>> The engine can function without detonation That kind of begs the question... what constitutes detonation? If you look at the advisory circulars from the 1940s and the 1950s, detonation was detected using water-cooled Sperry accelerometers which flashed when detecting events. The FAA standard...

The OEMs certainly have a big knob to turn... but as we've seen, the STC route (or other approvals, given the FAA's latest vagueness) offer an alternative. More recently, Swift's 94UL has been added by Cessna, Lycoming, and Continental to their service information on acceptable fuels. And at...

Thanks! We were there in June, but didn't make time for flying...

Affirmative. There's a two-way taxiway to/from, Stay to the right! Paul

What's that? Paul

That's true for the PAFI fuels as well... the FAA has delivered a different version of this message at nearly every EAGLE meeting, but the last I heard, even if the PAFI fuels receive "fleet wide approval" that means there will be an "approval document" (cough, STC) that you can give to your IA...

Neighbor in his 80s geared up his Bonanza. Had basic med... insurance had changed to require 3rd class... he missed it, says broker didn't point it out. Coverage denied. He wrote a check... Paul

Thanks! Just opposed closure. Paul

detailed clinical progress note?

Telemedicine. Whatever your itch, there's an online doc to scratch it for min cost. Paul

I thought resistance was futile? Paul

That's not true at all. Buy the airplane, submit the bill of sale and registration form to the FAA, and go flying. Easy easy. Paul

Wow, that is more upper body strength than I have! Paul

I didn't see anyone say that it needed to be sanitized... just that it was omitted. Bax' online obituary alludes to a bit more of it. In his mid-thirties, Bax was an online radio personality in the Golden Triangle, Jefferson and Orange Counties Texas, 90 miles east of Houston (and 40 years in...

I see Bax' Wikipedia article has been sanitized from any of the controversy. Perhaps we should leave the public record at that. From a story about his death in 2005: Gordon "Bax" Baxter, radio personality, newspaper columnist, pilot and writer whose *unorthodox views and madcap style* often got...

Jenny? I didn't know her, met her in a restaurant once, when she was about age 9. I hadn't heard... Found this on Twitter. https://twitter.com/News4SA/status/1636424592683151360 Very sad, but not uncommon in SE Texas. Our foster son there was murdered in an ATM robbery, by three high...

What, like radar? :-) Paul

What does Piper make those induction hoses out of? Seems the major problem here is lack of maintenance... Paul

I enjoyed Bax' writing. He was an awkward neighbor (Beaumont TX), not particularly confined by the truth, and often displayed puzzling judgement... even early in life. (Not just a dementia thing toward the end.) Paul

Depends on whether you're aiming at the drone, or the kids! Paul
