Jessie needs to be more specific when he prays for a BJ I guess...:eek: Hope everyone stays safe. Chris

I ordered retreads from Aircraft Spruce in March. When I got them (15-6.00x6) I noticed right away they were NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE SAME SIZE! One carcass was Goodyear one was Condor. Side by side the GY tire was a full 3/4" taller than the Condor. The crown of the GY was in the center, the...

Here's the list to convert to either self-contained LED ($$$$) or self contained strobe/power supply ($$$). Aeroflash also makes a nice replacement flasher/strobe for you bird. http://www.whelen.com/pb/Aviation/System%20Requirements/Cessna.pdf Hope this helps...

The KT-76 uses a Cavity Tube that has both a heater (to bring it up to proper operation temps quickly) and a heat sink (to keep it at the proper temp during ops). If the heating element is out, mis-adjusted or has come loose from the CT hull the transponder will not work until the power going...

Radiator Hose?:goofy:

Yep. I'm in the process of putting a lift in my hangar to make jobs like this a wee bit easier... Chris

My wife's 07Z and my 09Z are driven rain or shine! Her's is stock with a tune, mine is worked to 600RWHP. Mine goes thru lot's of gas, rear tires and an occasional clutch:yikes:. We also come out to play at the local dragstrip... And while I'm over 50 I still have my hair!:hairraise:

Going to look at a J5 Cub tomorrow Tomorrow I'm off on a quest to buy a low-n-slow to play with. I found a nice 1941 J5A (in a stylish Cub Yellow) with a freshly overhauled C-75 almost 400 miles from me. I'm flying over tomorrow morning; If the inspection goes well I'll do the money swappin'...

I still use my 2000C and believe it or not it STILL works fine for back-up nav. I carry sectionals to cross check but in 3 years the lakes, rivers and towns haven't moved that much so the 600 is a fine (if not current) GPS. Chris

Yea it was... The news outlets used it in all their promos for a week. We, his friends, used that fact to blow him more crap...:goofy: Where do you know Crash from? Chris

I put my "Long Softie" bail-out rig in a plastic under-the-bed type container with a snap on lid when not in use. Was less than $10.00 at Target. The box itself stays in my pilot cave in my hanger (heat/AC). Chris

Hi Dan; I have seen a couple of nice tint jobs done on airplanes but none of them looked good after a year or so (and you're correct; getting the adhesive off is a be-atch). The biggest problem is the plexi expands and contracts more than glass does and thus allows the tint film to strech and...

I did the "shred-on-the-ceiling-fan" to several people today. Between that and pulling lots of door hindge pins out I'm good for this year! Chris

I just did a bit of work on an R-66. The smell of Leather and Jet A was quite intoxicating... If I had a spare 800K I could go for it!:hairraise: Chris

Dale, Another thing that can get pricey quick is the main gear oleos...they seep a bit and if ever allowed to run dry they tear themselves up pretty quick. There are a couple of places that will re-build 'em but they want Beechcraft type coinage to do so...:yikes: I'm thinking of finding a 7AC...

And people used to complain about Narco's business model...:mad2:

I wouldn't pull that trailer down the road 'till you fix that there tire...the one on the right looks all swoll up! :mad2: Chris
