    What is interesting to me is he never smuggled the beer. They were watching for planes smuggling booze in Fairbanks which is where they executed the search warrant. I can’t determine how they got the warrant. In any case putting on cases of beer with maybe the intent to fly them to a dry county isn’t a crime. Whole thing seems fishy but can’t determine more on the internet but there has to be more.

    I dumped it into a 2009 Outback filled with sludge in @2021. It was leaking a bit of oil and thus I never changed it over the course of 4-5 yrs and maybe 20K miles. Driving from ORD to ATL it blew all the crap out and the car leaked like a sieve because of all the sludge being gone. Mechanic put some gaskets and other junk in, said it was a really clean looking motor. Still running though I try to change the oil at least once a year now (it’s down to maybe 1k miles a year now). Testament to Subaru and Seafoam in my book. YMMV.

    Seafoam is better

    You joined July 12th before you bought the plane and asked about insurance. My best advice is ask before in future, not after. I have been flying and owning since 1988, there is nothing I do even today without consulting with folks be it here, the airport, mechanics I have made relationships with over the years. I would look at a Saavy membership.

    I never go full flaps until committed to land and often I never go full flaps. Half flaps is take off configuration for a F. In a go around I am configured for maximum performance and than it is positive rate, gear, than flaps.

    I just follow the line on the iPad but I can’t get it to turn green?

    If HE-1517 are worn out the situation you describe occurs. I finally managed to source a replacement pump to fix my bad seals. Also note there are two springs. One is strong and one is weak. If you take apart note which is which, I forgot which of the two it is but it caused me a lot of grief till I understood the springs aren’t the same and need to go in the correct way. @Shadrach has a lot of insights on flap operation.

    Totally unrelated but does anyone know how to contact Ethiopian Airlines customer service?

    It is

    Another very long post. Can you or can you not buy new cylinders, cases, etc?

    I enjoy my airstream, best RV ever.

    This Sears ad from 1968 will help with the selection. Remember you are a Ranger, buck the trends.

    It’s a yes or no question. Can you buy new cylinders, cases, etc. or not?
  15. M20F
    Nobody can or nobody is? You can’t buy new cylinders? I am not sure I follow you here.
  16. M20F
    They can’t buy new cases or cylinders?

    This is key. The thread seems to be talking about two things. Quality of parts and quality of build. The best engine builder cannot make an IO360 work with connecting rods made out of bamboo. Conversely the finest connecting rod known to man is of no use to a milkman. The factory rebuild doesn’t really bring anything to the party for the $$, except resale. There is a subset of uneducated buyers that will pay for it.

    Never have truer words been written. Edit: I have no idea why it is dropping the resolution it’s only a 3.2MB pic

    I don’t. He wrote a legal brief. @jlunseth wrote common sense. Both are correct. One came before the other, was correct, and where I stopped.

    I am surprised I had to scroll the far, well said.

    Here are a whole bunch of thoughts.

    The crew of AA965 would disagree. Automation will do what you ask it to. The more automation you have the more potential to have it do something unintended.

    Mistakes are what kill people. Instead of twisting 500FPM you accidentally twist 5000 and look at your iPad and it potentially becomes a bad day.

    Electric trim tends to come with adding up/down to the mix. Personally I like altitude and heading hold, up/down I prefer myself. It just takes a small typo or twist if a knob and it becomes a bad day.
