Water not a solvent? It is the solvent.

I would admit to being a troll before admitting I’m a idiot.

Hi Loks are great. But the hole needs to be dead nuts straight and reamed to the proper size. I worked the X47B prototype and we had to sell each and every hole. Nothing but hi shears, hi loks. May be able to go first or second oversized hi lol instead of a full rivet size. Cessna engineering...

You’re from San Diego Rudy, remember the PSA / Cessna 172 midair? Guy blasting through controlled airspace.

Sky ain’t that big around airports, or many popular areas. I think you’re being willfully ignorant and your analogy is weak at best.

DD are hard but not super hard. Big airplanes use lots of them, I’ve driven plenty of -6 ones, no big deal. Rivet smoking is a loose rivet.

At eclipse the inspectors were from Cessna (there was a sign by the airport by Cessna begging for them to come back) a bunch of experienced contractors, a bigger bunch of direct employees from a local bus manufacturer and engineers that didn’t have a clue. Lots of tribal knowledge amongst the ex...

Why bother they’re going to get blasted with exhaust anyway.

Most insurance covers a properly rated and current in type pilot.

I would charge him your hourly rate and invoice fuel as materials.

WD-40 is useless for anything. Except displacing water.

Soda gets into every nook and cranny. There was a dry ice blasting method that never took off, seemed like a good idea.

I don’t get the mike bush worship. Maybe if you don’t have a lot of maintenance experience he seems to be a genius. Having said that, there’s no problem running past tbo but consider this: I recently bought a Mooney C with the original engine, 2600 hours on it, compressions good, no metal. When...

You wouldn’t believe some of the flight and maintenance operations I saw there. Learned a lot, but mostly because of a desire to do things correctly. Have a bunch from when I worked at Eclipse jet at the start of production. I’ll never get in one.

Not my opinion, it was of a searey dealer who watched the icon guys measure every inch of a searey.

Nothing new. I worked at American International out of Atlantic City in the early eighties (Dc-9 operator) and we carried the scum of the earth. Low fares that competed with the buses, open seating and more than one gate agent got punched by a irate sleezebag. The parent company was a bus company.

The searey dealer also said the Icon guys measured every detail of a searey at a show and lo and behold the Icon came out after that. He claims the Icon is a searey clone.

The new mgl v16 has gotten good intercom reviews.
