    Flying low and close to houses in a rural setting

    Easy way to settle the 80 foot controversy. Post the GPS coordinates about a half-mile from your house. We can track the course and width of the river without you giving away your precise location. Or, if you don't care just post your GPS coords or address.

    Out-Swinging Exterior Doors

    Another consideration. Today's bad guys dress like utility/delivery/construction/etc workers and knock brazenly on the door. An out-swinging door completely exposes you. They can grab the edge of the door and will have good leverage. No slamming an out-swinging door quickly. No hiding behind it...

    Alternative or Sustainable fuels - another gone west

    Greenies will scream about damage to the watershed. When was the last NEW hydroelectric facility built in the US? Imagine trying to build Grand Coulee or Hoover Dam today. Never happen. Endless lawsuits from "environmentalists" over the inadequate environmental impact study, EPA dragging its...

    Alternative or Sustainable fuels - another gone west

    Homeowners make many decision other reasons rather than cost. There are real and perceived advantages for a homeowner to decide to own the means of their own power production. If the H2 technology was mature, I'd gladly buy into a home electrolysis station. If I was an industry that relied on...

    Flying low and close to houses in a rural setting

    I am not doubting your report, nor the potential danger the pilot may represent, and you seem to have handled the situation well so far. One thing confuses me. It's not a float plane. Not sure how he could be taxiing on the river.

    Tailbeacon with obstruction

    My Warrior's tailBeacon has been flawless. I installed it, replacing the existing taillight, and ensured the ground connection jumping the rudder gap was good. Installed the app, adjusted the threshold once after the first flight based on the PAPR, and that's been it. Every few flights I request...

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    The NRA rules, while essential to know and follow are not LAW. I too thought the idea of Baldwin being directly responsible for the death and wounding was a stretch. His culpability as a producer in setting the work conditions and the set's overall approach to safety was more problematic to...

    Experience with McFarlane Cowl Saver baffle seal material

    Yes, that is what my 1979 Warrior had on it 23 years ago when I bought it. I always assumed it was original. Nasty, stiff stuff, but it was from 1978 or earlier. Considering its age, it held up quite well.

    Experience with McFarlane Cowl Saver baffle seal material

    Gary, did you warm up the one-piece seal in hot water before stretching it over the flange?

    Minimum Oil Level

    I knew my O-320-D3G minimum oil quantity was 2 qts, but it wasn't listed in the Limitations section of the POH. I KNEW it was in there somewhere. Searched on "minimum" and found it in Section 8.19 - AIRPLANE HANDLING, SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE/OIL REQUIREMENTS "The oil capacity of engine is 8...

    Experience with McFarlane Cowl Saver baffle seal material

    To prevent wear on the underside of your engine cowling apply foil duct tape over the wear lines. My soft baffles had worn through the yellow zinc chromate to shiny aluminum beneath. I used 2 widths. In 20 years, the tape still looks almost brand new...

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    What is "Unlawful possession of a cured vehicle?" Was it sick? Had it been preserved?

    Minimum Oil Level

    I'll jump on the bandwagon ... My Warrior's O-320-D3G will spit out a bit at 7, so I fill to somewhere between 6 and 7 quarts and add a quart when it's a quart down. If I fill to the 8 quart full sump spec, it immediately spits out a quart and I'll be on my back with paper towels.

    RPM Drops and Recovery during flight

    Check the elevator for play. See if you can move it all without the yoke moving. This will take about 30 seconds.

    Alternative or Sustainable fuels - another gone west

    Actually, 99% of hydrogen production in the world comes from a treatment process with methane (natural gas) which does come from wells. The other 1% includes electrolysis, and various low-yield bio methods.

    Thank you! I actually came back to this thread because after my glib answer I thought you deserved a straight answer. When I noticed your name in your post, it tickled a few neurons. Thank you for the kind review on Liberator Legacy. Despite sales and page-reads, reviews and rankings are...

    I'd do it, except I'm just finishing up my yearly stint as a judge for The Adventure Writers Competition, and I'd be rooting for the Border Patrol. Good luck!
