I’m aware of a Slick Service Bulletin-but there could be an AD too. Point is, the OP needs to be aware of the issue and determine the applicability for his situation.

And remember, impulse coupled mags on a 6 cylinder lycoming have a recommended 250 hour service interval.

That time with Penny Benjamin.

Did they ever do carrier qualifications at sea, or was all of that in lake Michigan?

And now they are pushing advertising only emails. Not even a hint of an accompanying story. That’s pretty brassy…

Probably. But it looks like they have thrown the baby out with the bath water in several cases. I hope they don’t butcher Kitplanes too…

Like I said. Been attending for 30 years. No airframe failures. (My first Oshkosh was '94.)

Please look up those accidents and share a link. I've been going to Oshkosh <almost> every year for 30 years and don't remember any airframe failures.

You break the canopy and crawl out. Some, you can jettison before you land, but I'd be reluctant to do that. The canopy offers some protection. You'd rather it hit the rock than your noggin hit the rock.

But I can't afford breakfast now... Interesting that this event is on Sunday. I'd assumed the 18th was Saturday until I looked.

I have an excuse now. My engine broke.

Once we're inside the fence, we're on the honor system. But first, you have to scale the fence carrying several cases of beer. ;-)

Out of ignorance and curiosity... I have to ask why?

I'm with Tools. Buy something. I know what a Piet is, but I'd be looking at a Cessna 120 or 140 because they have easily (?) supportable engines and relatively large numbers of aircraft on the register. Another (less expensive) option would be an Aeronca Chief, but you're probably in the...

I would get to the point where you know you're going to follow all the way through, finish the license, and actually use it. My $0.02.

No way I'd buy an airplane before I soloed (which also implies getting your medical). I know multiple people who got that far and quit. Airplanes are expensive, lots of ways to go wrong on a first purchase, and used airplanes generally take much longer to sell than used cars, meaning the...
