WWII era navy ships were equipped with flowing stream troughs which weren't just urinals. They had slats across them to sit on. Then there was always the joker who would throw a flaming wad of toilet paper in at the head of the stream.

I did it. Never regretted it. Hard to go wrong with a good Cherokee. It helps if you have some idea of how you are going to use the plane. It is a lot cheaper to buy avionics already installed instead of installing it yourself. For a cross country plane, you probably want at least 160 HP

Found a surplus 19" relay rack 24 V power supply/battery charger capable of 50 Amps constant load. Teamed it with an electric fork lift powered by a 24 volt battery. Made a pretty good "GPU" for small 24V aircraft.

From the initial post - "This s a non-towered GA airport (KRUE) with no ground based approaches other than an OOS NDB-A"

That looks like the issue. The approach surface would start 200 ft before the threshold at the width of the primary surface (250 ea. side of CL). It goes out 10K feet and widens to 4K ft. It would come about 20 feet closer to the taxiway for every 100 feet so 120 ft so it would be about 370...

The only GPS approach with vertical guidance is on the other end (Rwy 7). 25 does have about 800 ft of displaced threshold so the approach surfaces do start earlier with regard to pavement end but the threshold did not move from its pre-construction location. Good thought. But the GPS approach...

If the airport takes federal money, federal rules apply. Some one already posted a link to them. They were revised 2 or 3 years ago to be more reasonable with regard to non-aviation stuff being acceptable as long as it didn't limit the aeronautical use of the hangar. The FAA will react to...

I was hoping for something a little more directed. I thought that this might be something that is affecting a lot of airports and there may have already been some discussion about it.

Not a current picture, see previous post. Sorry but I don't have a current picture. I worked airport ops too. I retired from 7 yrs. as director of this airport 2 years ago and was on the commission before that.

This picture isn't current. The pavement (25 & taxiway)now extends 400 feet further to the ENE. It shows where the hold markings originally were on the connections between the parallel and the runway. There is now one on the parallel taxiway well before getting to the run up pad.

I haven't been aviating or hanging out at the airport so apparently I've missed something. When I was last there, the runway holding position markings were all on the connecting taxiways between the runway and the parallel taxiway about 200 or 250' from the runway center line. This s a...

My engine would sometimes keep running by firing occasionally after pulling the mixture to idle cut off. Advancing the throttle stops this.

I have the same concern. I don't know if it is valid or not but energizing the alternator after the engine is running eliminates that possibility with no negative side effects that I can think of. That was my practice.

It worked in my Cherokee 140

Don't get what it means for you. My wife's name (German) is Ute so, for me, it is "Nein! Nein! Ute"

On a Finnish 182 Sky Jump Plane- OH-WTF Plenty of images on the net.

A city that I always enjoyed visiting but haven't been there since about 1985. Thanks for the pictures.

Your insurance company doesn't pay off when you need it.

Interesting - since Goodyear once built an inflatable aircraft.
