Appreciate the comments, always nice to have another viewpoint! Sounds like I'll be doing some learning on Eddy Current Inspections and the vendors that do them!

Comments Submitted! (to proposed AD, Docket No. FAA-2024-2143) I’m a 1967 PA28140 driver with +/-4200 TIS, so I’ve escaped mention in AD 2020-26-16 and the proposed AD Docket No FAA-2024-2142. However, the proposed AD 2024-2143 has me “in the system.” Will be quite a while (probably not in my...

Probably just the way the FlightAware algorithm handles the data. We weren't on the ground at SEG for more than 10 minutes and never really stopped moving. Not sure if SEG has as a ground tower, although SEG is listed as a "reporting facility". The stop at PTW was for at least 1/2 hour...

Couple of questions. What engine? What prop pitch? What is your static RPM? Whole bunch of factors that could cause this. Real simple one could be you forgot to switch the mags to "both". On initial climb, I'm at WOT which gives me more like 2500RPM at an 85MPH climb.

Absolutely incredible! In Burlington VT, high thin cirrus, with a few breaks. Son in law had a telescope with a sun filter. The pictures do not do justice to what could be seen thru the eyepiece. The solar flares and Baileys Beads were a sight to be seen!

Scott, thanks for doing these - very helpful. We are heading to Burlington (BTV), looking good so far!

I'm surprised at the frequency you have encountered of loose/broken bolts. Since the SB isn't mandatory, how would you deal with a situation where an owner has inspected all the bolts, found none to be broken and all the torques to be correct? Replacing all the bolts per the SB is a major...

WAWA - By a WIDE margin....

Oh Yes! It was the major event at the time! Watched it from the lookout on South Mountain, maybe 3 miles away.. In the preceding year or two (prior to demo), the great adventure was to try to sneak in to Martin Towers and roam around a bit. The security there was pretty good... but not...

Grew up in the Lehigh Valley, left in the late '70's. Now live about 20 miles south. Did like the area. Back then Bethlehem Steel, Western Electric, Mack Trucks and Air Products were going strong, now, a lot of those industries/jobs are gone. That said, still a decent economic climate, good...

WOW! Ted, that is quite the piece of equipment, y'all will certainly be able to tour the county in style and comfort. Thanks for the video(s), always find them entertaining and fun. The complexity of an RV of that size is amazing, but if anyone can handle it, I'm confident it is you!

I think you will like it! Not going to go faster (pretty sure you knew that) but you will see better climb and it does sound different. The PowerFlow is a far better design with superior materials of construction. Gets rid of that abominable carb heat muff and the rat-trap muffler. IMHO, a...

Glad you and Mary got to see Biltmore. Wonderful place, a lot of history and the mansion was quite technically advanced for it's time. A good history lesson for how the "other half" lived in the late 1800's. Did enjoy Asheville - as to it being the eastern Portland - maybe, but still a lot of...

Cherokee 140's do tend to be nose heavy. When I first got my '67 140, getting the weight and balance numbers into the utility category was pretty much impossible. Did have it reweighed, turned out it was a bit lighter and when going through all the old W&B forms, an A&P 30 years ago had some...

You are correct, I did save the link with the “/community” at the end.

Interesting, I’m viewing it on an iPad right now with no issues. Went right to the site when I touched the icon in Favorites.

Nice! Displays well on both the iPad and phone. Congrats on the upgrade success!

Obviously, pretty far!!

Not quite enough information to answer your question. So, I’ll run through to scenario’s; 1) Hook up to city water; 2) Install your own well. Common to both of them is the question of how much water do you need? For common residential use, 20 GPM at 45 PSI is more than ample. If you are...

Pulled/abandoned quite a few tanks. Whether they leaked or not will depend on the original quality of the tank, local soil conditions and whether water got into them (usually does). Were the tanks registered? Some states require that, others do not. If no leaks - you are good! Not a fan of...
