    Reiff vs EZ Heat

    Alaska for me. I’ve got Reiff’s highest power cylinder bands and sump heaters on both planes. I use a generator more often than not and I want to preheat in less time. Mission accomplished. Reiff is clearly the popular choice here in the north.

    Prop Governor?

    There’s a screen under the governor. First thing I’d di is pull the governor and clean the screen.

    Low oil temperature during flight

    I’ve read reports of odd temperature indications related to the omission of a reference thermocouple during installation.

    Low oil temperature during flight

    All of those temps look wonky to me.

    [NA] Thinking iphone 15

    Huh. I’ve never had an iPhone or iPad m charging issue, and I’ve had/have many. In fact I’ve never even heard anyone I know say anything about a charging or cord problem. And unless I’m sitting in the sun and leave my phone or iPad fully exposed, no overheating. I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro Max...

    Required income to afford single-engine aircraft ownership?

    Discretionary income is all that matters. What a person earns is irrelevant. It's what they have available to spend after meeting primary obligations.

    House Rep husband dies in Alaska crash

    MAYBE over gross by Cub paperwork standards, but few in AK go strictly by that. His load was not a big deal and we all fly antlers on the struts, so also not a big deal. Perhaps he was over confident about his plane’s performance, or maybe it was simply bad luck with timing the wind. It makes no...

    Jump Pilot Blames Skydiver For Fatal Midair Collision

    I guess the court will hear the facts and decide. The jumper wasn’t new at it, and neither was the pilot. I don’t presume to know the facts. And I’m here!

    Jump Pilot Blames Skydiver For Fatal Midair Collision

    I’m in France at the moment. Not a word on French news, but the accident was years ago. From what I’ve read about it I think the pilot is unlucky, not criminally negligent. I don’t see where he reversed course on descent. That said, why would the wing suit diver fly on the same heading as the plane?

    USPS lost my registration card

    My “informed delivery” is usually a few days ahead of actual delivery. Sometimes more. Be patient.

    Can You Survive Elevator Loss?

    Has to be the sleeve, right? Fixed it yet?

    Can You Survive Elevator Loss?

    No problem. The plane would be slower to respond but otherwise not a big deal. Can you fly with one aileron? Yep. One flap would be better left retracted.

    ForeFlight iPad Notice

    Re: Garmin Pilot compatibility- https://support.garmin.com/en-AU/aviation/faq/VJih3UB7ox4oKHmnozqRR6/ I don’t recall the specifics but my old Mini 4 gave me a message that the latest GP update wasn’t compatible so it continued running a previous version. I upgraded to a Mini 6 but mostly for...

    Solution: More cameras

    We need more muzzles, and more nuns breaking fingers so people stop wasting band width.

    GDL50 Port Outlet type?

    Garmin cable, adapter to fit it to your power port. Mine are tucked under the panel. Easy peasy.

    Reno midair

    I took my daughter to Reno up when she was young. Once was enough. It’s on par with Nascar. Guys going fast making left turns. I’m more a fan of F-1, and can’t wait for race Sunday in Austin. Talk about pushing the technology!

    Reno midair

    Once was enough for me at Reno. Cars? I’ll be at F-1 in Austin for race day. But that’s state of the art, not old iron.

    New Windshield - appears to be a defect

    Ask a FSDO guy to look at it and provide an interpretation. If you have a reduction of visual acuity due to a PMA parts quality issue? You may have an easier time getting action to repair it.
