    Piper PA28-180 MLG cylinder head leak (PN 63315-00)

    Just in case ... The washer under the Shrader valve is aluminum and not reusable. I am not sure why it is not copper, but it's not.

    Low-cost, portable CO detector?

    First alarm at 50 ppm with no user adjustment available seems a problem. I suppose you could mount it in sight, but then you would have to include it in your scan.

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    What vehicle has that stick pattern? Seems cumbersome. Three movements from each gear to the next. Here's my truck's:

    Kayak Yakity-yak [NA]

    Congrats on the new ride. I have a good buddy who is a sea kayaker and taken kayak trips weeks long and hundreds of miles. He's a beast. Have fun; be careful. Using a graphite paddle? https://floridadep.gov/sites/default/files/Paddling%20and%20Lightning.pdf

    Great article on how Boeing has failed

    I believe it was Alan Shepard, the USA's first man in space, who was once asked, "What's were you thinking when sitting atop the Redstone Rocket waiting for liftoff?" Sheppard responded, "That every part was made by the lowest bidder."

    RPM/Performance decrease after cylinder replacement & carburetor rebuild

    Might want to check your tachometer too. This works from the cockpit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006N72U2/

    High Altitude Flight test

    Oxygen binds to hemoglobin rather weakly. This is good, because it has to pick up O2 in your lungs and release it into your tissues. Carbon monoxide binds strongly to hemoglobin rendering it useless for transporting O2. Too much CO and your blood becomes useless as an oxygen transport system and...

    Honest reporting on electric airplanes

    Built over unproductive desert. As I have flown around the states I mourn the loss of agricultural land to massive wind and solar installations and the impact on natural ecosystems. The same folks who want to stop land development for toads or guppies or bugs are the same ones clamoring to...

    Honest reporting on electric airplanes

    How long would it take to fully charge a Tesla using rooftop solar? How many square yards of panels would it take to get it done during daylight hours? You would need an expensive auxiliary electric storage system that is charging during the day so you could drive the vehicle during the day. How...

    Honest reporting on electric airplanes

    Have another cup of Kool-Aid. If you believe CO2 is the great bugaboo, then I suggest you investigate the actual carbon footprint of corn liquor fuel--from planting to irrigation to fertilization to harvest to fermenting to distillation to finished product. In the end you're still burning an...

    My 15 yr plan of owning a home in an airstrip community

    Do it sooner rather than later. Approaching 50, you never know when health issues will clip your wings.

    Looking for destination recommendations for mid-June

    Sedona, or Flagstaff, AZ Moab, UT Plenty of upscale accommodations in both areas and/or within 100 miles. Flagstaff may be the better choice as it's higher, hence cooler. 6 days including travel is too short.

    Pocket knife: Weird or normal?

    I carry a 3.5" clip-on pocket flip folder religiously. It's just part of my leaving the house gear like wallet and keys. A Kershaw for everyday and a Benchmade for more formal gatherings. Wore one at my wedding (now defunct). I prefer a combo blade with base half serrated and a tanto pointy end...

    How big of a hit is my wallet about to take?

    I am not familiar with the Conti O-200, but I ask this: Is the "new" oil pressure relief valve set incorrectly or malfunctioning? Always suspect the last changes. These *may* help: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/o-200-oil-pressure.135334/...
