    Looking at a C150

    Don't let the fact that he flew it once for 3 hours convince you the engine is A-OK. An engine can run and seem fine to you while you're flying and be making metal. If he presumably just changed the oil at the annual you aren't going to find anything in the filter or be able to drain a little...

    What is your (affordable) dream plane(s)?

    A Cassutt. The dream is that I would have built (or at least assembled most of it) myself.

    Oshkosh 2021 Notam - Airventure

    Have the controllers at Fisk assign numbers and have an ATIS set up with "now serving #xx" when they open. "Low wing approaching Fisk, rock your wings. Oshkosh is temporarily closed, your number is 75, depart the area to the west and monitor 118.xx for Oshkosh status." And then 6PC would be...

    Finally picked up a new plane.

    Instead of the standard number shadows behind the eights, you should get $$$ superimposed. Would be a spectacular tail number then.

    Carbon Monoxide in the Cabin

    My CO detector serves multiple purposes. I've learned to use it to lean the engine, lean until it reads zero and its at that perfect spot just before the engine gets rough. It also proved itself to be a carb ice detector this past Saturday, noticed it went from 0 up to 6ppm without changing...

    What do you suppose this is

    Its a jet that was redone on Pimp my Ride. "Yo dawg, I heard you like engines, so we put some engines on yo' engines."

    First airplane camping and cooking in Wisconsin 2021

    Unrelated to the camping/cooking portion of your video, I had to watch the first part twice. Pretty sure I bought my Swift from the guy with the hangar straight across from yours!

    ANR Headsets for Children

    I just use the A20's on my kids. I bought some kid sized ones a few years back and they were barely smaller than an adult headset. A winter cap or a headband over the entire headset helps keep them from flopping off if (when) they fall fall asleep.

    Brittain autopilot, how does it work?

    Good news for me, it works! Set the heading on the small dial, pulled the vacuum knob out, turned the other knob to HDG and that’s the heading it flew! Adjusted the heading knob and it adjusted course. It didn’t do anything for altitude but I only saw 4 servos for it. I’ll have to read up on...
