I thought that fire hydrants were designed to break off above the valve so that no water was released. I've only seen one hit by a vehicle but that is what happened with it.

Chernobyl brings back a bunch of memories. I was working in Germany on completing and starting up a power plant when it happened. I was in the middle of a presentation to a committee of the German Reactor Safety Commission when their leader was paged out to be notified about the event...

When our airport (KRUE) was built, lore has it that wind data was given priority over terrain. We have 7/25. 9/27 would have avoided a hill that recently got in the way of a Bonanza and resulted in 4 funerals. The hill has also resulted in a considerable threshold displacement on 25 as the...

No we aren't. But it sure doesn't appear to be a faulty rectifier. It may be doing exactly what it was designed to do.

When I added a second radio and an audio panel, I moved the whole thing to a work bench with the trays mounted in an angle iron rack. The great majority of the wiring goes between these pieces. When you are done and put it all back in the plane, you have a few wires to deal with that go elsewhere.

If you are leaning for cruise, you should be high enough that you can't cause detonation.

Did you learn in a Cessna? The nose wheel in a Cessna has a soft link (bungee cord) to the rudder pedals so it will align itself with the direction that the plane is travelling when it touches down. The Piper nose wheel has a hard link to the rudder pedal so it will reflect rudder position...

Another approach which I have read but never tried is similar to the lean til rough, then enrichen til smooth is put in carb heat, lean til rough, remove carb heat. Supposedly same end result. Anyone know more about this method?
