    Placards

    Can you make one yourself? I did so several years ago when redoing my interior. I printed them on self-adhesive vinyl label stock.

    ugh, this panel

    I think I saw something like that in an old (1970s?) issue of the AOPA magazine. IIRC, the background is fixed and a little airplane silhouette (like that on a TC) slides up and down the slot in the center of the instrument and tilts side to side to show the attitude.

    [NA] Do you use a home warranty?

    We had a warranty included when we bought our house a year ago. We used it for one squawk (bad light fixture in one of the bedrooms, but it was a bit of a hassle getting the warranty company to approve a local contractor to fix it. We didn't renew it when it came up for renewal.

    Windows 10

    My 15 year old HP LaserJet 2100 didn't like Win10 (or vice versa). Even with the latest drivers, either the printer wouldn't work or the OS wouldn't see the printer. It was getting on in years (jammed sometimes, overfed paper at others) and was never really happy as a USB printer. I replaced it...

    Why stick the tanks after fueling

    It's a good thing that I requested that they top it off. If I had requested a set quantity for each side, we could have missed this.

    Why stick the tanks after fueling

    Inspired by the fuel thread in the Hangar Talk forum: I went out to the airport on Saturday to fill the tanks on the plane. I wasn't planning on flying that day, but I did want to fill up in case I did so some evening after the FBO closed (we don't have self serve at KBJJ). I pulled Yellowbird...

    Book Cover is Done!

    Needs a stopped prop. And some smoke and flames. Maybe parts falling off.

    Do you name your plane?

    When I bought my Cardinal, I hung out on the now defunct iPilot.com forums. Someone proposed a contest to name my plane. I got to pick the winning entry: Yellowbird. This was the first inanimate object I've owned that got a name. If I bought a plane now, however... My wife had named her Subaru...

    Also useful as a towel rack when cleaning the belly.

    Cardinal 177RG W&B?

    Here's what they did with the C187 prototype. With a bigger engine, it was even more nose-heavy. Looks like they moved the whole wing forward a few inches.

    Challenger go with throttle up.

    I was a still green A1C with the Air Force Band of The West at Lackland AFB. Some of us were in the recording studio listening to some recent takes for a jazz band album we were working on when it happened. We watched the replays on the day room TV. Shortly, we were tasked with playing the...

    Flying Nightmares

    Yup, arm/wire dreams for me too. But they never recurred after I started flying for real.

    Professional Pilot Banned From Airport

    Good news, and I'd noticed and have been wondering about the "...Amazing change of attitude".

    Some holiday baking

    I got my wife a bread machine last year for Christmas. She baked a few loaves but didn't really like how they turned out - too dense, not much flavor - and the thing sat unused in a kitchen cabinet for most of this year. On a whim, she tried some different procedures around Thanksgiving...

    Stripe or No Stripe

    This is probably the best shot I have of one of the wheel pants. Mine are the original early 70s types though, so I don't know how the design would translate to your newer ones.

    Stripe or No Stripe

    I don't remember if I've noted this before, but your Cardinal is only 55 s/n's farther down the production line from mine.

    Stripe or No Stripe

    Since you still have the original paint (or at least the original scheme), go with stripes. Since the new pants don't have the curved groove along the side, the stripes would probably look better straight.
