    How cold when you do not preheat engine

    45 or below and I plug it in, 35 and below I pull the sunbeam ceramic out for the cockpit 30 min before departure. That last step is as much for me as it is for the gyros ...

    Maule verses Maule... what would you pick if you were me?

    When I first started looking to buy, I visted Moultrie and got the tour from BD's son (can't remember his first name). What an experience. After looking hard at what was then the introduction of the nose wheel, they freely admitted it was all marketing to get sales numbers up. At the time...

    Oil Consumption

    About a qt every 15 hrs if you don't fill past 7qts, changing oil every 30, the TSIO360 seems to like being at the 6 qt level and will stay there for about 12 - 15 hrs.

    Aircraft crash (fatal) KRNO. Wake turbulence.

    Cedar Key, FL (KCDK)

    It's been years, the runway looks in great shape compared to the loose gravel of years ago. Flew in with the fam for lunch, didn't tell my wife about the 'carrier style landing' with water on both ends... wish I had a camera to capture her look on back taxi, priceless ...

    Crash in Carrollton GA 2 airplanes down, 3 dead.

    Just seems too much has changed through the years, where some have either forgotten basic stick and rudder flying or didn't grow up on a non-towered field. I'm on the radio listening about 10mi out, and beginning my announcement of intentions inbound giving distance, altitiude and...

    Thank G-d Bryon is OK!

    Bryon, glad to hear that good training hit "pay dirt"! Excellent example of what proficiency delivers. One comment from a single engine owner, looking at the Aztruck, one could imagine if this happened with all seats filled & fully loaded (on a summer evening). WOW, twins are a different...

    The Chemo has started

    Have seen just in the past 6 months my Father and now a co-worker go through the chemo process. Each type of treatment, and each individual respond differently. What is so amazing, is watching how positive everyone has been through out the process. Amazing too is today's technology in cure...
