Identical customer here. First overhaul due to metal and low compressions was a bad cam, second one was bad lifters, and at this annual he came up with bottomed out compressions in two cylinders so they got overhauled, and the lifters were shot. Spalled, pitted, just extremely worn and they only...

The pilot's pilot. In all seriousness in 500 hours I haven't had to deal with anything too scary. Partial engine failure after takeoff in a super cub, gear not coming down when it's supposed to (hydraulic failure), almost mowed over some deer one time at night. Nothing too bad. I do have...

I almost died this week. I flew with another private pilot (non instrument rated) who was perfectly complacent with making 45° bank angle S-turns on final. I will never fly with him again. Ironically, he said he would never fly with me again because I had the guts to question his decision...

Makes sense. Thanks, Spike! Have a great day!

Can someone clarify wet vs. dry vac pumps for me? In my mind a "dry" pump is an electrically driven one, or one operated by any means other than plugging into the accessory case. The wet pumps are the traditional pumps driven off the accessory case. Is this right?

Absolutely awesome customer service. I'd rather give DC my money than any of the other manufacturers. Chances are they'll refurb your headset and give you somewhere in the neighborhood of an $80 bill. Well worth it.

I can see some validity to "flying" on the step. I fly a Seawind 3000 very regularly and it's not tolerant of changes in pitch during cruise. For example, if you stray a hundred or more feet below your altitude, the trim input or yoke input to get your altitude back scrubs off a considerable...

Frickin sweet Mooney. Absolutely love it. I have some time in an F model with the 200 horse and all the good J mods - really nice combination. About the only thing I don't like with these old Mooneys is that damn fuel selector and how you have to go through "off" to change it. Best of luck with...

Cant offer you much other than a free lunch and some pilot talk at CXY but shoot me a PM if you find yourself needing fuel around central PA!

We charge 1 hour each wheel to break down and reinstall a wheel to the aircraft, that's tire, tube, or both replacement. Why would you swing the gear after r&ring a tire/tube? You certainly don't need to be disconnecting gear door linkages on a PA32 to do this job.

Best wishes on the sale. I'll keep my ear to the ground in the Harrisburg area and I'll check around and see if anyone's interested.

Welcome to PoA. Loved the pocket-rocket as soon as I saw it, love everything about the PC12. Very excited to see the PC24s flying around.

Dude. How do you come up with this ****! Had me loling at the Bi-Cirrius one, loving the Canard pun. 11/10!

Congrats fellow young dude! Do good work, make good connections with people, be enthusiastic! Somebody told me when I was still in HS "it's not what you know, it's who you know". I find that to be pretty accurate.

Very nice Ted!!!

Beautiful shots...keep up the good work!

"and our...clock...gotta go" Frickin awesome.

Went to school under the PIT mode C veil. Haven't been in the area since 2012, home is CXY. Always happy to be a flying buddy if someone needs one.

Very cool, Jay. I love reading about this stuff. I'm fortunate enough to live in both experimental land and certified land. Keep us posted!

Very nice guy! Take good care of 78Y when it shows up, that's my girl! Gonna miss it so much. That's a neat operation you guys have down there, J3, Citabria, Great Lakes...that's my kind of fleet.
