    Minimum Oil Level

    Yeah, the minimum level for lycomings is surprisingly low. Not that I'm gonna intentionally test it...

    WWII warbirds.

    Heck, my RV's seem like a lot of maintenance to me. I probably need a few 18 year old draftees to help...

    Nosewheel ground loop?

    One of the Oshkosh landing compilations from (?) 2022 shows a Tri Pacer *almost* having this accident in a strong crosswind. Narrow track, short wheelbase, lots of surface area up high means it isn't as stable on its gear as most other trigear aircraft. It is more likely to be tipped in a...

    Oshkosh 2024 - Who's going?

    Tickets are tickets as far as I know. Basically, you're looking at a colored wristband made of Tyvek. The only difference between wristbands is color - there's a different color for each day.

    WWII warbirds.

    Same reason I'd be interested in an early (MKV or earlier) Spitfire or a A6M2 Zero.

    Non-alcoholic beer? English, please.

    NA - If I'm in an Uber and I open a beer.

    Was the beer really hot, or do I have my threads confused?

    Conspiracy theorists, grab your tinfoil hat and strum your HAARP

    It'll probably give "your friend" new voices for enlightening conversations.

    Comm Radio Transmits in Air, Not on Ground

    I had a bad mic jack on the RV10 that caused me a month’s worth of grief before I just cut it out and soldered in a new one. The jack LOOKED fine but went from “transmits fine” to intermittent to “no workee” in a matter of days.

    Possible shingles

    Don't be ashamed. You just joined all the other social influencers. Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, etc. I'm sure they had shingles too...

    Possible shingles

    An antiviral early-on may help. I think it helped when I broke out a decade or so ago.

    Scary High Oil Temps - Lycoming 540

    Advanced timing can heat the entire engine, including the oil. Unfortunately, Bryan has an analog oil temp gauge, so it is hard to objectively determine whether he's seeing a "normal" slightly higher oil temp due to higher OAT or if something has changed. CHT's might give an indication. I'd...

    Scary High Oil Temps - Lycoming 540

    Curious - what does it indicate if one is hotter? Also, what about the other two cylinders? ;-)

    Scary High Oil Temps - Lycoming 540

    How are your CHT's? Any change there? That might be an indication of a baffling, timing, or mixture change. Any indication that you're getting more blowby through the rings?

    Aren't there SR-22’s available to rent at McCollum and PDK?

    Recommendations for flying into Atlanta

    PDK is an option, but not one I'd choose for the reasons WDD elaborated on. RYY is anywhere from 20 minutes to a lifetime away from the Aquarium. Rush hour tapers off by 9:30 AM and picks up again at 3:30 PM. I live halfway between RYY and the aquarium. My expectation would be a 25-30 minute...
