Temp is right where it should be, however, if the oil pressure is truly that low at cruise, it needs to be adjusted. It should idle around 25, and cruise around 50. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On every Lycoming, Continental, Garret, and Pratt & Whitney engine that I fly, the oil temp runs higher when it is hot out. At air temps of 85-95f, it is normal for the oil to run warmer than it would, for example, at 65-75f. If you don't have a baseline from past experience flying in those...

Tow gliders, one of the few things you can get paid to do as a PPL. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but I know guys with only a PPL that do this and get paid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Warning: Not claiming to be any kind of expert, had to learn alot of things the hard way, possibly some of my experience is worth sharing. I fly with guys that have over 20,000 hours TW, which makes me but a lowely greenhorn at just over 5000TW. Don't overthink it! The best thing you can do to...

If you were in control of the aircraft, PIC, anything that went wrong was your fault. If you were PIC, and not in control of the aircraft, then it was a complete failure. Blaming ATC, is a clear indicator that you need better training IMO. Doesn't matter what anyone else does, if you are PIC...

Had a similar issue, was a bad ground, airframe to battery. Simple fix that was continuously overlooked, until a buddy said just replace the ground and see what happens, problem free for last 500 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your budget allows for a nice early model Cessna 180, hard to beat for your all around mission. If you think flyin a 172 is fun, you'll grin ear to ear in a 180 [emoji16] A stock 0-470 will cruise at 135 knots. A Pponked or bigger engine will get another 5-10 knots. Thats with 8.50's on the...

Deal with your problems face-to-face like a grown ass man, being a rat is beyond pathetic! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rushing into anything in aviation, is a fools errand. Take your time, educate yourself as much as possible, and surround yourself with experienced aviators who are not afraid to call you out on your BS, at least that's what I do. There is no substitute for direct experience, but the next best...

Eventually you are going to want to close the doors, what??? You need better headsets man. Got around 1000 hours in PA-18, lots of 3-4 hour XCs, that door is always open, one of the best parts. Ok, if its below 50 degrees I close the bottom half [emoji12] As for the J3, I did look pretty hard...

Forget the numbers, but if you measure the thickness of the gear legs, you can find out if you've got 180 or 185 gear. The 185's is a little thicker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No real time in 182's, but thousands in 180s, got a little time in Vikings too. For your stated mission, I vote 182. The Viking is a very cool airplane, but the cargo room is nowhere near the 182s w/ extended baggage. I recommend getting the flat extended baggage, thats what I've got in the 180...

Ive said many times that Okies are all a little nuts, and I standby it! However, some of their women are really beautiful, for the most part....... [emoji16] Flying Ag is not for everyone, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On the Cub, VG's made a huge difference, surprised to hear that Stewartb didn't get the same improvement we did! On spray planes, it is night and day. Only reason haven't put them on the wagon, is I don't wanna clean around them, polished aluminum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As a freshly minted ppl, was waiting to take off at a grass strip, when one of these came wallering in and hit one of the white painted tires marking the threshold. They crow hopped right and left a few times, pacing the marker tire they sent airborne, eventually parking half way up a mesquite...
