Reiff hasn't let me down yet, but admittedly always in a hanger with cowl plugs and blanket. 12 hours at 20 deg f or less, and oil and heads are all in the green (no JPI). Have the turbo xp. There are fuses built into the wiring. As Stewartb said, test by touch, then check the fuse if cold...

As many have stated, it is something that has been discussed for years (decades).Personally, I’ve always flown like it can cause issues. Being turbo’d, not sure if it’s helped, but I’m always managing the power, RPM, and airspeed on decent while watching temps. One of those things like - does it...

Nice shots!

Flying home Friday afternoon, on decent, something caught my eye, 2 o'clock, same altitude, 2700 ft. Thought to myself, wow there's a bird at this altitude? Kept looking, waiting for it to move its wings or dive. Nothing. Dead level, and stayed in my 2 o'clock. As I got closer, it passed by my...

We're all focused on complexity, but if you had to guess which is 'harder' to fly .... Arrow or J-3, which would you say?

I say - go for it! Flew different variety when I was primary then instriment training. J-3,152,172,172RG,C210. Aviation is only as dead as we want it to be, as far as getting as much dual time in as many a/c's. Funny thing, miss the J-3 as much as the 210...

Personal minimums should be for flight planning... WX changes, sometimes going against forecasts (duh..o_O), always, always stay profecient to fly the approached to published minimums.

... says for experimental use only?

Owned for about 20 years... couldn't imagine renting for that period of time and have nothing but pictures and memory to show for it. You have to answer, how long will I be flying and will investment cost to rent out weigh cost of purchase. Bottom line.

^^this down low for me^^

Have friends in Dothan. Gas stations are reportedly rationing near Dothan, $20 limit in some areas. Traffic is said to be backed up on west side bypass (US 231). Anyone traveling north to Montgomery/Birmingham may want to consider driving further west on I-10 to US 331 North, to avoid running...

185 mph SUSTAINED winds reported near the eye. Unimaginable.

...always good to hear from the other side of the cow pasture, a.k.a. the 'barners'...

c'mon man...

Just raised to CAT 5... not going to be good where ever it hits.

It's been several years, but TCL would have all ramps full, grass along taxiways somewhat full by Both FBOs, and I always came in IFR just to have some help with traffic and spacing (towerd field). But even with all that, you could still get a free shuttle to the stadium and back. Those days are...

FWIW, the avionics shop at my drome said the 82 is not on the approved list for the rebate program... and also mentioned that not half of the appropriated rebate dollars have been let. I didn't realize that this was an extension year... that said, good chance it would roll another year since...

Sometimes they are about $10 per cs cheaper, with shipping included. Been a while since I used them, so have no recent experience to share. http://oilstore.stores.yahoo.net/index.html
