    Longest after TBo

    I just disassembled an 2000 hour O-320-E2D for the first time since it was new about 55 years ago. My guess is that I could have R&R the cylinders, cleaned the pistons up, new exhaust valves and seats and probably run it another 5-10 year before liters and cam finally stated to each other...

    Magnetic Compass

    Take the golf clubs out of the airplane? Stop using a magnetic tipped screwdriver and steel screws in the areas sensitive to magnetic disturbance?

    Are we still debating that you have to get the plane in the air VS running it on the ground for 30 minutes is good enough to get the moisture out?

    Ain't work the effort. Never did that with any of them and there is almost zero corrosion in a 55 year old O320 I just saw ripped apart first time since birth.

    If GA is getting less popular and there are less new pilots why is the price of old planes not falling?

    All of them. My brothers 172 went to the Philippines.

    Cheap clapped out airplanes get bought and shipped out of the country.

    iPad mini 6 - any case or bumpers that will fit in the Ram EZroller?

    The only option for Defender Series in iPad mini 6 is...black. At least on their website. That's one way to tie a ball to it:

    Compass cracked - bird strike

    Compass needs calibrated in the aircraft and new compass correction card needs to be created, and an airframe log entry issued. https://www.faa.gov/documentlibrary/media/advisory_circular/ac_43-215.pdf I can't see it clearly in the picture but it looks like mount itself is broken and not the...

    iPad mini 6 - any case or bumpers that will fit in the Ram EZroller?

    I don’t like the limited color selection of Otterbox Defender cases but at least the default black looks fine. I’d rather have Hunter orange so I can find things in the dark easier.

The low fuel light was on for 17 miles and I put on 17.8 gallon on at my stop, Pretty sure...

    Talk me out of the Ford Panther platform (NA, obviously)

    I took that whole heater box out due to the plastic hinge being broke on the vacuum powered "mode select" door. Put a new Ford blend door actuator on it while in there. I removed everything with one hand and a hook but my dad helped me get the dash mounted back into the car. I probably could...

    EarthX STC approved!

    Where in the STC does it say this? I can't find it. This is a limitation shown on the sales website and not shown in the official installation data? They need to get the online documents straightened out. The STC certificate points to the Approved Model List. Neither have this battery location...
