In the privacy of my own hangar......

[eman1200]

Should I clean my pipes?

And if so, with what? I think I’m gonna leave it alone. Does everyone’s hang to the right?

 

[Grum.Man]

You should take a torch to them and turn them that fancy shade of blue!

 

[SkyDog58]

No one else is going to do it for you, even with that girth.

 

[MooneyDriver78]

I’d start with the painted parts first, especially underneath the wings and the bottom of fuselage. That will keep you busy for a while.

Going to take a lot of vigorous rubbing.

Probably less than you think.

 

[benyflyguy]

I don’t say this often, but your pipe is bigger than mine

Mine just kind of hangs straight down, is that normal?

 

[benyflyguy]

To be Rasputin....

 

[benyflyguy]

You just got me thinking... guy with the mu2 in my hangar always talking about speed...no pipe on that turbine.... maybe all that speed talk is compensating for something else lacking...

If you take his suggestion, be careful with the torch so you don't turn the airplane a very plain shade of black.

 

[eman1200]

dunno, but now I know what it's like to get unsolicited pics of people's pipes...…..

 

[cowman]

You were clearly asking for it

It could be. They also say you’ve got to keep an eye on those pilots who dislike Aspen Avionics! @Ted DuPuis

I'm sorry for you, man. Have you tried buffing it out?

 

[SoonerAviator]

Just be careful if you bring any power tools into the equation, things could quickly get messy!

Kind of weird, but I've got TWO pipes...

 

[Cardinalguy]

Shouldn't we be having this discussion in "Hangar Talk" ?

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

Mine fell off

According to AC 43.13-1B, such practices require a solo endorsement for your Mile High Club membership certificate.

Should have seen the doc at the first sign of symptoms.

Kids your age shouldn't have those kind of problems...

Are you willing to wear lipstick while you do?

Heard somewhere that guys with short pipes have more need for speed

Docs can do amazing things nowadays

I’ve also heard that, which is why 152’s and 172’s are all I need.

From this angle it looks like your landing gear has a crack right behind the door.

yeah it's just a small crack though.

 

[Skyrys62]

yeah it's just a small crack though.

With a pipe like that?

 

[Timbeck2]

For perhaps the first time on this forum, I was serious.

stop lookin at my crack and focus on my pipe!


I mean that in the most aviation related way possible.


just a flesh wound in the paint.

 

[James331]

Mine when from dull, to polished to blue and gold, maybe I need to see someone lol

 

[blueskyMD]

[blueskyMD]

Prediction :
This thread will even get better at 10 PM tonight when everyone has some Dalwhinnie or something similar

 

[charheep]

Can you get your fist inside it to clean the inside?
