I have folks wanting to that at my airstrip Just don't like the name of Drag Racing,

I had an IRAN done a few years ago to replace the Gear Up Checkvalve, they had to put a new one in as they are not available any more, It lasted a few months. Cox and Rotables are the only two fixing them and the other folks all send them there, It is a bit of a crap shoot. The HYC 5006...

The reason I am asking this is because I need a rebuild (fix) for about the forth time. I refuse to be intimidated by legalized crime and am in the process of learning everything I can about the Prestolite pump. They stopped making the pump 40 years ago and all the rebuilds are done with a...

How about $4000,,,,for the Prestolite pump

Anyone been overcharged for rebuild of Prestolit power pack.???

For longer term storage outside I have wrapped the wings with bubble wrap before putting on the covers. Never had a chance to measure effectiveness against hail.

I have one button that I never use,, it changes the channel on the CD player, all installed by previous owner with correct paperwork. I can not figure out how to turn off the CD player so just keep the breaker pulled.

Having grown up milking cows twice a day I was accustomed to talking all the time. When you talk to cows they know where you are and you do not surprise them and get kicked. So when I started messing with planes I always talked to them. Kinda build up a relationship. About 50 years ago when...

Cost I can not tell you. I was in the business for 50 years but we specialized in high end weddings and corporate events. Our supplier for what we called Clearspan Structures was Losberger De Boer - out of Germany, I visited their factory several times and was amazed at the permanent...

A fabric hangar that can be removed when the ground lease is up. Fabric 30 year life for white. colors less. Engineering specs to meet local codes. Life is a barrel of fun. Ken Andrew.

On a flight from Whitehorse YT to Fairbanks over the mountains any kind of water looked good, the lakes are all flat in Alaska. Retractable gear Commander.

they already have "tents" at Denver International.

Pfarber, Yes and well exceed the code. The military have been using them for years. The wind and snow loads they can accommodate can far exceed those of traditional metal buildings. Building my hangar most of the cost was in the concrete slab, the bifold door and erection costs. You...

Before I built my own hangar I looked a lot into fabric structures. Having owned a tent company for fifty years I was well versed in the engineering and capabilities of these structures. So many airports have surplus blacktop areas, not always perfectly level and some water may run...

I am glad to see some good reporting by the press, It is very important to get his kind of information out to the flying public. There was no mention of him failing to file a flight plan. Any pilot could accidently activate the flux capacitor. Life is a barrel of fun.

The hangar waiting list is a bit of a fallacy. so there are 85 people on the waiting list and they are also on the waiting list at 17 other airports, the first one to available they will take and not call the other airports. There is such a buddy system on hangars that the way to do it is...

Whatever kind of camera you use be sure to have a tether if like myself you take pictures with the small window open. Life is a barrel of fun.

My situation was a little different. I had about 300 hours and an IR. It was only my second trip into ATL (Hartsfield) back when GA could use it more. My parents were due to arrive on a flight from England at 3 pm, this was about 1980. The flight was delayed and delayed, I changed my IFR...

Is this a registered airport or a private strip? I had wires just across the road from my runway threshold, I enquired about getting them buried and the cost. No word back from them for a couple of months, then, when they converted the line by adding three phase they put in new poles and...
