  1. i just.found a.mechanic i like . one.of.the things he said was sensenich prop will do.it.for a.couple.hundred on the plane while.you wait.. near.lancaster.pa.. news to.me i would be excited to do this every year. but i might not fly that much and have to go two years . if.the prop needs.replacing do it , of.course , if not ., just get the inspection
  2. I want to do this too,where do I begin> ? (i know stupid queston, no response needed)
  3. I watched American Ninga Warrior , where they do a log roll , I am now amazed how they even stand up. this is out of context but ;( what about a BFR??) """"I am glad you enjoyed the flying Carl. My TW endorsement course is 5 lessons (total cost $1250). The 3 lesson short course you refer to is based upon completion of my complete emergency maneuvers course. I always provide a BFR when I fly two or more lessons with a customer. JIM """ I might go do it again . but maybe I try the New Jersey trainer ( no it will be too old by then) and i'll eat bananas first
  4. well I've been thinking ,really an A&P can do anything .. find something that may need work . you can do it ! EAJ Salvage 2009 Video DRAFT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOwQuQfquRI This is a draft video for a Kenn Borek Air and ALCI presentation for a DROMLAN meeting. It gives a brief overview of the salvage mission for a crash landed DC-3 named Mia. The crash site was at a remote location in Queen Maude Land Antarctica at a height of over 3,300 meters.
  5. I must not be operating it properly, it doesn't pick up anything. But really I have an old loran , I will get rid of it soon.
  6. KGAI mongomery county has great self services gas prices don't they ?
  7. I am sorry Hank and Bob 's panels have ruined the breed . You only need one or two instruments , altititude and and a Loran , thats what mine has . really we need more information about you ? Where are you ? what you want to do with it ,your mission ... or forget it just get an E .
  8. I think food does help. but I am not ready to test my theory.
  9. Sorry Robert , The government must have taken my good zinc chromate stuff. I can't find it ( RV - 8 construction) I have some Alodine . I've switch to epoxy primer Chemical strip down to bare metal.... My question is . With strippers, what effect does it have on the inside of the surface? My plane has a great deal of primer factory placed inside. I don't want to damage this primer so I don't want to chemical strip, since I will never be able to re-prime in these hidden areas. carl
  10. do you want some old zine cromate ?
  11. i did .6 hours then landed . and we got gas then did .6 more .
  12. ok , will do
  13. I am flying some pattern work and some cross country . Yes my oil looks clean , and it is overkill , agreed. I almost made it to Hagertown the other day. When are you around? ?
  14. Also in the OP statement . His last oil change was in December ,9 months ago. He has 25 hours on the oil . I think that is too long of a calendar time , good oil goes bad. He should go to 10 and 30 also.
  15. I was trying to qoute hank ,, "If you dont have a filter just a screen . " I thought everyone had both. Filter and Screen . Yes, not changing the filter with the oil change presents dirt back into the new oil, but the load(ppm) is dramaticlly less
  16. New oil is a beautiful thing . 1)When it gets dirty there are damaging partical present, these are smaller then the filter material and they continue to circulate . The filter catches the big stuff ,say bigger then 30 microns, but damage is being done by the small stuff. This is the stuff I want to get out before it builds up. This video is for a different application but it presents my belief well;dirty oil damages engines. 2)Calendar time; oil sitting will change, especially with contaminates in it., varnishes will be produced, and sludge, etc, changing at 10 hours prevents this. So an oil drain and replace is fast and easy and fun . Yes it may be wasteful , but you could put it in you car and use it there. Filter changes are harder,more time and more mess, so I'll go 30 hours on the filter. I hope that will be twice a year. I like the tempest filter (artical attached). I am the first to say , I don't know what I am talking about and welcome your views. carl Amazing Filter Demonstration - Save Your Engine ,youtube FS2500 oil filter https://youtu.be/klcBRnyCSvo Spin+On+Oil+Filters+Champion+or+Tempest+Aviation+Consumer+03130001.pdf
  17. it took about 30 minutes to get my stomach feeling better , then we went up and did it again. I did not eat anything before flying . Maybe it is better if you do . After we were done I stopped at Mc donalds and got a burger , I felt better right away then.
