first off, i was glad to see it fly.congratulations. BUT, there are a few things that make me cringe about this video. first, climbing into a unproven, un-flown aircraft and doing a first flight in a pair of shorts and a tee shirt is A VERY dumb idea. best idea, nomex, but at least long sleeve...

hey, the wheels are in the right place so its cool.

technically you don't even have to sign once. only the seller signs the bill of sale. the purchaser info is just typed in. now, your crazy if you dont have a signed purchase agreement contract between buyer and seller.

signed the bill of sale on this friday......

huckster, you did exactly what you should have done. pan pan, mayday, and declaring an emergency is something I just discussed at a talk i gave to the local EAA chapter about my engine failure leaving dca a few months ago. "declaring an emergency" is not recognized by ICAO. in the US...

shouldnt happen, pull the stick back from full forward and it locks.

whats this nosegear thing you speak of?

same for KSFO, except sometimes they have one LUAW on 1R and !L at the same time.

actually, it was listed at 13 mil to begin with and was reduced to 10 mil at one point. i can think of a couple of names that have probably talked to him about buying it.

as dan said, you might get lucky and have one with the bolt. are you replacing just the yoke or the yoke and the tube? i have never heard of anyone replacing the yoke in the plane, they all seem to take the tube out and replace the whole thing or change the yoke on the bench. you have the yoke...

probably not. most were installed with a taper pin in the u-joint to shaft. that pin is a bi..h to get out. you cant just un-bolt it and drive it out, the pin will bend before it moves. some guys use a modified motorcycle chain breaker to remove it.

ramp was closed due to lightning for 2:30 or so.

wow, im so sorry Ed. i can't imagine what your going through. my son will be 21 in a couple of months and I can't imagine what it would be like to loose him suddenly. thoughts and prayers to you and your family Ed.

start with the easy stuff. check mag timing, a degree or so can make a big difference. check baffling, all in place, tight,sealed and no leaks. check the seals on the top, you should see rub marks on the top of the cowl from the seals. as for fuel flow, 14 is low for full power, full rich TO...

i doubt you will find a unit that fits in that bracket. also, the way the bracket is mounted may or may not be legal for a 406 unit. there are stricter mounting requirements for a 406 unit than the 121 units had. they have to be mounted in a certain area, be mounted to structure, and have limits...

its been a long time since I flew the ATR, but the alpha will go to 250 with most loads. its just that on shorter routes it doesn't make much sense to go that high due to the time to climb. fuel burn is really about the same anywhere above 180 in it. the ATR handles ice ok, it just does not...

not exactly. just because he is under the hood, does not make you acting PIC. it must be agreed before hand who is acting PIC. the insurance policy can affect this decision. if you agreed that you would be PIC, and he is under the hood, and their is an accident, it could get messy with the...
