Ya know... I don't know what your process is, but maybe buy / borrow a hand held 3D scanner and just go scan some wrecks. Clean up the scans, do your artist thing to the mesh, then 3D print masters that you can pull a mold from. No actual wreck purchase required.

I guess eBay would be the place to look, but I thought I'd see if there's a place to buy not working not repairable never gonna work again instruments for my desk. I'd like to pick up a 6 pack, and then anything else interesting. I'd like to intercept them just before they're thrown in the...

My pet peeve is people who post without reading the entire thread.

Nearly all of it. I bought the plane for a specific set of missions. Very little is going around the patch.

It's worse than that, for me anyway. I run ROP, and try to keep the cylinders temps <380F. Doing that in mine requires 13.5 gph. Now, I have the IO390, so maybe that's part of it, but my fuel flow has always been higher than what most people quote. This is a bit less at 10k MSL, but I usually...

Jumping in late, but... Is that even the right shape for a plane that has to efficiently as possible fly a load from point to point? Shouldn't it be more glider shaped, and if it flies slow enough, have props instead of jet looking things? Or did I not read the article correctly? (I'm not...

My dad worked at a quarry for 30+ years. I grew up playing with "dynamite wire". We had it all over the house for everything... orange and yellow insulation, single strand... I'm guessing 18g? 20g?

Hmmmm. Maybe there's some money to be made in making professional airplane ads for people.

If I can figure out how, I'll do one of those 360 VR panoramas. Here... sit in my plane. Heck, why not include a flying video or two. Some air to air, pics of it at fly ins, etc. Let the user imagine themselves using it.

Shouldn't that be: POA 10/023 POA ASTERISK ASTERISK WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE SAY NO MORE 171017000000-PERM (Note how much more readable Ron's mixed case version is. )

Disagree. Several someones are reading the code and finding the bugs. Only, they probably call them exploits, and they probably don't work for people that have your best interests in mind. Air gap, shut off wifi, bluetooth, step into the cage. Oh, wait, ultrasonic beacons are now a thing...

I'm guessing giants don't compost, it's unlikely there's a modern sewer system up there... chamber pots?

This annoyed me too, but there's usually an option to filter ads that don't have pics. There's no GOOD reason to not post a pic on a good airplane that's really for sale, so I have to assume no pic means not for sale. Pics are what got me to fly to minnesota to look at mine. IF/when I sell it...

Also, dumb teletype technology still limiting notams. I'll bet an asterisk '*' is not in the character set allowed in notam text. What it sounds like they're doing is editing the chart so that: - The 'S-ILS 27' line becomes 'S-ILS 27**' - And then adding (somewhere) a chart note: '** RVR 1800...

How much can you say about how these are flown? Stuff like: Are you trying to keep a constant airspeed / ground speed, how does height above ground change (constant, specific profile, etc), who are you talking to while you're flying the route, what about birds? / other planes, what sort of...

That's great! You're in a fighter, flying low, and your video is STILL way more steady than the average cell phone pic shot standing on a street corner.

Eh, it's not their fault, and it -is- a good suggestion. But man, was I disappointed. I'd rather not mention the name, but it was...not a good experience. And I was dumb enough to go back three years in a row. Each time it seemed to get worse. I realize alabama may not be the best place to try...

Heh. I quit using one I found on mooneyspace because of missed items, repairs I didn't ask for, etc. I'm sure that's good advice in general, but in this particular case, I switched away from a mechanic that was recommended from mooneyspace.

Sure. gimme a bit to get it scanned.

One frustrating thing from this thread, though... I've asked around for mechanics. For years. All I've discovered is where NOT to go. It's not like they're on every corner, and while, yes, you can travel to a better mechanic, rental cost of a plane to get you there and back (and the pilot, if I...
