  1. Garmin Database Alert posted 26 June 2019 for KOSH ILS 36. Get updated before heading to Oshkosh.
  2. My M20J is also at HPN. I have used Weber at KLNS and 3-Wing at KBDR. I have not had any issues with either.
  3. Planning to attend all week weather permitting. See you at the tent Monday 6 p.m.
  4. Lunken (KLUK) is your best choice. Sporty's (I69) is a little farther east and Warren County (I68) is more north but if your heading into the city Lunken is your best bet.
  5. We moved our Mooney from Bridgeport to Martinsburg when Sandy approached. The attached picture is from the North Ramp area where a flying hanger took out a Mooney Lean Machine. That said I prefer KBDR to the approach over the ridge into Danbury.
  6. I appreciate the debate on the value of a biased pirep. This post was intended as nothing more than a pirep of my experience. In response to the post from DaV8or, the cost was high because there are no maintenance facilities on Nantucket and it is necessary to flly in a quailified A/P. In response to Cruiser, Signature was involved in the discussions and helped develop the testing that was performed to identify the problem. What I think is an interesting question is who is responsible for the components that are delivered with an overhauled engine. Is signature responsible for the mag that they delivered if the mag came from another shop? Should I coordinate with the mag shop or should Signature? I have no business relationship with the mag shop. As a final thought, as a retired AF officer I find johnggreen's challenge to free speach to be unfortunate although I would still fight for his right to state his opinion.
  7. Signatures response addressed three reasons it was not their fault. First, they claim the problem was simply a plugged injector. The write-up says the injectors where checked and found clear. Then they claimed the A/P was over his head and didn't know what he was doing. Finally they claimed the mag that Signature delivered with the overhaul was not theirs and was provided by another shop so it was not the engine. By the way a replacement mag was provided by the other shop at no cost.
  8. My recently overhauled engine required over $2000 in repairs which Signature Engines (Lunken Airport in Cincinnati) just called to say they wouldn't cover.
  9. also interested if schedule permits.
  10. I'm not sure how out of the way these may be for you but Muncie (KMIE) has a relly nice restaurant on the field that is open most days but should be called to confirm. Another option would be Eagle Creek (KEYE) just outside of Indianapolis.
  11. Here is a lilnk to the story and pictures. Pilot is listed as fine after an engine out off airport landing. http://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Small-plane-crashes-on-residential-Ridgefield-lawn-2198536.php#photo-1640154
  12. next time park on the west ramp if I'm guessing correctly.
  13. I too am a lefty. I use a knee board on the right leg. I tried the kneeboard on the left leg but it was too crowded to write. I also tried the wrist roll of paper from Sporty's but with no luck.
