Harrison Ford is a pilot. And a friend to many, many maintenance shops... George Peppard learned to fly for the movie "The Blue Max". Accumulated 200+hours over a few months. Actually flew the Pfalz DIII in some movie scenes. Tony Franciosa was a pilot and a good friend and flying buddy of the...

I had my BSV since 2016. I loved everything about it except the elevator... While the ailerons are light and powerful the elevator is heavy and, when landing needs to be trimmed nose up (a lot) or force required to rotate the nose up is really high! Also, you must carry power (POH says 15") and...

I haven't seen anything about the proposed EPA/United Nations proposal regulating aircraft emissions... As input is also coming from the nutballs at Friends of the Earth I expect proposals about small aircraft as well as jets. Chris

About 5 years ago we had two mis fueling events within anmonth of each other. First was a P-51 out of Arkansas. The pilot caught the mistake during his pre flight the next day...draining and flushing the tanks was a real pita... The second one was worse, a Twin Commander with two new engines...

What is this "snow" you speak of? Chris

Cool video. Imagine the guy in the truck hearing on the radio "we have a problem and need to return"... Chris

Change the seal. If it's leaking it's either cut or loose. Either way if it comes out or apart it will puke out all your oil in short order... Then you'll be a glider towing a glider...not really fair to the folks on the other end of the line. Chris

If you'd like to see what a lomcevak looked like prior to the new super monoplanes with the "physics off" switch on the instrument panel search out Art Scholl videos on u tube...(the 1984el Toro vid is best) he would do really pretty ones that were fairly rare at shows. Chris

To my friends in Britain, in person or in spirit; have a Great Day! Hiperbiper the POM

I bought it...I'm afraid I lack the time, temperament and talent to build from almost scratch. 7HT was sold to an individual and built by the Sorrells in exchange for the use of the plane for factory demos. One of the pictures on the old Sorrell website was of Mark (with parachute) in the plane...

Jim that is one Beautiful aeroplane! You just need more junk...uh...patina in your hangar. Hiperbiper

In addition to my above post I'd like to state that any good mechanic with a working knowledge of tube and fabric construction as well as a knowledge of wood in aircraft structures can work on and inspect Bellanca aircraft. The is not to demean the true experts in these aircraft (the Big Four)...

Second Dave Pasquale. He can put you in touch with someone local to you... Love the Super Viking. Hiperbiper

Kevin, After re reading what I wrote I think I was a bit harsh replying to your comment. Sorry, no malice intended...I just have a sore spot about stuff like this because what happened to John and his brainchild has happened to me, albeit mine was in the field of R/C helicopters in the late...

You come up with a better mousetrap and put it up for sale... Then you get creamed by everyone because you're charging too much for "something I can make for $25.00". So you say screw it and give up. It was a great kit, easy to use and, as you say, very accurate. Simply a godsend for timing...

Thanks Luvflyin. Hiperbiper

Look on u tube for Nina Conti. There's a monkey... Hiperbiper (who can't hook a video to here on my phone...:( )

7th in line??? It could happen...anybody remember "King Ralph" opening scene??? Love that movie. Big fan of Peter O'Toole. Hiperbiper (not a big fan of "the Brit and the twit")

Have any of you donated to the Go Fund Me account started at LSU to buy a new Tiger Head for the Clemson Tigers mascot? Evidently press photos of the two mascots side by side showed Mike the Tiger (LSU) looking clean, fluffy and well groomed while his Clemson counterpart looked like he'd just...
