It's funny that you say that. Years ago I applied for a technical writing job. In order to get "ISO whatever" certification, the various processes performed at a given plant had to be documented. My job would have been to follow an operator around and document everything he/she did, and write it...

There are three possible “culprits” here: the engine, the governor, and the prop. Only one has “changed” recently, and that’s the engine, although I assume that the governor was removed from the old engine and installed on the new. Which engine are you running? Look like the Cardinal RG can have...

As an interesting sidenote, the Pilatus factory was used as "Auric Enterprises" in the movie "Goldfinger." It's the place they melted down the car.

Ted: Obviously, I don't know the details about your friend, but there could be any number of reasons for the delay. My brother in law is a surgeon. When he was in medical school, he complained to his parents about the lack of cadavers for the surgeons-to-be to practice on. My mother & father...

Hara Arena was pretty heavily damaged in the tornados that went thru here last night.

I'm very surprised to see that CJ-6 abandoned. For some reason, I've always been pretty jazzed by that plane. I hope it doesn't rot away.

It's not at Hara any more. It's at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia. I went the first year they were there (2017), and didn't go last year. The first year they had a lot of traffic problems, as the fairgrounds are pretty remote, but I understand last year was much better. The fairgrounds...

The Dayton Hamvention is this weekend! I'll be there working at the Dayton Amateur Radio association "Special Event Station." Don't know how much actual operation I'll be doing, but I'm scheduled to be the station monitor (to help the actual operators) from 1500 to 1700 on Friday. I expect most...

No direct experience, but you might try the railroad. My BIL shipped a car from New Orleans to Dayton, OH on the railroad. Don't remember what he paid, but it was very inexpensive.

How about Eddie Rickenbacker? Indy Race car driver, WW1 ace, Medal of Honor recipient, survivor or at least two air crashes, one where he was adrift in the Pacific for 24 days.

Will eating one of these give you the "munchies?" https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/carls-jr-will-become-the-first-major-fast-food-chain-to-debut-a-cannabis-infused-burger/ar-BBW1Q7H?ocid=iehp

Ron - when you were there a few weeks ago, was the wood "screen" (I don't know what else to call it) still around the altar area? When I was there several years ago there was a wood screen or wall around the altar area that was carved with scenes from the Bible. I have read that the altar...

My far and away favorite is "Coldwarmotors." Bunch of Canadian guys that haul old junk cars out of farm fields, and either get them running, and sometimes do a whole lot more. They are currently working on a 1960 Plymouth Fury. They operate on an absolute shoestring budget. Their motto is "Spend...

Hartzell Service Center can do it. Hartzell Field I17 Call ahead. 800.942.7767 (Option 4)

Could it be the ignition switch? I know it's rare for switches to fail, but maybe the switch works in the "start" position, but not "run?" You could simply bypass the switch to test.

Another contributor is family. The pilot of the family died and the heirs are trying to sell it. They don't know anything about the plane other than "it's worth a lot of money." In many of these cases, the aircraft sat for years prior to the death of the pilot because the pilot lost his/her medical.

How about this one? Don't know anything about it, but it came up on one of those annoying YouTube ads. Price looks pretty good, and is run by a drill, so no air needed. https://www.papabearhome.com/products/domom-zipbite?variant=18376919941177

This probably isn't germane, but "red tagged" parts can be returned to service, with one important proviso. Say, for example, a part had damage that would render it unserviceable. The part would be "red tagged" at that time. Some entity - either the original equipment manufacturer, or a repair...

You can do 12 wpm, more than a lot of people can do (including me).
