pattern hacks will work if you have your head on a...

Would a leak in the intake tube from the air filter to the airbox cause this? If so, that is probably the issue. The Decathlon and Citabria have a short section of large diameter tube clamped to the cowl on the backside of the air filter. It slip fits over a flange on the airbox, with no...

But only an issue if someone else is doing an extended downwind pattern entry, which is why it is better to enter on 45 at midfield like the book says. That's the thing about all these clever variations of entries. If everyone flew a standard pattern and entered on 45 midfield downwind, there...

My engine has started skipping sometimes. Does this at or near idle when taxiing after a long flight. By skipping, I mean it audibly sounds like it is missing a cylinder every 5 seconds or so. No evidence of doing so when throttle opened more than a crack. A&P says this is a symptom of an...

Because some idiot has decided a right downwind is ok. That would put you head to head converging. Though to be fair, 2 cubs would just wave as they passed. Another option might be an overhead break. Fly the runway center line and do a 180 at midfield into the downwind. I think you need an...

All of them. What could go wrong?

Williston would be perfect! Quick hop from my home drome. I'll look for NATA at the next event.

360 for spacing in the pattern is idiotic. Violates numerous principles of collision avoidance. Who teaches that stuff?

I'd pay to see a C130 formation demo team.

No change, still that way.

Though a bit misnamed, unless you are a seal. It's fascinating that there has never been a documented Orca attack on a human in the wild. Hopefully they never figure out we are tasty and slow.

But two rights make a wrong ... or something.

Depends. When turning inverted, you roll left and push to turn right.

I'm an acro guy with a Decathlon, so a good crowd for me. Get some tips from Koontz. Will do. Where is the closest clinic? I seem to recall seeing one in Ocala FL once upon a time. On it. My buddy has a C-45 and C-47. He plans to have the C-45 in flying order for Oshkosh next year, so...

He crushed you and you don't even have the guts to admit it.

Marketing is like spreadsheets. Try running a business without it.

Are you under the impression marketing is not "actual work"?
