I went with the Reiff standard system. 50 watt band heaters clamp around the cylinders and a 100 watt aluminum HotStrip element epoxied to the oil sump. I also use moving blankets to cover the cowl and prop. I turn the system on from home when I go to bed and everything is toasty when I’m ready...

Sadly people fly with that guy in conditions he obviously should not be in or even think about.

My Lycoming IO-360 with 1047 hrs burns a quart every 8-9 hours.

I bet they had a blast!!

It seems to be a very popular wedding destination. We also found out that Bill Gates just bought two buildings down the street from the market place. He is going to build a Ritz-Carlton. As if there isn’t enough hotels……

Mary and I made plans to take a vacation to Charleston SC for four days then make the short hop to Grand Strand in North Myrtle Beach SC. I guess one out of two ain't bad, as they say. With a tropical storm getting ready to come ashore in the Carolinas, then hit our home town in Ocean City MD we...

Congrats and good luck!! I flew our Sundowner for nine years and my bride and I traveled everywhere. Flight planned for 110 knots, loved the room, and the plane was an easy keeper.

We’re heading down to Charleston on the 18th for a week. Mary and I have been following this storm, weather event, hurricane…..whatever they are calling it today. Stay safe and dry!

Just went in at the start of the month for my 3rd class and it was $150

I use an iPad mini 5 and mount it on the yoke.

Catching a bus after school to work pumping gas and doing brake jobs trying to save for my first car. Mixed working with playing baseball, chasing that pipe dream to play high school then college ball. I was so tired one day I missed the bus stop and when the driver noticed me still there he...

You can google the ear cup and mic muff replacements online all day. The actual band that connects the earcups might be found on a parts sale on ebay. After our accident I had to have one Bose X set repaired, the headband snapped in half and the ear cup itself was damaged. I contacted a guy...

Usually reroutes don’t happen around here until Philly or JFK.

Typically here at home (KOXB) I'll call up on the clearance delivery frequency to pick up my clearance. On the very rare occasion I can't contact CD I'll launch and pick up in the air. I rather have all the button pushing done prior to launch, so much easier. On TFR weekends, being located in...

I sometimes feel the same way. The weekly beach home mission is gone since we retired at the beach. For me just boring holes in the sky is a PITA. I’m just not motivated to do pattern work or breakfast runs. My bride and I had visited 34 states by GA and now in retirement should be adding to...

Always good to download the sim for the 430/530 or the 480 and work through these issues. Practice the why/what ifs from the comfort of home.

Yep, I do! :smilewinkgrin:

I’ll announce at ten and five out adding a known landmark to the five mile call. It gets busy here at the beach through the summer with jumpers, biplane rides, and tourists coming in for the weekend.

I’ll fry it up and add it to mac&cheese or have it as a breakfast side if I forget to take scrapple, pork roll, or bacon out of the freezer.

What timing…. :D
