    What is Going on at KBJC (Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport)/Cost to Relocate Port a Port Hangar

    I’ve never heard of these portable T hangers before. If you have a pile of independent hangars that are identical, I imagine somebody crafty could put together an apparatus to move them. Get somebody like Mike Patey involved.

    FAA To Approve Use Of 91UL Fuel In Two-Thirds Of Piston Fleet

    I am quite surprised so few are on the list. I bought my airplane from KBNW in Boone, Iowa. They also sold a 100ll/mogas mix, IIRC 25% 100ll. I thought that was a reasonable solution that I wish I had locally.

    Something going on around DC

    Pack(s) might have never been selected on? On the CRJ the outlet valve is ~6”. Pressurizing the jet to 6lb delta on the ground that valve is 1/2 or 3/4 open and the amount of air coming out is tremendous. Just trying to add some context to the air involved in these systems.

    Airplane with prop strike and no documented overhaul

    The prop strike and documentation after the fact do not bother me.

    Oh Piper

    I’m not familiar with this application. I would think it should be obvious if 3/8 bolts are installed. Removing them should not be necessary.

    Oh Piper

    I don’t interpret those instructions as direction to drill a 3/8 hole. Any decent mechanic should’ve been asking questions before that happened.

    Hail damage

    Had a hail storm come through this week. It dropped the largest hail that I’ve ever seen in person. My truck, shops, roof, and the 172 all sustained hail damage. The damage to the 172 is on top of the wings and stab, didn’t see anything in the fuselage itself. It’s not as bad as other...

    Turn coordinator replacement - time required

    I would also agree that 3.5 hours sounds reasonable. To comment on other posts here, they should also be billing you for paperwork, parts research, packaging ect. Businesses cant give time away.

    advice for handling A&P shop

    Owners need to be aware, send 3 mechanics out to inspect an airplane and they will likely find 3 separate issues. Send them out again and I bet they find more. IMO, its not realistic to count on an inspection coming back clean since it was just inspected a few days before. I cant tell you how...

    Others vs. Mike Patey?

    More power and an constant speed prop were on the short list after the initial flights. I believe he does everything over the top just because that’s what he wants to do. I believe that YouTube videos probably are not driving that. He built that jeep a long time before YouTube. I have other...

    Others vs. Mike Patey?

    Patey is also building from established designs, though obviously quite modified. The production of scrappy is unfeasible for mass production, and is very crude compared to what dark aero is doing. Thats not to say he doesn't produce some good results.

    Civil Air Patrol questions

    I have a brother-in-law that’s been in the guard a couple years now. He hasn’t left home other than training and some storm cleanup. I was surprised to see him sporting a veteran license plate the last time I saw him. In my own mind, I didn’t think that really made the cut.
