  1. If you wanted to make it USB powered, you would need to make it battery powered and use the USB to charge the battery. The running current is probably too much for USB, but the average current should be just fine.
  2. I’ve bought avionics from @Alan Fox. Great shape for a fair price.
  3. Around here there is a clinic that advertises relentlessly on the radio called QC Kinetics is actually selling PRP. I've read it can be done by just about any doctor. It is an approved procedure. Insurance will not pay for it because the results are kind of hit and miss. But sometimes it works great. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/plateletrich-plasma-prp-treatment https://physicians.dukehealth.org/articles/stem-cell-therapy-osteoarthritis-reviewed-miles-study
  4. The one thing that bothers the hot moms more than checking them out while they work out, is not checking them out....
  5. It isn’t always something you did. Sometimes it is just bad DNA.
  6. When foot pressure is released on the master cylinder, a spring pushes the plunger back. If the master cylinder isn’t completely full, the spring causes a low pressure that is lower than ambient pressure. This pressure differential is what causes the fluid to flow from the reservoir to the master cylinder. The reservoir could actually be somewhat below the master cylinder and still work. As long as weight of a column of brake fluid was less than atmospheric pressure. The reason the reservoir is the highest point in the system is because air bubbles are less dense than brake fluid, therefore they will tend to migrate towards the highest point in the system where the air will eventually go out the vent.

  8. Just go to Woodworkers Source. They have all kinds of exotic woods. They sell small pieces for making pens. You can find almost any grain structure, color and hardness imaginapnable.
  9. I landed at a Vector airport (KIFP) a couple of weeks ago. It is a beautiful airport and dead as a door nail. The shuttle driver went off on a rant about how the city counsel has not only nickel and dimed GA to death, they chased away most of the airlines.
  10. The nerve block is still working. No pain at all. Dead weight hanging off my right side. Sometime this evening reality will set in.
  11. There are lube points in there that you can’t get to any other way. They are the ones I find that haven’t been lubed since the factory. They ate the rudder torque tubes.
  12. It is really hard to type on the iPad with just my left hand.
  13. If you have jacks, you can jack it and retract the wheels. It’s about the same effort as removing the rods, so it depends what you are up to. If it is annual time, I will jack it, otherwise, I’ll take the rods off.
  14. I’m not very familiar with the Bravo, but from the POH statement, I suspect it uses a throttle switch. So nothing matters except your throttle position.
  15. I’m having my rotator cuff partially disassembled tomorrow. I was hoping the recovery would be less than six months. I hope we both get back in the air soon.
  16. Why did you give me a laughing emoji? The battery is easily removed. Putting it in a cool place like a fridge will slow its self discharge.
  17. Just remove the battery and put it in your fridge.
  18. I think you need to adjust your gear horn. 20” seems kind of high.
  19. 94UL is just 100LL without the TEL. It should have zero compatibility issues, and the refiners already know how to make it.
  20. I was talking to my principal inspector a while back. He told me there is a whole organization back in DC dedicated to making the FAA web pages impossible to use. He said as soon as you figure out how to work them, they replace it with a new one that solves the usability issue.
  21. Well, I finally went to the doctor about my shot shoulder. It is worse than I thought. Severe degenerative osteoarthritis. No cartilage, and bone warn 5 mm away on both the ball and socket. They keep asking about pain. That isn’t the problem. It just won’t move anymore. Anyway, I’m getting a major repair on Wednesday. Hopefully, I’ll be airworthy sometime soon.
  22. This article is from 2013. I wonder if any of this was ever done?
  23. What I want has nothing to do with it. For the mast part any moisture in the crankcase is in suspension in the oil or condenses on the inside after the engine cools.