  18. I am starting the habit of changing oil every 10 hour. filter every 30.
  19. Not Grant County Maryland, that would be close, Oregon is too far, or I be there!
  20. A report on flying at Dylan Aviation located in Indiantown Florida. I picked up a rare flight from Latrobe pa to Fort Lauderdale on Spirit Airline for 89 bucks, round trip. Leaving Friday and returning Monday. I had some minor real estate details to tend to. Next I emailed Jim Alsip, at Dylan Aviation to see if he could work me in for Saturday. He said, with the Hurricane coming a student had canceled and I could take their spot. Hurricane? I live in Pa, I don’t know what the weather is in Florida. So I arrive at Indiantown, in the middle of the boonies, near lake Okeechobee at 8:45am, about an hour fifteen minute rom Pompano Beach ,where I am staying. I signed up for the Stall, Spin and Upset Recovery Two 2-Hour Lessons: Total cost – $480 Stall, Spin and Upset Recovery Two 2-Hour Lessons: Total cost – $480 An ooh shucks moment! Are you anxious during slow flight and when practicing stalls because you are apprehensive about spins? Do not fear the spin; understand it. Spins are just another thing airplanes do. Enjoy a half day of fun with lessons that could save your life. During this half day course offered at Dylan Aviation School of Aerobatics and Airmanship you will: · Recovery from accelerated and climbing stalls. · Use top rudder to recover from a nose low unusual attitude. · Learn to use a zero g maneuver to recover from a nose high unusual attitude. · Perform and recover from one and two turn spins. · Experience and recover from a notorious and much feared base to final turn skidding spin. Stall, Spin and Upset Recovery Training is a flight training best buy. You can see this at http://www.dylanaviation.com/ I loved it, especially after I got over the nausea. ( well ,when I got home then) I was there from 8:45 till about 1:30, ground school, flying, ground school and flying, debriefing. There is some ground school, did I say that. There is some flying, Super Decathlon (8KCAB); I did get sick both times. Sick, I was not expecting it, but Jim was and said I lasted longer than most people. I did not throw up, but was massively diaphoretic and experiencing nausea when we landed each time. I really believe in the first ten minutes he taught me things that would save my life. Simple things, Planes don’t stall, pilots do. Let go of the yoke. Planes don’t spin, pilots do. Let go of the yoke. Your first reaction is to pull back on the yoke. This kills you, let go of the yoke. Train to let go of the yoke . Don’t Stall (let go of the yoke) and control Yaw (what the heck is that). Recovery from accelerated and climbing stalls. I may have this wrong, but his Decathlon, turning left will stall accelerated and recover ( let go of the stick) to level, and turning right it will recover from the stall ( let go of the yoke ) in what appeared a 90 degree bank turn , then you recover with top rudder maneuver . Use top rudder to recover from a nose low unusual attitude. I say smash the top rudder and push the stick in that direction , Jim keep yelling “are you trying to break my plane “, “No I just don’t want to die” I am surprised how fast the onset of a spin is and how fast and simple the recovery is. I still do not understand how you lose 800 feet in the recovery. It appears instantaneous ,recovery and bam, you are down 800 feet. Learn to use a zero g maneuver to recover from a nose high unusual attitude. "He's going vertical, so am I" Goose: "We're going ballistic Mav, go get him". TOP GUN We are pulled up into an extremely nose high attitude (vertical) pitched in a wing high or wing low attitude, maybe we are going inverted, I don’t know, close the throttle let go of the stick and you are ballistic, like a bullet, unloaded wing and g s, zero g .pulling at the top straps, speed decelerates, nose comes down toward the horizon, now you have a nose low wing high, top rudder recover. Sweet. Really fun. Some people call that the vomit comet, but that’s not true,…… Spins are . Perform and recover from one and two turn spins. Let go of everything and the plane will recover itself, the only reason it is spinning is because it is stalled and the pilot made that happen by pulling back. “Ok, Carl pull the stick back into your stomach all the way, hold it, hold it, hard right rudder.” Pitch over the top I think we are inverted , I don’t know. “And recover “ Spinning……. opposite rudder, let go of the stick, get off the rudder, and pull out. Huh? Where am I . I lost 1000 feet. “Do it again, I want under 800 feet altitude loss. “Jim Says. This repeated event is why I am here and what make me nauseous. We do it again. And Again. Experience and recover from a notorious and much feared base to final turn skidding spin. Well really you can’t do it . So before you spin, recover with fast top rudder maneuver . We do this over and over . But I am sick now so we heard back . I teach respiratory therapy , I tell my students ,who are preparing for their board test, they will black out and not remember much of the first 30 minutes, the pressure is so great. So go back to the beginning after you finish , when your mind is clearer. I am sure I don’t remember much. I remember Don’t Spin. Don’t pull back( let go of the yoke ) . Don’t stall ,control yaw. AOA , we all have them built in , it is the sight view out the front windscreen. . We need to look out the front window more, especially on turns in the pattern, to watch and control yaw. Indiantown fla, in the middle of nowhere. So I am looking into buying some property there now, it is a strange magical place. Hangars 350 per month ( crazy expensive) . Jim does all kind of training, I am thinking of a tailwheel sign off, only because I really liked slipping the plane in the pattern.
  21. very sharp. It does rock.
  22. the only fault is i need more pictures !!! did you repaint after you reseal job ? carl
  23. agreed, just to purge air , when you are on a empty tank, I never do that and don't use the pump. I don't know why i use it on take off , well just in case the engine pump fails, that why i use it.
  24. thanks Bob . I know your panel is "too the max" . So when the time comes I won't worry about the inside acess
  25. DC 3
