Seems like you knocked off a little corrosion by cycling the switch/cb. Use some electrical contact cleaner. I am a a&p.

I just went through this. Insurance companies have a minimum cost, regardless of how small the operation. It is $6,000 a year. I tried every avenue and 6,000 is the absolute lowest quote I got. The a&p on the airport is a rip off, people use him once and never again and the airport manager is...

I had a corporate guy look down his nose at my straight tail 182 in St Thomas. He then starts going on about the jet he's flying. I said that's nice but my 182 goes where I want it to not where my boss tells me to go. I then asked him if his boss made him wear a chauffeur hat. That shut him up.

Now that you're a captain you can lose the condoms, your personality will be a more effective birth control method.

Don't you love it when someone starts a thread to show everyone how smart he is?

My straight tail 182A had no cowl flaps.

I was a mechanic a Braniff, DFW, until they shut down in the middle of my shift, May 12, 1982. They still owe me money! But it was the best airline job I ever had, went to the dark side (AA) it just wasn't as much fun.

People that think the airlines want it private for "modernization" should stick their head into a 20 year old airline airplane cockpit and see how interested they are in modernization of their equipment. They scream bloody murder when they have to spend another dime on equipment. The airlines...

You are hilarious.

Imagine all the stuff that would be built by people who don't have a clue about what they're doing. Want to save some money? Get a airplane built by monkeys, they work for bananas.

I hazard a guess, maybe because they are certified?

Was that English?

The rocket is the way to go, they tell you what parts to delete when buying a 4 kit. But I think vans quit selling the 4. The point i was making is that there is no point installing more engine that can be used. The rocket is more than a "wee" bit different.

Airplanes have windows. I'm done. You guys can argue this without me.

Now if it was ok to install that device in a certified aircraft do you think MGL would make a point of saying that it is for experimental aircraft only, not to be installed in certified aircraft? Unless someone got a field approval for it, it is a violation waiting to be noticed. If you're lucky...

Well you have your answer including some from people that admit they don't actually have any knowledge of the regulations.

Somewhat useful is what you'll get on VAF. There's a lot of internet experts there too.

There's no point putting on a engine that makes the airplane exceed Vne. It's just a waste of money and extra weight. I only put a IO 360 on my RV 7 because I had one laying around.

Who's going to sign it off? That's the person that needs to decide what to use.

Amazing.
