What did the inside of the spinner look like? Every now and again the grease zerk "ball" will get stuck and not seal well. This will often cause the cap to open, and will also leave a pool of grease on the interior of the spinner directly above the zerk. If you don't have that, it's probably not...

Does anyone here have one? There were several versions, but I don't know which ones go with what aircraft. I know they were used on Aztecs, various Senecas, and various Aerostars. If anyone has oneof these, and know what systm you have (the "computer" part number, if you could tell me what you...

Probably out of your price range, but there are several engine/prop STC's to use 360 and 370 Lycs in 172's as well, so you wouldn't have to stay with the 320 if you didn't want to.

I'll try to help you. What is your prop model and aircraft?

It's funny what could happen . . . I worked with a lady a few years ago. She had recently gotten her PPL, and somehow or another got word that a plane that she had flown in with her father when she was very young was on the market. She verified this with her father's logs, and ended up buying...

Ok, I'm curious. Why would anyone steal log books? I've heard about instances where mechanics held logs "hostage," but other than that, why steal logs? It's not like they'd be great coffee table books.

That Depends.

Never mind, I figured it out!

I started a conversation with a member on this forum. I've written it, but how do I send it?

There also looks like there's a bunch of redundant stuff you could sell and get some of the 3K back. Also, if it's truly a machine shop going out of business, you might get a bunch of tooling as well, which would save you the additional 3K you'd spend on tooling once you got it home!

Ted - there a guy on Chicago Craigslist who is selling everything you want (and more) for 3K! https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/for/d/chicago-machine-shop-bridgeport-lathe/7535280769.html

Don't know about the watch, but years ago we had a "health promotion" at my work and everyone had a FitBit. I used to call Bingo on Monday nights, and since I sat at the machine all night I didn't get in my required "steps" for the day. I found that if I put the FitBit on the bingo machine while...

I've heard "thru the grapevine" that the Tempo paint that Spruce sells will spray much better if you put the can in a bucket of hot water for a while prior to spraying. Don't know if it's true, or how long "a while" is.

Who did your prop O/H? Are they on an airport? If so, call them and fly in there. The standard prop paint used is a two part epoxy, so you have to mix it before use, and it sets up pretty quickly. If you catch them at the right time, they could just give you an ounce of it right out of their...

As far as scratching your prop, go to a thrift store and buy a pair of pants - maybe even a pair of kids pants. Cut the legs off. Put a pant leg on each blade. Install your spinner. Remove pant legs after install.

A bit of a long story, and a bit off topic, but it sort of fits . . . Years ago, my wife and I were on vacation in Key West. My wife DOES NOT like flying. We were visiting Fort Taylor there and a red Waco biplane flew over towing a banner that read "Airplane rides" and a phone number. She turned...

I had an acquaintance that was a "train spotter" and he had a "log book" of car and engine numbers. He would check his log against the train he was observing and say "oh, last time I saw that engine it was in Nebraska in September of 1998." I expect it's the same sort of thing, comparing tail...

T.V.'s that had channel dials, UHF & VHF, and you only had a few channels to choose from.

I don't know the whole country, but, in my opinion, you could do a whole lot worse than SE Ohio. I'm an Ohio native myself - grew up in the Cleveland area, and now live in West-Central Ohio, just north of Dayton. My daughter goes to college in Portsmouth, OH, which is South-Central Ohio. SE Ohio...

Thomas Midgley Jr. also invented Freon, so he's on the hook for that as well.
