  1. I'm sure you meant IRAN
  2. No chance in hell he could see the car he had collided with. It was always under the belly and nose. Looks like both engines were running.
  3. Awesome!! Would you mind if I stopped by to have a look once this is done?
  4. I looked into that one, but it seems like it is designed specifically for Continental engines. Does anyone have experience matching it with IO-360?
  5. Oil door. Cargo door..
  6. You are right of course, definitely a brain fart there. The speeds in the formula are not Vref and Vso, but the weight-corrected approach speed and the "book" approach speed at MGW, respectively. Vreal = Vbook x SQRT(landing weight/gross weight)
  7. Back seat has been rendered INOP by personal minimums, i.e. I just don't put people there, ever and under any circumstances. An E is a 2-seater in my book. Baggage is certainly a consideration, hence the lbs in the chart. Easy to correct for 50 or 100 extra pounds.
  8. Vref = Vso x SQRT(landing weight/gross weight) I have this little thing on my sun visor. Speeds are in MPH and are valid for my 71E.
  9. I cannot recommend Owen and Barefoot Aviation enough. He performed a comprehensive PPI of my E, and I ended up buying a great airplane.
  10. My E is 1 - ONE - mph CAS over MOSAIC cutoff
  11. How long did AD research and compliance take, since this is first annual performed at this shop?
  12. Amazon Leo Nano appears to be much smaller at 7*7 in and 2 lbs. Remains to be seen what the coverage and pricing look like. https://leo.amazon.com/technology/
  13. "Complete major overhaul at FAA approved facility" is such a lovely way to say "field overhauled", isn't it??
  14. Not sure what model you need, but Spruce has R1530B in stock for $619.
  15. That's a fascinating statistic
  16. He's a good friend. That helps!!
  17. A&P/IA signing off the annual goes on the first post-maintenance flight with me. Sure as hell makes him triple check things.
  18. My Butler E certainly flies much slower than it "should", but I have always attributed this to flying exclusively deep LOP and having no interest in leaning "per book".
  19. I get more of "what's up with that font?!"
  20. No, it's not made for that. But it will easily add 5 psi to all four tires.
  21. @Cody Stallings at KFCY, probably closer to 3 h.
  22. But please don't forget that you can still get it for just $104.91 with $2400 annual membership!!
