I believe this is applicable to any 28/32 not effected by the eddy current AD. 12k hour one time inspection...not too bad. https://s3.amazonaws.com/pipercrm/Solution/20943/SB_1412.pdf

For the record, I did say North Fox was on my bucket list. The effort that was put into places like that is not lost on me and I'm eternally grateful for people that sacrifice to keep things around or bring them back for the rest of us to enjoy.

A friend of mine, her family has a parcel on Detroit Island. I think I've finally convinced her flying would beat driving, so planning a trip to 2p2 this summer.

Was aware the owner didn't actually have to make it. I think Bogert considers their p-leads owner produced because the owner tells them length? Seems fringy to me.

My a&p suggested the OPP route for the cabin heat box. I think it depends on the part...and owner skillset

With all that liquid, where did he take a leak?

Nope. Said it was still on the bucket list. Most places I don't know the history. So blissfully ignorant.

Just hearing North Fox Island gives me goosebumps. On my bucket list...but a bit of sinister history

On the EAB side of things, there's Whirlwind propeller. But Hartzell bought Whirlwind shortly after PE bought Hartzell. Now even the EAB guys that actually had another option are now almost stuck with a Hartzell product.

Every time I fuel up at 10c there's a Bushcat, or a sling, or something rotax powered taxiing out of a hangar. Good to read what they're doing with Leading edge/ Advanced Power. Are they going to move everything to C59? Would have loved to see an operation like there's over at C81.

What's funny is I suspect the dynamics of this sale probably have very little to do with the arguments being made. With the owners divesting themselves of multiple entities, it sounds like retirement and not some sinister PE buyout.

I think they oversold how busy they were

So how about Wag-Aero and Leading Edge Airfoil huh? Leading Edge has become Advanced powerplant solutions and will be at an actual airport, C59. Only wish the Knoll's would have brought APS over to my neck of the woods. But I can't blame them for hopping the cheddar curtain.

Our need for same day shipping and reluctance to leave the house has killed more than a few smaller players in pretty much anything. How many brick and mortars has Amazon single handedly killed? As far as the tax system... I'd be OK with a flat tax just to stop debates like this
