exactly how loud are the horns on the ferry boats in Seattle? how much exhaust do those old diesel engine produce. time to say goodby to the ferry boats in Seattle also!

i'm in the process of buying one right now, they are a great airplane. first off, stalls are not a big issue. accelerated stalls are. spins are also if not handled properly. a good type checkout is a must. but don't worry, the insurance company will require it from a approved instructor...

hippie hollow. i assume because of the dam, the island, and the bluffs it makes a great background and its one of jacks goto areas for air to air. he has a lot of fantastic shots over that area. especially around sunset.

ive seen that for years, do you have any info on who and why? on a side note, you don't want to give away one of your favorite air to air spots, over the nude beach?

got to disagree with you sir, page field saw gusts of over 170kts during ian. that was before the wind equipment blew away. as to the original post, i have experience in this. during ian my pa28 was tied down on the ramp at KFMY. it had two ratchet straps and a rope on each tiedown. only one of...

i have been using the summit version of that for 22 years, never found more than a few specks in it when i clean it. a gascolator on a tailwheel aircraft is just a heat sink. it does no good, as it is not at the low point of the system. most RV's live indoors, and never see rain. put it in and...

last time i was in there it was easy as can be, they gave me priority handling and met me with a bunch of cool yellow trucks with flashing lights on them......

rv-12 is a LSA that a lot of flight schools use

It’s no quirk. There’s to much load on the breaker when everything is on. Have your a@p put the fuel pump on its own breaker.

what is the average velocity of an unlaiden swallow?

Ive read the posts you have made about that incident. your case shows everything thats wrong with our legal system. a quick read of the facts showed who was to blame for that crash, but he was dead, had nothing to get, so the lawyers went after the money trail.

this is what? number 3? i bet he will talk to the FAA.

as capt thorpe said, it depends on the type of plastic. we weld poly pro all day long. its an easy process, if done right its strong, and lasts forever. but it is really depends on the type of plastic.

shows that complacency and lax checklist use cannot be overcome by hours of experience. i will admit ive been guilty of it. very sad, but a good wake up call for us higher hour pilots.

first guess is master cyl's need to be rebuilt.

yea, but they also told me to pay attention and stop staring out the window, nobody will ever pay you to stare out the window. i sure proved them wrong!

another thing that hit me from the pictures that supports a stall spin isi see no lateral tracks from the aircraft, other than those made by the emergency responders. it appears that it came straight down with no forward motion.

however, the study was men between 25 and 55, does that extrapolate to a 90 year old man? I don't know, but i know i don't have the the physical stamina I had 5 years ago,and im only 60

i cant help but think g-loc. maybe realized he was a bit lower than he liked and pulled a little harder to tighten it up and blacked out. at that age you just can't handle the g's that you could when younger. what ever it was, RIP general. blue skys and tailwinds.
