I would have paid $100 to have someone pull my yoke. Wait. Does that sound suggestive?

Definitely the mustard is off-putting.

Below is the AD for Yoke Universal Joint Inspection and the Piper MSB that goes with it. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0m27aq62xr78b1p3kde5b/AD.2010-15-10.Yoke.Shaft.Universal.Joint.pdf?rlkey=dsqk0gequzl7rdjrr5oxbnl5g&dl=0...

I'm strictly a VFR pilot. I consider my 4-place, 160 hp, 1979 Warrior II (PA-28-161) as a comfortable 2-seat plane. In 20+ years, I've had 4 people in it exactly once. All of us were slim, and to get under MGW with full fuel, passengers were allowed 5 pounds of luggage and the pilot, me...

My plane partner (now having hung up his wings) took our Warrior to Burning Man at least twice. Might have been three times. Even with a plane cover, cowl plugs, and bubble wrap stuffed in the cowl gap, dust got everywhere. It was as fine as flour and we found it in various nooks and crannies...

All the better it's on someone else's dime.

Yes, just like that. Mix/churn the corn liquor gas with fresh water and let it settle for as long as possible. Either drain off the water from the bottom or pour off the gas from the top. Mix with equal parts of your avgas and you should be good to go.

I had to look that up. Cool and weird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Seastar

Does that include pointing out misspelling? Everyone eventually says something funny--either intentionally or unintentionally--so I neither ignore nor follow--I simply skip.

A couple oldies but goodies I've posted before. I had both these issues with my Warrior (-161). 1. The field wire to the alternator is thin. In flight it continuously vibrates. This tends to work harden the point at where the wire is crimped into the connector. Over time the strands inside the...

Maybe it's just my weird sense of silly, but KELP in the desert? There is a fictional TV station, KELP, in Seattle. Now that makes sense.

I'm still interested. Spill!

How can you tell a high-wing pilot from a low-wing ... https://packaged-media.redd.it/q29gl4qyohf51/pb/m2-res_480p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&s=49b1798679f4f7b212d37823bdaa0137089899e3#t=0 Diamond-shaped divots in the forehead.
