I asked this very question to the manufacturer of Aeroglaze and Polyglide several years ago. They said there is no point to adding Polyglide over Aeroglaze. They market Polyglide to those that wet wash.

1) You want to look up “lugging” the engine. I went through this question during my first few years of aircraft ownership. You can run the engine at whatever power settings is allowed by the POH, including the higher MP/lower RPM combination, all things being equal. However, one thing I notice...

I’ve been using ForeFlight for 2 years for both VFR and IFR. Before that, I had been using FlyQ since 2012 (with 5 year flying hiatus in there). I have similar total time in both apps. As with most things, each product has its own strengths and weaknesses, and I don’t think either one is the...

Much of the value in writing essays is that it forces one to think, read, and think some more before putting pen to paper or taking some other action. Has this been written about before? What has been argued? Is there new evidence that challenges past ideas? What is the new evidence? How is...

The magneto broke because it broke. You didn’t do anything wrong.

If it is going to be more than 4 months since the last oil change by the time you get back, I’d err on the side of changing it sooner rather than later.

Albert Whitted in St. Petersburg, Florida (KSPG) The airport is adjacent to the water making for a beautiful approach and departure. There’s a pretty good restaurant on the 2nd floor of the FBO, and there are plenty of nicer restaurants and great gelato if you’re willing to walk 10 minutes north.

And while we are mentioning that area, shout out to JB Engines in Sebring! He has with pleasure answered questions/concerns 4 years post overhaul.

I had never tried to record audio on the Max. Apparently, this is not supported by GoPro because any wires will result in stitching artifacts. The Max can still be useful for the OP depending on what he wants to debrief. I would advise against using any camera system if setting up the angles and...

If you’re going to do it, I recommend a GoPro MAX mounted on the ceiling above and just behind the pilot/copilot head. The 360 files are truly 360, and using the GoPro Quik app you can pan right/left/up/down to examine your sight picture and the right half of your panel (can see attitude...

I’ve had a good experience with Endeavor Flight training at KOPF

Look up the Afterburn podcast. Plenty of conversations between fighter pilots regarding career, flying, safety, and even one post-accident analysis that I’ve come across so far. The one about the fatal F-16 crash last year was very insightful regarding changes in training (not as much of it due...

Maybe your best video because the message is so simple yet so close to the hearts of GA pilots

There is pectus and there is pectus. How likely it is limiting you is related to the deformity. I have a mild deformity myself and have never felt limited when playing sports . If you had a significant pectus deformity, I would have expected that your pediatrician would have recognized it...

The only potential caveat was that it wasn’t the XLS version or whatever the premium model acronym is. It was privately owned. The broker was using it to transport me from my eventual home airport to the airport where the Dakota I would eventually buy was parked. It was a noisy ride. I remember...

From one Dakota pilot to another, a vote against the Diamond. The fit and finish on the one I flew left much to be desired. It felt like I was flying a toy compared to the Piper which is not known for fit and finish like a Beechcraft.

1979 Piper Dakota..We bought her in 2017. Our favorite trip so far was from Ft. Lauderdale to Charlotte non-stop. Love this bird.

Maybe you should. A very small percent of the population will connect with the Laplace transformation on your YouTube page banner. I appreciate it because I majored in engineering 15 years ago, but to most people that’s just going to go right over their heads. So, you might attract people like...

It’s great that everyone asked the questions above, because I was unable to finish a response that I started last night. The one thing that I have to add is regarding the 3mm threshold. This is based on very limited data (and I opine that the originator of this threshold overstated the strength...
