Any air compressor you buy us going to induce moisture to the air. Just the process of compressing air generates heat and that heated air causes water to condense. If you want completely dry air to fill your tires then you are going to need to either use nitrogen or install a large compressor...

Time to find a new PCP. The ER isn’t a doctors office. Their mission is to treat the emergency and get you stable enough for your primary care doctor to treat any long term effects. Your pcp should have setup an appointment to see you within a day or two of getting out of the hospital and...

They only mark public utilities around here and stop at the edge of the road. If you have cable or phone line buried in your yard they will mark it where it goes underground at the pole but not where it goes once it enters your property. The times I have called them the markings they did at...

Not posting recent pictures. I don’t want to see what your plane looked like coming out of the paint shop 20 years ago. I want to see what it looks like today.

No different than any other person who lies and hides disqualifying conditions on their medical application.

It may be perfectly airworthy but if you are questioning buying it because of the hours that means when you go to sell it the market will be smaller because of people passing it over with your same concern. It may make it either difficult to sell or you may not get full value for it. Make sure...

Do you.know of any schools that are planning to offer that. My company will pay for me to go get an A&P license but the only school around only offers classes Monday through Friday from 9-4. That doesn't exactly jive with people who work a normal 9-5 job.

Not every business owner wants an ever growing business. Some are making enough money to live comfortably and the stress and additional working hours don’t justify the additional potential increase in revenue. There probably is enough work to stay comfortably busy but not enough work to have...

They go all the way down to 50-80k on TAP for a 1970s tiger. If the plane is worth 150k today you still aren’t going to raise the resale value anywhere close to 60k by doing a panel upgrade. You would be far better off selling for 150k, adding in another 60k and buying the plane you actually...

You don’t say what specific year/model but I would question the sanity of the idea of putting 60k plus interest in avionics upgrades into a plane that might not be worth much more than that when done. For 60k I would be looking at selling and buying another plane with the panel you already...

Carrying friends around may not be an issue depending on what your state laws are for teen drivers. In CT they need to hold a learners permit for 4 to 6 months then when they get the actual license it’s another 12 months before they can drive with any non family members. Essentially they will...

The limit has to be set somewhere. If it was 56 or 58 there would still be people complaining that theirs is just slightly faster and should have been included.

What part of the constitution do you believe is being violated? Last I looked things like flying in federal airspace or driving on public roads were privileges not rights.

It won’t happen because there is no motivation for them to change it. Although it may not feel like it when browsing posts on the internet, you are in a very small minority of pilots who are having to jump through hoops to get a medical. The FAA at some point determined that any arrest...

I don’t think any have crashed into an area that the general public had access to during the show until this one. There have been many takeoff and landing accidents on the ultralight field itself and a number of landings needed to be made in the emergency grass strip in the middle of camp scholler.

I’m not sure how EAA doesn’t have some liability here. Yes it’s an air show and there are risks but EAA was the one who told the Mooney where to park and even though the ultralight field is uncontrolled EAA still defined the pattern and set the schedule of who and what flies when. They chose...

If you can’t find a heat treat shop find a place that does pottery. A small pottery kiln can get up to those temperatures and be controlled to stay there.

If you aren’t building because you want to build then just buy one. 500 hours may get the fuselage riveted together but that’s only a fraction of the work. You then have everything firewall forward to figure out, instrument panel to build and wire, engine controls, paint, etc. Those items...

You can still have a carbureted backup system in an EFI equipped plane, you just need to plan for it. I’m in the middle of converting my sonex over to EFI but am still leaving the aerocarb fully hooked up. The aerocarb doesn’t have a float bowl and can be used as the throttle body for the EFI...

This is camping at Oshkosh, not on the side of a mountain. A tiny tent that you can’t stand up in would be miserable for a week at the show and utterly pointless to not have in the type of camping that most will do that week. The same with your comment about Coleman being crap. A Coleman tent...
