Depending on how badly you want to identify them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KING-KMA-20-KR-21-MARKER-BEACON-RECEIVER-ISOLATION-AMPLIFIER-SERVICE-MANUAL-/322639624542 Steve

And what happens in a couple of years when the zip ties break and the wire bundle falls back down (maybe in flight). I had this very thing happen to me in a Tomahawk several decades ago. Wasn't fun (although it turned out OK). I would have done what others suggest - invite him to join you on the...

He is standing to the side, behind the prop as well. Much lower chance of getting hit, especially in the noggin...

Tom: Sorry you had to witness that. It made me think back as to how my A&P/IA has me 'assist' him on my airplane. I remove all the plug wires and the top plugs, I attach the tester adapter to the cylinder under test. He brings the piston in question to TDC and holds the prop from the side of the...

It could have been worse... ...he could have flung the cone into your prop...

I'm a pilot and a licensed physician. I wonder if I can sign my own form?

In the DA40, you can't get electric trim installed without the autopilot. The autopilot does not have to be engaged to use the electric trim, but it has to be installed (and the CB has to be in). Steve

I have a 2001 DA40. I love it (I've owned it since new - about 750 hours in it). The seats are hard (but 3/4 inch of memory foam has helped a lot). My legs are usually limited to 3 hours or so by bladder capacity, so the seats aren't a killer for me. I did fly 9 hours in a single day once, and...

Tried the "50's Cafe" today. Beautiful flying weather. Had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Food and service were pretty good. We were the only airplane on the ramp when we arrived about noon, there were three others there when we left. Must have passed each other... Steve

Enterprise has not been a problem for me, other than waiting for pickup. The troubles people cite are especially disappointing, given the aviation connection. Jack Taylor, founder of Enterprise, was a WWII Naval Aviator (flew F6Fs off the Essex and Enterprise, hence the name of the company).

The bag from Rudy's BBQ is a nice touch, too!

Didn't know that. I'll try it again. Steve

I flew in and ate there on a Sunday, about a year and a half ago. Was about half full, only saw two other tables that arrived by aircraft. Food was just OK, service was poor, at least that day. Manager comped desert because I complained. For South-Central TX flyin eats, I much prefer...

Let the "owner" be the test pilot from now on...

Wow! That is a long flight from Seoul. Good thing you didn't lose it over the Pacific... :wink2:

Perdido Key is in NW FL, on the Gulf, just west of Penscola. I like 'the Keys' as well, but they are a lot farther away from me. I live in TX when I'm not in FL. :wink2: Steve

Chocolate and vanilla. I knew from the minute I set foot in the Pensacola area in 1982 that I wanted to retire there. Buying a place there decades sooner just let me enjoy it on a part-time basis decades sooner. Could I pay someone else to rent their place and avoid ownership costs - sure. But...

Weilke is right on. We have had a place on Perdido Key since 1988. Right on the beach, use it about 6-7 weeks a year currently, with increasing use planned. Never have rented it (we are forgoing $2K per week in the busy season). Just like avoiding the headaches that come with rental. If you...

I was down there for the entire debacle. Wheels were initially down, as someone mentioned, to keep it from sinking further. Even with that, the cockpit was completely flooded to the lower windshield sill. They pumped out the water and re-floated it, then towed it out to the crane barge. The...

When you are at OSH, look up my buddy Bruce Winter. You will find him in the Warbirds with his P51D "Happy Jack's Go Buggy". He owned a T34A for about 20 years. I flew that plane a bit, along with T34Cs in the Nav. I really liked the plane, but my recollection is that he spent a lot maintaining...
