After I get the canopy done I'll post how it fly's. The owner and the guy who did the conversion for him said it is a good handling TD except for two things: A) as there is limited prop clearance and the mains are so far forward it really likes to take off and land in a three point attitude and...

The AA1 is in good shape. It has (as I recall) a 250XL, 135A, G-340 and a Transponder just back from the shop (can't remember the brand right now). 10 since MOH by Mena Aircraft Engines. The gear mod has all the DMA speed mods/fairings. It will be getting a new canopy soon due to a crack I don't...

I've spent a week cleaning the hangar out and giving away lots of hardware and stuff I didn't really want or need...lots of stuff was simply too old or nasty to keep, other stuff was in the "Great Finds" category; NIB S 4000 DG, MX11 comm w/ yellow tag, etc. The Viking has a high time engine...

As requested (to make this a viable thread) here are some pics:

...and it came with two airplanes!o_O An old friend had decided to hang up his headsets and sell his planes and hangar but wasn't wild about going thru the hassles of selling the planes (not always easy) and then cleaning up 30 years of cra...ah...treasures (REAL PITA) and then selling the...

You'll like the mags Jay; I've installed three sets of Pmags and nary a hiccup on any of them (including an RV6 with around 300 hrs at last CI). You'll likely find you won't need to prime as much and can get a exhaust POP if you do due to a much hotter spark every 180* of rotation. The Lycoming...

Me thinks they are taking aim at Ifly's 740...basically the same form and function and a close price point. Iflys updates are much cheaper though. I just got my 740 today (but have had the 30 day free app on my phone for a while) and when they say sunlight readable they ain't kiddin'...

Today I did something I ought to be ashamed of... A friend of mine (APIA) called me and asked for help with the FWF wiring on a Bellanca Super Viking. He had replaced the engine/prop due to a nose gear collapse. We had gotten to the point of hooking up the battery and testing to make sure...

One of my Rickman favorites was "Something the Lord made". He was a damn good actor. RIP Chris

The Navworx 600 can be had with a "transmon" that is a cable sniffer. You place it around the transponder antenna cable and it looks for the 4 digit code and sets the ADSB output to the same digits. As to the Altitude Encoder; if you have the Sport SX supplying the Alt info to the transponder...

Brian; I was a member of Team Robbie in the 1990's and did most of the stuff in that video back then using a JR 10X programmable (rates and throws) radio, homemade rotor/engine governer and a JR 3000 Peizo gyro. At that time you had to actually point the heli where you wanted it and time the...

"Looking back at the video in slo-mo does anyone else see a piece of something (looks like a rod of some sort) fly away from the helo @ the :17 sec mark? It looks to go from the helo to the top left corner of the video..." Never mind; it's most likely the tip of one of the blades going...

So it has no coning stops of any kind? Looking back at the video in slo-mo does anyone else see a piece of something (looks like a rod of some sort) fly away from the helo @ the :17 sec mark? It looks to go from the helo to the top left corner of the video... Chris

Looks like he set it down on the front of the skids and maybe tried to set the back of the skids down with the cyclic instead of reducing collective. Got a mast bump and away she went... Or not. Chris

Given the current state of available information the answer here is quite simple: If you think you have the (insert type of experience here) you'll need to pass your written tests and then pass the Oral and Practical test just download the ASA, Jepp or other Q&A prep software and take the...

That's the second Bo with the LSU type paint scheme to go swimming this year! We had one go into the Red River off the end of 14 this past spring...:yes: Isn't that odd! Chris

If the mags are Eisemann LA-4's there are a lot of people that restore tractors that have/make parts for them. There is also a guy that has a repair service for them that advertises in Trade-a-Plane. Chris

Best wishes for your friends speedy recovery. I just had a friend go down this past summer but he wasn't as lucky. A real sucky feeling... Keep your chin up Tom! Chris
