Submit FCC Form 605 through electronic filing in ULS. I believe that if you are not intending to fly outside the US, then it's no longer required.

On an airframe with that many hours, I'd be deep in the maintenance books researching the service items for life limited, or required overhaul/teardown inspection parts, before I spent the money on buying it.

Good to hear that you are healing up Ted. Hope you are able to get back to 100%. I broke my foot and ankle at work a bunch of years back. Wasn't bad enough to need surgery, but ended up with reduced motion in the joint. Two years later, on the first day I'd taken off in over a year, I stumbled...

Video is out on DG trial and quite interesting.

Check with the crew at Air Corps Aviation. I know they had to search a long time to find anyone that was qualified to make some special rivets they needed for a restoration.

There's probably at least a dozen suppliers..... Metal Supermarkets or Cardinal should have it in stock. May be just as cost effective to order it from AIrparts or Spruce.

Been this way with the FCC for a long time. Have to have a recognized mailing address within the US if you hold any FCC license.

Chris: Even if you aren’t going to put a bathroom in, you should at least stub it out for one. Someday you might want to install one. No having to tear things up to get the plumbing into the slab then.

Only watch DG if I have a need to puke immediately....

Both Nuvite and Flitz work well and will get you to a mirror finish. Understand that it takes time and a lot of work to get there.

Don’t forget that there are degree programs that are not 4 years. There are several technical colleges with 2 year programs that also have flight programs. TSTC down here in Texas is one, there are others around the country, so broaden your search a little.

Wouldn’t use any power tools on this. A few minutes with progressively finer wet/dry paper or emery cloth and it will vanish. Might need a little jewelry rouge at the end to blend it all out.

Anyone have any knowledge about or know someone at Hilltop Lakes, Tx? Looking to maybe buy a couple of lots on the airport and put up a hangar and apartment there. I've been priced out the DFW area for a couple of years now and retirement is getting close enough that we need to start making...

Salty: Yep, you are correct....It's one site that I only have to hit three keys to log in on and hadn't remembered the correct name....:oops:

Salty: Original discussion was on VAF. A poster on HBA started a thread talking about the problem and referenced the discussion on VAF. Several people that are members of both forums have posted on it at HBA. Daleandee brought it over from HBA, as there are several members of this board that...

Salty: There are quite a few people that are on both VAF and HBA, as well as POA....Big things like this often get cross posted between multiple boards. It's why, when I do, I try and reference the originating data in my first post or two on the subject. It helps cut down on the corruption of...

Depending on the kids age, might think about Baraboo for a full day or two stop. Take the kids to see the Circus World Museum. Well worth the day there, at least when I was a kid.

Looks like they did some long term testing with the -12 parts they lasered. Tested to 30k flight hours in a flight school environment with no failures, with both normal and over sized holes in the parts. HBA== homebuiltaircraft.com
