When I started flying the man teaching me told me a story that happened at this airpark I was training at. He said this man owned a quicksilver style airplane. He was getting ready to take off when he came over the radio and said he had no elevator or it was stuck. The owner of the airpark told...

Your instructor was an idiot. If you have an option never go for water go for land. What a bone head instructor. Amazes me some try to instruct at all. Problem they believe they know what they are talking about. Tony

I guess what I should have said. To clean injectors you would need to pour it into the fuel. Pouring it into the carb like this does nothing but clean engine parts like valves and carbon off the head. Both not really an issue with the modern engine. Fuel injectors get dirty first from the crappy...

On my little airplane of 38 HP. I upgraded the engine to around 42 hp. What did it give me. A little more climb and the chance to spend more money on a new prop to remove the extra RPM's that came from the extra HP. But it does climb a lot better. Cruise speed may have increased about 4-5 mph...

This is not how this product is used. You do not pour it into the carb. It gets mixed with the fuel. If you have dirty injectors it will clean them. I purchased a truck and it needed an engine. I put a brand new engine in it from the dealer. The thing ran like crap. I used a can of this per tank...

Whatever happened...R.I.P.

You can stall at any speed and at any attitude. When in a stall you use only rudder to pick up a wing. Ailerons stay neutral. Always slow fluid motions. Never throw the controls around be it stick or rudder.

I have a friend who purchased a few drones off Amazon. These are GPS guided drones with on board screens built into the hand held remote. This gives data like altitude and heading ect you see all this in the recordings it makes. I have seen footage of this at over 5000'. We live at 550'. I have...

I use some 100LL in my Yamaha 660 ATV. It seems to start easier using this. Fires up as soon as you hit the button. I don't believe it turns over two times before its running. Even in cold weather. I don't fill it with 100ll just add what I sump from my airplane each time I go fly.

I received this and a few other things like this from IDOT.

Living in Sacramento and working in a metal machine shop in west sac. It would get over 140 degree's in that building during the day when it would be over 100 outside.

Back when I sanded blasted barges on the Illinois river we fried an egg on the top of a barge one day it was that hot. Cooked like it was in a skillet on a stove.

B&S many years ago did away with the choke system and went to a primer system. This was done because of regulations set forth by the EPA. They found that during start up these little engine produced a lot of emissions. They also set them to run lean. It does not take much to make these engine...

When flying an experimental or EAB, this gauge " MP " can also be used to see if you have the engine propped correctly. If you are running very low MP but RPM's are very high, you are under propped. On the other hand if you are running low RPM's and high MP you are over propped. This is a very...

It's used to know how hard one is working the engine. I like to fly with MP between 21-23. Anything over 23 and I am working the engine hard. Anything under 21 and I need to pay very close attention to carb ice. The MP gauge is the only gauge to tell you how hard you are pushing your engine. The...

This was a cake walk without any drugs. You want to go through something..Have a discogram..Now that is torture.

I have went through two of these. One was in the 80's and the other in the early 90's. The used no drugs what so ever and I was wide awake. I went right back to work that day. Drove myself to the doctor and drove back to work.

From this comment this person did not watch the video. they talk about antisieze and other things used today and why you should not use it or why this works better. But you have to watch the video to understand this.

You can not down load form 8050-2 it must be original from the FAA. They will need to go into their local FSDO to get this or maybe someone has one at the airfield. I would ask in at the FBO office. If that 172 has chrome cylinders you may be ok if has indeed ran this over the years. When I...
