    [N/A] What's your blood type and how is your relationship with Mosquitos?

    I don't know what type of blood I have? But I do keep a can of spray in the plane and in the hangar that I use every night I am at the hangar. Without the spray I would probably be dead by now.

    What do you use in your mouse traps?

    Yup that is why I pick up any dog food pieces and snap the lid on the dog food bowl put it in the fridge before I leave at night. And my dog seems to like cold dog food? Empty the trash can also and toss it in the dumpster on my way out of the airport so not to attract mice.

    Tool box recommendations for future A&P mechanic

    I think you will be alright because I can't think of any times I needed a 9? 7-8mm and 10 of course but don't remember needing a 9 much? The tools at my hangar are a mix of tools that I had extras from home, work and race car tools. They are not all name brand tools. I only have tools I need...

    when you don't have your maint. logs with you?

    Avionics shop does the same thing, gives me stickers. One thing that I do give them is my orginal POH so they can take pages not needed anymore out and put pages in for any new panel work and they put a new W&B in also. Mine is very fragile like the dead sea's scrolls. lol Scott treats it with...

    Trained in 172 and want to move to a Cirrus

    When I was training in a 172 there were students learning in a SR20 at the school I went to. All I know is they were paying about 100 bucks more per hour then. BTW I am still flying a 172... don't feel bad about it. I am still learning to fly it and still having fun in it. I just landed, I had...

    Tool box recommendations for future A&P mechanic

    Yes that would be a snap on #2 phillps head with a long shank. I use it every time I work on the plane. And I wear them out also and not afraid to buy a new one every 10 years or so. The best craftsman phillips is not close to snap on phillips. If you only own one snap on tool make it a long...

    Tool box recommendations for future A&P mechanic

    I first had small Craftsman boxes I got for Xmas when I was very young from my parents. I used them a lot and took the best care of them as I could. Loved those boxes. But I wore them out and filled them several times over. I used them at home. At work I bought used boxes from the tool dealers...

    Tool box recommendations for future A&P mechanic

    I would buy used toolbox to start with. It's what I did years ago. I did get them from the snap on and mac tool dealers. Today I would look on Craigs List and other places for good used ones. Even HF used ones would be alright in my book as I have few tool boxes from HF. But I do not buy many...

    nervous

    I trained in 2015, the plane had a garmin 530 but I was not shown how to use it much until after my solo XCs. Mostly what I was shown was how to use direct to toward the end of my training. I did all my flight training/planning on a chart with a pencil. My CFII was there of course that day and...

    Which Oil Quick Drain Hose for my Arrow II

    You need a low profile drain valve because of the gear. You are missing the nipple that 1/4 turn locks into the drain valve to allow it to drain. You can slip any kind of hose over it. I bet yours is this one? https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/curtis05-15400.php?clickkey=185959...

    FBO Self Serve not being checked for a month.

    Seems to me that if management has been made aware then you should "stay in your lane" OK I'll bite and ask a couple questions... Are these above ground tanks or underground tanks? And what do you mean by "sumping"? Have you been trained to do it? If so tell us how you do it? Does anyone stick...

    Why didn't they fly the plane back to the runway?

    Is that the first time the canopy has come apart on this model aircraft. Wow they are lucky someone didn't get seriously hurt by the canopy.

    UPS rant

    No we have to walk a 100' to the street and cross it to get to our mailbox. It can be dangerous. If they are bringing something that won't fit in our mailbox then they pull in the driveway put it on the back porch. When I was kid our mailbox was on the front of the house and the mail came...

    Why didn't they fly the plane back to the runway?

    Why did they fly it at all? That's my question? I would hated to learn to fly in something that small and unproven.
