I’ll be there too. Anyone want to meet up, I’ll be staying at Circus Circus.

I could just feel that thing winding up. Please kids, when you realize you've done something stupid and are screaming earthward (relative term), pull the power off!

One of the tricks I heard was to mount the Dynafocal mount to the engine while its on the hoist. Level the aircraft with a tail-lift, then hang the engine and mount on the firewall. I haven't done this. But, I remember reading about it some time ago. I hung an engine on a conical mount by...

The biggest problem is that since we use the bbcode to insert web-hosted pics into our posts, the link you insert into the wrapper has to be the in a format similar to https:"]www.yourpicturehost.com/you'reid/youralbum/yourpicture.jpg (I'm using N for M here so you can see. Some media hosting...

Gear legs. One on top is as received from manufacturer in rough machine finnish to 600 grit. The one on the bottom was wet sanded by hand with 600/800/1000/1500/2000 grit, two passes each. A "pass" is sanding until a uniform texture is achieved over the whole surface causing deeper scratches...

I see its described as a "race plane". Where does it race? What class or organization?

From what I've read online, I can't make heads or tails out of this. I would hope the intent is to keep the states from setting arbitrary deadlines for the elimination of 100LL at federal grant supported airports before unleaded AVGAS is widely available. It doesn't matter how much you want...

You at Skagit?

I took this at the last HFM fly-day. Link is to the museum's aircraft info page for this Harvard/Zero movie star. https://heritageflight.org/aircraft/a6m2-zero/

Audio "lo" is also called audio "common", or "ground return". Its typically customary to terminate all of the audio "lows" or "ground returns" along with any shielded audio "shield drains" to a "common" grounding point. Usually close to the connector backshell on the audio panel. If you have...

I don't see how this is any change from the previous AC90-66B. Some of the wording has changed slightly because the internet lawyers fussed so much about it. But, the way I see it the new one just adds more ambiguity. IMHO, if you're on a straight in, "final" is when common sense says any...

Maybe not as rare as Ron's Martin Mars Book. But, I also acquired a rare aviation book today. I've been looking at this one on Ebay for awhile. Searched and searched for one cheaper, cannot find another for sale. So, I made the seller an offer, and he accepted! My little aviation...

This is the scene I came upon yesterday when I took a break from the crap show in my hangar. Don't know what happened, but a friend said the little tan/brown Pacer underneath had just been restored. The white Stinson apparently was airborne when it dropped a wing and nosed into the parked...

Always: Use your remote control to open the hangar door as you're taxiing in, then do a high power pedal turn so you blast the whole hangar with all the sand and FOD in the immediate area. Always: Use the handy tow-bar thats not yours, then put it where its rightful owner won't find it. Never...

65 years old, can't keep glasses up high enough on my nose to be able to read wire, pin/socket numbers. I gotta pee every 20 minutes and my wife's ****ed if I'm not home by 3 to help wrangle the grandkids. I swore after the last one-off panel, I wasn't going to do anymore. But here I am, ass...

Gotta agree! I think I'm past the whole sports car thing. 70 is the fastest you can drive on public roads in my area. And from what I remember track days were a lot of hassle for too few minutes of fun (I can only imagine what its like now). If I had enough money to buy a used Maserati, I'd...

The control tower is paid for and operated by Grumman Aerospace. Grumman is a major employer in that part of Florida with big DOD contracts. When they announce "no practice approaches", it is so.

Was too damned intrigued. Had to look. Glad you got it. Looks sharp! There was a Comanche derelict that has lived on the ramp a few rows down from my hangar for a long time. The port sent out notices to vacate last month. And last Friday, some guy showed up to claim the Comanche. It was...

^^^This. Keep it low-key and keep it to yourself.
