EAA cancelled my SportAir TIG workshop in April. I wish they would have pre-screened the eleven other attendees and went forward with it. It’s not like we’re all touchy feely there.

Or they’ll leave once the food is gone. I took that approach when I had to live in Georgia. I figured I couldn’t possibly remove 12-years worth of food filth in my vehicle. Otherwise I’ve had good luck with liquid Terro which is just Borax in liquid a suspension.

Wow now the CN students need to head back to the land of the Wuhan. That’s terrible indeed! I wonder how many will “miss” their flights home.

Well I guess the social security money will be around for a few more decades after the boomers are purged by the Wuhan Plague...

Hit some power lines and the subrogation could easily hit seven figures.

You need to seek a specialist that handles these matters. Google it and you’ll find A&P/IA’s that specialize in these conversions. Also, my 2007 vintage E-LSA is able to do night IFR if so equipped per the Operating Limitations for this specific aircraft:

How does a max speed of 139 KTAS at 8500ft sound (160MPH)? The MTOW of 1320 is definitely a bummer... For a while I was perplexed why someone would buy a “LSA” but now I see why. Great $100 hamburger modern flying machines. The E-LSA I just bought is just for puttsing around the local area. I’m...

E-LSA is the way to go. After taking a 16-hour Light Sport Repairman Inspection Rating class you are allowed to perform the annual condition inspection on any E-LSA you have an ownership interest of (after applying at the FSDO for the Cert). You won’t get a 4hr range but at least you have more...

I'm not dragging this thing across the field, through the woods, across the Gobi, and halfway across Africa. We're talking like 20 ft? Here is a video:

Hardly. 2.25lb per foot. Probably 60lb all in.

The HF style go jacks are too big for the tires on this. Yes I’ll be able to pull the plane onto it.

I decided to get 1.5" 11 gauge (1/8") square stock as my local supplier has it in stock. Of course I jawjacked for two hours at the FBO and wasn't able to get to the supplier before they closed. I did buy five 8" pneumatic casters from Menards for $13. They are rated for 220 lbs each.

I’m looking to build one and I’d like to know what size tube was used. I found some 8” pneumatic caster wheels at Menards for $13/ea. I like how I can store my Mooney and high-wing LSA in the same hangar with the LSA squeezed in sideways. Do you think 1” square would hold up 600lbs if I assemble...

“XYZ traffic you have a Mooney ten miles West descending thru 4500 inbound for Runway X, XYZ”. “XZY traffic Mooney is three miles West entering downwind for Runway X, XYZ” I was taught to keep it stupid-simple and I’ll use some numbers if there is another Mooney on the air.

Here is the important meat & potatoes: Discussion The FAA learned of three SAP crankshaft assembly failures that took place on March 6, 2017, August 3, 2017, and October 31, 2018, that resulted in the loss of engine power and immediate or emergency landings. Since the FAA received these...

I have a iPhone 7 and the lightning adapter/splitter does not allow communication via a headset. It’s listen only (no mic function). I can’t wait to dump my Apple phone. Such a dreadful series of devices that foreflight makes me own.

I’ve been to my hangar almost every single day off work. The wife even approved the purchase of a plow truck last fall. The problem was that on the hottest and sunniest few days in a row of the entire winter I had to travel to Louisville for LSRI-A training and coincidently pickup a LSA on the...

Eight years in the UP. I’ve seen snow a few times. My driveway pile is up to the roof...

Problem is that I’ve been at work today and the last two days = probably worse conditions. The good news is that the the 3” wide hammer bit should be in tomorrow. Maybe I can wait for it at the airport when it’s delivered by Amerifright.

Ahhhh who even has a phone that has a headphone jack anymore? Note that the photo shows some sort of strange communication device similar to what I used two decades ago.
