You can do the R, but the A&P needs to do the &R. I would think you could order a refurb for quick delivery and send your core in.

Let me know how it goes, please.

If possible, confirm the longevity of aftermarket control arms. The originals are “soft” and prevent cracking. The tubulars are cool looking, lightweight, but may give up some durability with respect to road-life over tens of thousands of miles. Depends on how much you’ll use the car. Those...

I reached out to John a couple months back to do my plane and he was scheduled out to the end of the year and reluctant at that time to schedule more work. I reached out to him recently but have not heard back yet.

Added header tank on my conversation too.

And for the OP, the TBO of my IO-470 is 1,600 hrs. Math that…

On the other side of this argument is the parts availability (finding/timing/cost) and almost universal knowledge among A&Ps how to work on the older stuff. There are a lot of them flying. Also, all of the ADs are out on the old stuff. The new plane is possibly going to take some new blood and...

And you have an extra half-million $ or so left over to spend on other stuff now…

Wow, is 90% power typical cruise for these diesel engines?

It’s a matter of wallet first. It’ll cost more to get an injected engine. I have an IO-470 in my 182P, but I bought it that way. Second, you get a few benefits: -No carb heat. -You can fly lean-of-peak and save fuel if you like. -My engine is 260hp and helps with climb performance. Hot...

One would think. I’ll take a stab. The less unsaturated molecules (organic molecules with double bonds, also known as olefins) there are in a blend, the less degradation over time. If the new formulation contains just as few unsaturateds, it should be fine. I don’t think there are any...

Congrats! My one and only elk hunt was a bust, north of Mora, south of Taos and Angel Fire. We were on horseback but the elevation was murder anyway.

Or the evapotranspiration that waters the corn, and the bees that fertilize the seed? God, I think…same as IA.

Could it be your antique seat design causing your hips to move in such a way as to hurt your seasoned back? If you don’t have a modern bike seat, might want to try that out.

For the early market entrant, wanna get their R&D investment back as soon as possible.

Mine is 1% of hull, 182.

What does that mean in mere-mortal speak? :D

I am not a CFI but have plenty of friends that are. They make their own availability at a local flight school operation. One was an assistant chief flight instructor and a full time firefighter. Another is a remote worker for 40 hours and instructs on the side. Another schedules his work...

Never thought I’d pose this question, but here I am… We went on a cruise to see various sites in AK. Saw a lot of cool stuff of course, and weather was unseasonably beautiful for early September. My wife and I talked with a number of people who live there during the tourist season. In...

That was fast. You don’t mess around. Congratulations!
