See below. Arguing with an inspector is like mud wrestling a pig. Eventually you realize the pig enjoys it!

It had not been answered when I started typing. I didn't check again before hitting "Post Reply". No problem, just clarifying.

Since we have some in their 80s and 90s, I'd be curious to know if anyone's father may have been born before mine. Grant was in his second term when my father was born (Nov. 1873). Since I am among the oldest 16 who have responded to the poll and he was already mid 60s when I was born, the...

Check ACE 97-02. It provides for using actual front seat position with the Cherokee instead of the mid-position provided in the POH. Helps a lot with the forward CG issue. Just have a heavy passenger put his seat all the way back.

You assumed wrong as to what I was questioning. Someone asked what you meant by SRM and I was providing my guess.

Structural Repair Manual ???

Per the above link, between 1.3% and 8% gasoline vapor/air mixture the mixture is explosive. That means that 93.3 % of the possible concentration range is not explosive but 6.7% is explosive. Numbers edited per Tim's comment. Thanks

I've only done two - from a Cherokee. The potentiometer windings were totally exposed. Cleaning the surface of the wires where the wiper makes contact completely fixed one and greatly improved the other. From an engineering standpoint, I have always wondered about the wisdom of having moving...

Not familiar with it, just the ones in the Cherokee.

I would expect the problem to be corrosion where the float wiper arm moves over the windings of the potentiometer. If the windings are accessible after the sensors are removed, try cleaning them with a pencil eraser or some other fine abrasive.

It is as defined by the NIST

It is a function of state law. Any answer from any state other than the one you are in is not relevant. Within the same state, county assessors may interpret the same law differently even though they make a great effort to be consistant. This issue has been through the court system in Arkansas.

Because you had a birthday???

As a former small airport manager, I was surprised at how many pilots couldn't figure how to get into the terminal building using the keypad. It was posted as "KXXX GND", a nearby towered field. I guess that too few around here had enough experience at controlled fields. At least it was clear...

There is an app for about $10 that determines RPM from sound. Good for checking tachs.

Yeah, Arkansas is horrible. Don't any of y'all get it in your head to move here now, ya hear!!!

We have some Looong generations. My grandfather was a civil war veteran (27th Indiana Inf. and U.S. 3rd Artillery, Battery C)

Saw them in daily operation during about 3 1/2 years as ship's company on the Enterprise from early 63 thru Aug. 66. We carried Spads, Vigilantes, Crusaders, Scooters, and Phantoms.

I've always regretted that I didn't have at least audio of my granddaughter's spontaneous enthusiastic outburst when we were just a couple of hundred feet up on take off.

So how is the balance of the other control surfaces?
