Re: The better choice!

Amen Bruce! That's the way it worked at my house too, and I seem to have made it just fine, my kids made out OK as well. I learned a lot of important lessons about life while trying to stay alive and pay for college at the same time. Some of those lessons served me well later on while trying to stay...

Re: Legality Opinions

Apparently you've never been in a peeing contest with the FAA. A seemingly trivial "legality" can sometimes quickly morph into a legal action against you or your IA in the event of an accident or even an incident. If the 'small' things are hammered home, then it might serve to keeps us out...

Cowl Latches

I installed a set of Dip Davis' latches on a 140 that I used to own. I thought they were brilliant in their simplicity and they were very easy to install. As I recall, it took maybe an hour and a half to install all four. Once installed, they were very secure in flight.

There is a STC for a O-470 on a Stinson 108-3 which would be relatively comparable. It's a real go getter for short field op's. Bill N76447

Aw heck, don't worry about it. Nancy Pelosi will handle this for us, she's big in aviation (or at least she likes BIG airplanes). The news reported the White House is behind that and the White House confirmed it and has made that the official stance based upon her being No. 3 in succession. She exp...

If it is in fact coming from the generator it would likely be the generator shaft seal that is leaking. The seal is inexpensive and is fairly easy to replace. Bill

Fly-in in central Alabama.

This event is in conjunction with our local Peach Festival, parade, etc. I think hamburgers and hotdogs, etc., will be available. I will try to get more details and post them. Anyhow, it's a good exc...
