Somewhere this should be a sticky for O-200 owners - probably on the type club if it's not already. I've experienced the infamous engine stumble, once it was immediately following maintenance. Another time the power rolled back briefly turning base to downwind, the mechanic who'd just signed it...

My first thought was 'he's joking' but would be interesting if true.

With all the accoutrements that bringing a baby along entails, I like the 180 hp Cardinal as an option. In my recent experience shopping with a friend however, a FG Cardinal is going to be pretty banged up below about 90-100k. 120k gets you a RG 'forever' Cardinal. A hangar mate just bought a...

Years ago in my Continental O300 172 I was doing my flight review. During my runup prior to departure I pulled CH on and then pushed in back in right away. The CFI admonished me to reapply CH saying "leave it on for a minute, we want to give any ice a chance to melt". We discussed my concerns...

Right, going flight seeing pick the high wing. Like the *looks* pick the low. ;)

LOL I gotta admit that's not the way it read! I was like *only on POA* :D

Have you checked Texas Air Salvage? There's several Ns being parted out including some w/ McCauley wheels (SOLD) but I didn't check every listing. https://www.texasairsalvage.com/Aircraft_list.php

Could someone realistically be a commercial pilot and expect to throw meat bombs on the regular w/o an instrument ticket? They go a lot higher than me schlepping along at 3500 MSL and need to be able to circle up through cloud don't they?

Similarly, I give the game of golf a lot of credit for the direction my life took - it's why I learned to fly instead.

Fortunately I made a pit stop before leaving the stadium as you're right, it's a 1.8 mile walk thru campus. It was also pretty chilly that day so I welcomed the physical activity. I enjoy seeing other college campuses, especially ones as nice as Purdue. I'd like to do an Indiana game next...

I started noticing that some of the smaller schools' stadiums have lots of open seats. Hmmm says I. So one morning a couple years ago a friend & I flew to Lafayette for a Buckeyes/Boilermakers game. We got a ride from the FBO and dropped off in front of the stadium (which earned the student a...

I have an (empty) bottle of Aviation Gin on a shelf in my hangar because the bottle looks cool and it says "Aviation" on it. I haven't the faintest idea how the bottle got that way though. As for the Xmas tree taste, I love it - Tanqueray for instance. If you do too, I strongly recommend...

Very different outcomes between two recent crashes, this one and the Seneca. If you haven't seen the vid of the Seneca that lands on the street and both occupants survive check it out in the thread below. The last seconds are in stark contrast to the Comanche's and a solemn reminder to keep...

In the surveillance video, the right wings strikes a car or other object and there's a cloud of what looks like fuel spray, kind of hard to tell here. Anyone else see this?

Yep, I'm going to buy it myself if I can't sell it for a reasonable price. You can daisy chain them for longer life.

Updated price: asking $225 including shipping in the lower 48, actual shipping cost elsewhere.

I won a gift certificate for $ off a $$$ Cessna Cable Kit. They made it just the right size and we installed it 2 annuals ago. Very nice workmanship. How can you go wrong when their website says buying their kit: Helps assure confidence in passengers Reduces the personal frustration and...

I've flown behind mine for around 14 years now and lean rigorously. I've had zero issues with carb ice or sticking valves. Mine consumes oil, more as of late, we haven't figured out exactly where yet. The old pushrods with the swedged ends and no springs are notorious for leaking, so if I...

See the fan blades? It's obviously a crotch-kooler.

LOL, yep. I have a few friends that have done same. Not all Garmin products required a dealer install. I have heard of the older ELTs causing some issues if mounted to close to one of those.
