Well, this FAA crap just hit the fan here in Shreveport; We were told by the Shreveport Airport Authority that (among other things) all the new ground leases will have an end date at which time the hangars we bought,paid for, purchased and maintain will become property of the City of Shreveport...

I've spent the last few weeks helping the owner get his new airshow mount ready for FAA inspection. It's taken Jeremy 5 years to put this bird together. He got it back from the paint shop in Florida in July. Quite an upgrade from his Skybolt... We intend on firing the motor (Monte Barrett...

The one that is "down" did a Chinese Three Point a week ago...wing tip, prop tip and a wheel. Next day a Maule did the same thing... I'm waiting for the third one to take place before I fly again. Chris

While I know nothing of the regulations in Estonia if the plane is a certified bird a US company named McFarland makes a pma/faa approved vernier mixture replacement cable for the S2A and B. Chris

Under $2000.00 and uses your current transponder. Only 978 mhz as of now and no mention of wifi connection... I wonder if the faa will let navworx off the mat now...:O Chris

No coffee can needed, tune handheld off freq around 122.5 to 123.5...drive around the airport. When you pick up the elt on 123.5 you're around close... We had an elt sounding at dtn a few weeks ago, CAP guy pinpointed it to two different hangars on the east side of 14. I found it with my...

Hi Cooter, Rental airplanes are pretty limited...Tubreaux (too-bro) Aviation has C172's at dtn. Nothing at all at shv. Parking on the dtn ramp(s) are free, a hangar space will cost around $200.00 per month. PM me if you need more info... Chris in Shreveport

1000 psi?. WOW...I bet that motor is a bi**h to hand prop...

Hey Mouse; Did you ever finish the Mitchell B-10? While I have the Hiperbipe myself I am privileged to work on and do the CI's on an RV6, RV9, RV10, helping on an RV-14 build. In the non RV camp I work an Velocity XLRG and a Glasair II. Whew! Just to keep myself reminded of WHY I like the...

Also find out if the 520K has a non-VAR (stock old crank). If so there is an AD that turns the crank into an expensive doorstop. Can't reuse it at overhaul. AD is 97-26-17 pushing off of Continental Critical Service Bulletin CSB96-8. Chris

The problem with "built to ASTM" standards is the mfg. gets to tell you how to maintain "their" part... Case in point: every 5 years Flight Design says you have to remove and replace all hoses fwf. No Iran, no I''ve only flown it 150 hours, nothing. They play cya, you pay. The part 23 re write...

Got 10 or so hours in one...Slower than a 152 with the same lycoming 235l2c. I didn't care for the way the plane felt in the flare and rotating on take off which I attributed to the short span/thick airfoil stabilator. The interior is Spartan and looks less "robust" than comparable aircraft. It...

Given my first look at the Part 23 re-write AOPA is crowing about that does NOTHING for the old GA fleet (it's original stated purpose) I stand by my decision of years ago; AOPA gives lip service to Part 91 ops and thats all... Chris

"lectricity is FUN...!

I turned on a Redhead once. She never worked again. How'd yours work out? Chris

Bill; Though I didn't know Duane I was friends with Marion until he passed away. I never did get him into the Hiperbipe (Charlene had put a moratorium on flying in homebuilts!) he was always great to be around, ask advise of and hangar talk with. He even got me hooked on Diet Dr. Pepper... A few...

Season 3 Episode 1 "Two" With young Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery. Also like The Last Flight" Season 1 Episode 16.

The question about GPS receiver antennas deals more about footprint standing/space. The ADS-B fun begins when you have a transponder antenna and the ADS-B antenna and not enough real estate to properly separate 'em...o_O

Weilke and Shane; If you want more info on the AA1 let me know...I can't figure out how to contact members privately here anymore...
