I would NEVER do that on a 66G model 172!

When that stuff hit my head for my "oscopy" it felt like a millions stars lit off - very peculiar sensation. Then I was GONE. If I had some horrible terminal disease that would not be a bad way to escape the worst of it.

Lower risk of sunburn, smudgy looking skies, but great sunsets & sunrises. Sounds like a perfect reason to fly. That view from the space station is amazing.

I saw this plane also and thought it looked good. An O470 would meet my needs regardless, so if I could get 30k for my 172, buy this airframe for 45k and put 50k into the motor, all other things checking out OK, I've got a 0 SMOH 182 for $65k net? That doesn't sound bad.

Falling Waters get's my vote as maybe the most scenic destination, while my wife proclaimed Port Clinton's onion rings the best ever. By the way, there is a small museum there whose curator is a bit of a Hogan's Heroes buff. Sargent Shultz's top coat (light blue) was there as was one of Colonel...

Mothballs in the cowl absolutely work. I used to have an open T in farm country so I've had the opportunity to experiment. Do like @Dan Thomas does and you don't need to worry about cowl plugs.

I nominate myself to be the POA Chrome site administrator. "As a Chrome Enterprise administrator, you can blacklist and whitelist URLs so that users can only visit certain websites. Restricting users’ internet access can increase productivity and protect your organization from viruses and...

Hi Michael, A couple of observations: when I open the home page, it says "Multi-targeted aircraft market". Try as I might, I can't figure out why you chose to lead off with that phrase. It sounds like something that should be in your mission statement, not your marketing and certainly not...

Dolphins don't have shells for a 'flipper walk' - do they?

Agreed and I don't know if increased RPM would change that or not? I've not experimented with things entering the prop arc, but I've seen the aftermath in photos and accident reports.

On another semi-related note. In that drone strike video above (post #69), it was interesting that the larger of the two drones impacted the right horizontal stab of the Piper after entering the prop arc on the left. Beyond that, the way he grabs that prop and moves it back and forth...

Pretty sure that's GDPR, coming to a country near you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation , also the CCPA. Expect more of same.

Def looks like a spar rivet! ;)

I flew Utah and Arizona back in September, 2018 (also a great time to fly). It was clear and a million for much of the week and a half we spent getting there, flying around and back home. We landed at Monument Valley and Marble Canyon but you guys took it next level. I was unable to locate some...

That would be so fun to do, looks like a blast. Is that brown baseball-sized orb right below the RELEASE placard the release handle? How does that work?

The brackets they attach to hopefully made for a simpler/faster installation. I think mine are attached to the FW, but would love to replace the old solenoids, esp since I have all new Bogerts in there. Would welcome pics of the insides on the olds ones, esp. the starter if you find anything...

That's my point. If it's simple, txt works great. But if you've taken the network down inadvertently and my phone system isn't picking up calls, pick up the phone already - we need to talk about it! <---happened today

Here's a suggested entry: Trying to conduct meaningful conversations via text message - all that pecking wears out my fingertips. SMS is good for secure access codes and lols. Not serious business.

Those rubber hoses get HARD over time and are a PITA to remove. I found the right wing side was leaking after doing some spins. Stained my headliner! These posts remind me how much time and effort I've put into keeping her airworthy. The list of things to check is endless it seems, good luck...

@Dan Thomas, good post. Every Cessna owner should turn their front seats upside down and look at the rollers. You might be amazed at how worn they are. In my G model the rollers take about 3 minutes each x 4 rollers per seat. The kit is relatively expensive, but it's a simple fix and you...
