Let her know to expect it to be noisy. I think my grand daughter was 3 when we tried it the first time. She was looking forward to it until until I went to full throttle for take off. The noise scared her and we just did the pattern and landed. A year later, she was begging to go again and...

FAA short term funding extension has passed the senate/ Vote still ongoing but presently at 85 to 4 1:11 Central

Oh the humanity ---- How many bureaucrats will no longer be needed in OKC to perform tasks that were never needed to start with.

They wouldn't charge him anyway.

The thumb wheel operates an on-off switch that provides power in parallel to the Nav lights and to a rheostat. Continuing to turn it varies the brightness of the radio/panel lights using the rheostat for a 71 Cherokee 140. As to the split switch, you are right that it is Master and the...

My Cherokee 140 was up around 5500 hrs on the Sensenich prop with no record of it ever having been touched. I had the prop modified and repitched. A prerequisite for the mod was that it be within the manufacturers recommendation for overhaul so it got overhauled, modified and repitched. Cost...

What aircraft/weight was the cable brake set for?

Mud daubers can do some pretty impressive work. I found a dauber nest on the counter weight of an aileron that prevented full aileron deflection. They can accumulate over the years.

Haven't seen it myself but have been told that "in the age of Morse", and experienced radioman could pass dits and dahs from his headset through his brain and fingertips to a typewriter while carrying on an unrelated conversation.

Thanks!

Does it have a function? I assumed that it would flag posts from those members that I elected to follow. I tried it on one and have seen no reaction of any kind.

Doesn't have anything to do with lens correctable blurry vision but I strongly recommend getting at least the eye pressure test (puff test) once a year. High pressure damages the optic nerve (glaucoma) and can go from normal to significantly high in a year. Damage is permanent. In my case...

What is the marginal cost of each additional hour? Once all of the money is spent that is going to be spent for capital and infrastructure costs whether the plane(s) move(s) or not, what additional money is actually required to fly it and accompanying fleet for an hour.

Excessive engine smoke?

If your aircraft has longitudinal stability (returns to level flight on its own after a longitudinal perturbation, i.e. up or down elevator momentarily), then the static and moving components of the horizontal tail are providing a net down force (negative lift). Lift, negative or positive...

Some Piper model/engine/prop combinations are supposed to be one way, some the other. Google prop clocking for your model Cherokee (or check prop installation in the maintenance manual for your plane) and see what you find. What ever way you decide it should be, put it that way before dynamic...

Sent some info via PM

I've used dry ice to chill the center part when replacing the ring. No need for any heat on the ring.

What he said.

A rule of thumb that I've heard but know of no basis for is that for each ten HP increase, you can increase the prop pitch by two inches and keep the same RPM such as at wide open throttle straight and level. It worked for me on my Cherokee 140. I like WOT S&L to give me redline RPM. I...
