Basic subscription=email harassment to upgrade. You can see thread titles but no replies...

Thats a good idea....Cherokee 6 full of tools and parts?

$100 per year! My wife married a feller, not a Rockefeller!

The two years spent becoming an A&P might be better spent on building an E-AB unless youre counting on going into business. Then you'll need insurance, business license(s), hangar space for dismantled aircraft waiting on unavailable parts, etc.

Narrowing my auto engine searches and I'll need a speed reducer. Most of the off-the-shelf options are geared or cog belt designs, and most of these are airboat products. I'd love to hear some firsthand experience with psrus and the pros and cons. I'd prefer to build my own, but I'd like to...
