    What's your Sunday morning rountine?

    Every morning has to start with two cups of Chock full O' Nuts coffee. Then Wx, POA, HVAC-Talk and Beesource.

    Today's flight. Less than stellar.

    Many of us get rusty in the winter. I found just getting out there and practicing maneuvers and tng's works wonders.

    20% Wall Tax

    We really should have been more diversified. Our economy has mainly depended on coal, boilernaking, pipefitting, healthcare and teachers for years. Many are getting training in fields such as mine(HVAC), that are not in high demand anymore, and never had similar pay/benefits. Schools don't know...

    If I buy an ipad, how long before it becomes obsolete?

    After 5 yrs on my 3, it is getting "slow and clunky". I have gotten a lot of use out of it.

    20% Wall Tax

    No, not all of them, but some would be nice. We CAN teach old dogs new tricks. If our people learned the skills to make steel and mine coal, surely we can teach them to make specialty plastics and solar panels(Just an example). I love our area of the country here in OH, WV, KY, but it has been a...

    20% Wall Tax

    The same bs happened at our local steel plant of 5500 workers. Along with most of our coal jobs we lost all of those steel jobs except for 120 at present. Now you know one of many reasons why we voted for Trump.

    Plane crash video in Australia

    They started getting a strong tailwind about the time they started loading the wing. The pilot appeared to have full right aileron input, neutral rudder and neutral elevator just before impacting the water. I enjoy practicing slow flight and stalls, that rudder can do amazing things when one...

    LOP

    Good articles above. I picked 4 little balls of lead out of 4 bottom plugs. Compression test 78-79/80. I lean way out for ground operations. I lean every 1000' or so during my climb to maintain my 1250 F takeoff mixture. When leaned in flight, I am seeing 15-16 nm/gal. Not too bad for the...

    LOP

    I don't have balanced injectors, but they were close enough for me on my factory new IO-540. I run 30-40 LOP at 65% power or less. I can run more than that with $1200 worth of fine wire plugs. If one has balanced injectors, you may see 75-100 LOP, and still run smooth. It all depends on how much...

    Stupid things we have seen pilots do

    Working near battery cables, came out slinging a bright, glowing wedding band. It burnt to the bone and would not come off. As an A&P and now HVAC guy, I have not worn any jewelry since day 2 in 27 yrs.

    Re-using drained oil and filter- log book question

    But a new AOA from Maui Wowie in the panel will, even if he forgets to tighten and safety the used filter. Always fly the blue donut as far into the crash as possible.

    I will pay your TAX and SHIPPING if you order an AoA by...

    What about free installation, calibration and $1300 of blue donut training?

    Boiled peanuts

    We grow the Virginia variety in our Ky garden also. Yummy. We spice the salt water up a bit.

    Flight Review

    At similar hours. I always ask for some for some hood work...unusual attitudes, 180's, turn to specific headings, climbs and descents.

    Cessna 210 Crash - Payson, AZ - 4 Dead

    Lack of weather knowledge and poor ADM before and in-flight does not help. Much of that is not taught as in-depth as it should be in PP training. Many don't take the time to learn on their own. Then the ego gets some of us too. Like Fearless Tower, we have to know when to make that 180 (twice so...

    Rudder Problem

    I can safely fly and land without ailerons(as long as I am landing without a xw), rudder not so much.
