Love Fleiger dials. I've beenwearing a Seiko automatic for years.

What a big block chevy looks like when the valve brakes off:

Either the retainers fallout and the valve drops into the cylinder, or the head brakes off. Either way, it is then pounded around by the piston destroyin the piston, head, and cylinder.

I'm thinking a trebuchet and a base parachute would be faster and more economical.

I own an impact driver just for those cross head case screws.

You don't have a 2700 rpm limit motor that can be spun to 5400. RPM is designed into the engine design. Traditional aircraft engines were designed to be low rpm, high torque by using long strokes on the crank and large diameter pistons. Why? Because this is simple, easy to build, low stress...

Considering they have the most aircraft and most volume of jumps, and its ever increasing, statistically they should be having more accidents. How many other DZ are flying 3 otters, 4-5 skyvans and a DC9? The question is are they having more accidents per x amount of jumps compared to other...

The world if full of terrable CFI's. Many people become CFI's as a way to build hours towards their airline career. They have no real interest in being a teacher, and sometimese are terrable teachers. Find a CFi that works for you. Remember, your the customer here. Your bringing the money...

I came here to mention that! Anyone know who did the flying? In that era I wouldnt be supprised if it was Art Scholl. EDIT: Upon further digging, it may have been Don Lykins who did the flying.

My flight school kept the four 150s tanks at 3/4 full for this reason.

Lucky, I got TWO questions on ADF's. I've never seen nor flown a plane that even had an ADF in it lol.

So here is a pic of a local class D airport KWHP. Single runway, parallel taxiway Alpha. When exiting the runway the hold short bars are at taxiway alpha requiring you to pull onto Alpha to clear the runway. My question on what to do during a busy day as to be legal you appear to be required...

The Cri Cri?

The place I rent from (172's) has us check everytime we shut down. After flipping the avionics master off, and at idle, click the key to left, then right, then for a split sec to off then back to both too see that it kills the motor. Since the key switch kills the mags by grounding, the idea...

An adaptor is only going to flow as well as the smaller port. Why the fitting on the left is back bored so much shouldn't make any difference in flow (Unless it has a nice taper on the inside and your fluid flow is from the pipe side to the AN side.) Personally, I'd rather have the adaptor...

I'm in the greater Los Angeles area and a steam gauge/430 172 is $127/hr and cfi $60. My BFR a few months ago was $250. It would be cheaper for you to fly Southwest down here, rent a car, do the bfr, and fly back!

Thee used to be a DC3 fuse on a motorhome frame food truck painted like the space shuttle that used to be at So Cal air shows. Haven't seen it in years.

Correct, like I posted a week ago but people can't be bothered with facts lol. NPTF actually has two classes of thread form precision, class 1 still needs sealant, class 2 it truly "dry seal." See...
