Is there a reason there is not a thru-hole in the shaft, or one all the way through to the other side, so that it’s not dependent on a little nub of a set screw? Did the original spring pin setup involve both sides of the shaft? The staking doesn’t look like the staking in the instructions...

I offered one of mine to match any scholarships that they would receive with cash. They didn’t bother to apply for any. Different priorities.

I can get popping in my manual transmission Jeep when I let off the throttle. Engine braking. Road is turning the engine with throttle closed, which means high engine vacuum. The equivalent in aviation is very low MP. I will guess that you can recreate or stop the popping by adjusting MP...

With an engine monitor, the red blinking numbers will probably get you to push mixture in a few seconds after you’ve started the go/around cuz you’ll be like WTF? Prop setting will give no such warning and risks detonation like when you try to start a vehicle moving in a higher gear, in...

So you like it, lol!

I know it’s been almost a year and I missed this one. I ended up getting an appraisal when the insurance company was balking at my stated hull value when I was seeking to increase my coverage. They hadn’t considered the market price increases, my upgrades, and STCs. I use Falcon.

Sorry to hear. It’s only money and you only live once, but there may be better things to spend it on…and you don’t want to be in a hole that you can’t dig out of. If it’s not all about the $$$, your rant is still valid about everything else. I don’t know what I don’t know, but so doesn’t my...

I have 2 different ones, 2 years apart, raised the same way. Both are hard workers. Both went to public schools, then private colleges. One graduated a year ago and hates being supported. Moved out to a big city. Struggling to find career work, so working 1-3 hourly low pay jobs to make...

Tails

The lack of agreement is good info in and of itself!

You just got that petty paint job, are you planning to add the flags of the new countries you land at?

That’s what I was wondering too, but just Iran and their satellite bandits, specifically because of that N tail number.

Interestingly, the sound of bullets zinging through the air and ricocheting off hard objects, not the firing, is a pretty cool and somewhat accurate depiction. I have (too) close 1st hand experience with both, lol.

You gotta put an axe handle in it if it’s empty.

All the bullets I heard when my dad was watching westerns had a cool ricochet “pitchow” sound…that was cool and it’s the noise we made when we played cowboys & indians. That’s what I remember.

Pics are eventually coming in this thread or a new one, right?

Sounds like a cordial face-to-face private discussion is in order. Allow him to show you some grace in case he made an embarrassing mistake. Then go from there.

No such subsidies. That would be nice. No, you can’t get paid until you get your commercial pilot certificate, and then you have to have your own commercial operation (non trivial) or fly for one. Many fly for Pilots-n-Paws. Like Angel Flight and many other similar entities, the pilot pays...

With FlightAware, just use flight time plus another 0.3 or whatever it is for the airports you started and taxiied, and taxied and shutdown at.

@chemgeek how is an oil sample introduced into an ICP? I’ve run water samples through a nebulizer, but have no idea how oil is done (yeah, I could probably look it up, but this is one of few “social media” that I participate in and feeling social :) ).
