Anyone travel cross country east/west along the I-40 route and have a suggestion for fuel/hotel stop. For more years than I care to remember I have stopped at Gallup, NM where the hotel restaurant is a short 5 minute walk from the airport. Always friendly helpful FBO with fuel trucks and mechanics if needed. Some of the planes I move may need a mechanics help so is important. Lately things have gone to pot there. I stopped recently and lost a tire. The current FBO now closes the doors at 5 according to the signs. I was there well before 5 and no one around. there is a note on the door to call after hours in order to get thru the man gate to leave the airport. The plane was off the runway so was safe till morning. Next morning I arrived at the 7 opening time. No one showed up till after 8 and I learned it would be three days before a mechanic with a tire could arrive from the FBO's other office in Flagstaff. Fuel has gone to over $6. Thanks to another pilot based there I was able to borrow a tire capable of making the rest of the trip to Bakersfield. On the return leg a few days later I was again able to arrive well before 5. No one again. and this one no one answered the phone to permit leaving ther airport. I called the local police department who were very helpful. So does anyone have a suggestion of a place with handy hotel and restaurant?

Kinda lucked into some help. I have a house in the Dominican republic full of throw away kids. Many there. One kid, when he was six or seven would disappear early in the morning. Gone all day and come home about dark starved to death. Had been playing baseball. All the rest of his life was same. school then baseball. He become pretty good at it and now is 18 and high school is finished. He signed here is USA as a Pitcher for the majors. He has a couple months free and is staying with me and loves airplanes. WOWWW. MAYBE GET SOMETHING DONE ON 68q

Got the interior of the wings cleaned up and applied ACf50 and covers back on. New tires, tubes and brake discs and gear greased. next rusted rods and bell cranks. Ripped out the full Brittain panel mounted autopilot. tail cone interior finished. engine cylinders removed for inspection. crank, cam and all inside look new. 1200 since factory reman. Lots and Lots to go. Almost sorry i started because of lack of time to devote to it.

We do lots of Mooneys where the wing tip touches down. Puts a wrinkle fore and aft about where aileron and flap join. Replace the second skin, beef up the spar and stringers and go fly. We also did a Cirrus wit the same problem. Wrinkles the rear floorboard and Cirrus charges thousands for a piece of paper telling you the approved method of repair. Of course you are into thousands and thousands to do repairs to the wing and an expensive trip to an approved dealer for his blessing. And of course everyone is familiar with the joke of Cirrus brakes and what is required if you get on them while landing. Built more like a boat than an airplane. But of course there is the parachute so some will be suckered into overlooking the side............

The tie down does not go thru the spar so using a tie down ring with longer threads with a nut on top applied thru the access panel takes a few minutes.

$195.00
