  1. The damage history would still be there (it's been reported), only the way it was repaired would change.
  2. He's lucky it didn't pin him under the aircraft, or did it?
  3. That would suck a big one
  4. 3 WINGS on Barnstormers and several aircraft being parted out
  5. This was my solution, the jack can fail and be replaced while the plane is still on the stand. Not as easy to fabricate but they have been used to lift a Cessna 310 (with a different vertical ram ((Red piece)) and are hell for stout. I also fab'd an A-Frame and a tail stand for the Mooney, Rock Solid and I sleep very well at night knowing the plane isn't going fall...(I hate jacking airplanes..lol)
  6. Have flown into Silver Wings several times, buddy has a place there
  7. The aircraft has to pass the IFR cert, Dynon SkyView (Experimental) legal for IFR in Exp aircraft. It's paper work and firmware. I think it's the G5 that is certified as "Primary" but not certified as "Backup", the technology is moving faster than the FAA can handle
  8. That's the sequence on my ck list for start up, reversed for shut down
  9. Mine has a toggle switch/circuit breaker (same switch as the boost fuel pump).
  10. Your Plane Power didn't require a "Field" switch?
  11. I can build an "Experimental" get an airworthy certificate, load it up with experimental avionics, an auto pilot, ADS-B in/out and fly IFR anywhere my Mooney can fly for 60% the cost....why would the FAA allow it one way but not the other, when most everything would add to safety
  12. I've never understood how an electronic box knows the difference between Experimental & Certified, at least with the re-write of part 23 us certified guys are getting better options and pricing
  13. Is it always a fighting match to remove?
  14. A production machine shop will cost you through the nose, find a hobby/home machinist, a lot cheaper, might even get it for a plane ride or 2. Evan 6'1" I have considered making a set just to move me back some
  15. I'm a little further south, same 10 days of winter just spread over 2 months, 3 days below 60's° is a "Hard Winter"
  16. 4130 aluminum?
  17. AeroShell W100 Plus
  18. It's all 450 () and 451 (), don't remember a date range but didn't read it that close, the ELT's do get checked at annual but now these will have to have the AD compliance recorded. The FAA shut down production back in 2015 and the couldn't even supply the O-ring when I needed one for the 172
  19. You should be able to find a hobby/home machinist that could knock them out. Owner produced means you were involved in the making of the part, doesn't mean you have to do any of the work
  20. Out of the 5 planes my IA checked yesturday 4 are effected and 2 are mine, add another line to the compliance record
  21. Damn @Marauder it looks like the rear wheels are off the ground
  22. Almost 10 back in the early 80's, had to write letters an snail mail them every six months or so. After the the Divorce she purchased a car and used me as a reference, when she stopped making payments the bank called me, told they have called before loaning the money not after
  23. TrusdedID is complimentary so they say, my guess it's free for 6 mo then they start billing
  24. Here comes 8 pages on not having all the runway available during take off
  25. The only thing I've ever heard is on geared engines, but I thought it had to do with shock cooling but not sure
