Again Idle air bleed screw and Idle set screws are to different screws. One sets the idle RPM speed and one sets the air fuel mixture when at idle. You never ever put anything on the idle air bleed screw..NEVER

You are talking about an Idle air bleed screw. We are talking about a throttle set screw. This holds the throttle plate open to adjust how fast an engine runs. Your Idle air bleed screw adjust the mixture of air to fuel when idling. These are two different screws. Tony

Sitting at a fuel pump on the ramp getting ready for flight you are fair game. Sitting in front of a hangar door not so much. Just because an airplane sits in front of a hangar door does not mean it is ready for flight or airworthy in anyway. Sitting at the pumps with luggage and passengers...

If this was my airplane and it was only the idle set screw that controls how much idle RPM one has, this would have blue thread lock put on it. The blue thread lock allows for whatever it is used on to be removed. The red you will need heat to remove whatever this was applied to. As to the...

Kinda like the sound of that 1/2 vw. One time after I landed here came a pickup truck. The man gets out and said he was fishing on the lake and heard me fly over. he had to come check out my airplane. He thought it had a small radial on it. When he found it was a 1/2 vw he was amazed and...

I had an at rest HB of 18 BPM. Up walking my heart rate would get up to 30 BPM. They installed a pacemaker a little over a year ago and set it to 60 BPM when at rest. I feel so much better today.

Kinda crazy but I like the noise a prop makes.

Most of what you hear is prop noise..Really..

I don't believe crop duster or those spraying chemtrails are the issue. Its the 172 and others who fly over all the time. I know if my airplane had up facing exhaust tips you would hear nothing on the ground from my airplane. It would be whisper in the air. Its not the prop you hear on my...

The airpark that I live had no homes on each end. 20 years after this airpark is here some dude purchased the land on the end of the East end across the street. he then starts complaining that there is an airpark and airplanes must fly over his house to land. This man still ten years later is a...

I spoke with the airpark owner one day about his airpark I live at. He told me when they went to build this airstrip he wanted an N-S strip. The company who was doing this work explained to him if one of those home owners complain your strip will be scrapped. They explained he would be better...

You will be surprised how many times I run outside to be asked, what are you doing. I say, don't you hear the airplane. I get a big..O. That again type of answer. I am like a little kid looking for Santa also when I hear an airplane or helicopter for that matter. if it flies in the air, to me...

One day I did this to practice something like this in case I had no clue as to the wind direction or speed. I used my GPS. I watched Ground speed. I flew north, then south, then east and west. I watched not only ground speed but took my feet off the pedals. I let the airplane feel the wind. I...

I love the cubs..saying that I owned a 65 hp airplane that cruised in level flight at 130 mph. One time I had her to 160 mph. It's not the 65hp holding the cub back, it's the design of the cub that holds the cub back. It's not suppose to be a speed machine. Not build as one. IMHO. Tony

After this happened to my CD's. I will never store anything digital and only digital. A copy will be made on hard paper and put away. I have some books from the 1800. I bet that most of the data stored on a digital platform will not be around in 30 years. Think thumb drives, cd's, ect..

I lost three cd's. Not sure what happened to these three. They are CD-R and around 8 years old. I made these or copied these around 8 years ago I made a total of 5. Three had important things like family pics and such and two had cars and trucks on it and things out in my shop. The one's with...

That is what I did. But no one around to hear it. I fly single seat or did. What I find amusing or amazing. Folks "Men/woman" who want to control an airplane and airplanes can stall and spin, need to be told to learn how not only to recognize an onset of a stall/spin but to recover from a...

For sale we have my Avenger V. The engine has around 140 hrs on it. If I knew how to upload pics I would but don't so won't. $5000.00 bucks and will come with a current condition inspection. $4500.00 bucks I keep the traffic alert system and you do the condition inspection. Times will be...

I burned some very important things like my grand kids baby pics and such onto a CD. About a month ago I wanted to view some of this stuff. I stuck the CD in and nothing. I can not get this CD to work. I took this CD in to a company who said they could retrieve these pics and files for me. I get...
