    Masters of the Air - Apple TV show

    “The Pacific” is a series that follows Eugene Sledge and others with the first Marines, I think. My apologies if wrong. The pacific theatre version of BoB. It also follows the service of John Basalone in the pacific theatre. Every bit as good as BoB IMHO.

    Saving money

    The only cheap repair I’ve been a part of was the repair of a KC290 mode controller compliments of Bob Weber. If I’m going to have a squawk, I hope it involves my KFC 200.

    Low power settings and engine (valve) damage?

    John Deakin of Gami in Ada Ok has written a number of very good engine management articles in Pelican’s Perch. I believe it can be found on Avweb. Not sure about the veracity of the the low power setting causing problems claims. You want to avoid high power settings where mixture is set for...

    Need Help With ILS

    I don’t own stock in Bob’s company and if I did, I’d insist he raise his prices. I’m just a satisfied customer who was able to get an avionics problem resolved for little money without taking it to an avionics shop. If legacy avionics are giving you a problem, Bob is your guy.

    Need Help With ILS

    Bob Weber is the lowest cost solution to your problem. If you ever have an autopilot problem pilot he should be your first call. Only once in my plane ownership experiences have I ever thought I can’t believe how inexpensive a repair could be. You the man Bob

    Engine failure on takeoff - mitigation.

    Look at Amsafe Airbag’s Soars package. My next upgrade for A36. I keep a crash helmet for my right seat passenger which is frequently my son. Of course shoulder harnesses. I have BAS restraints and like them. However the Soars system will give me a greater degree of confidence in my crash...

    Would having mental health history cause any problems in being a pilot?

    Sadly the only mental health assistance a pilot can get is the kind that comes in a bottle.

    Heart goes a long way making up for physical shortcomings. Sounds like you have it in spades.

    Reduced Power takeoffs

    Big bore continentals IO550/520, have a feature that makes it run extra rich at takeoff power for increases detonation margin and more optimal peak cylinder pressure after TDC. If you pull the throttle back off the stop, the enrichment feature is disabled. I’m not aware of wether Lyc has a...

    Become airline pilot with expunged record?

    I believe there’s statutory authority governs this issue. 28 USC section something or another if I’m not mistaken. If you’re an attorney and this is a genuine inquiry and you have Lexus/Westlaw I can give a cite. I’m sure a Wikipedia search would get you started and you can shepardize to find...

    Water in Tank Emergency/Question

    Wow Bob L, I’m familiar with your engine cratering drama from another forum. Now this? You’re either the luckiest or unluckiest Pilot around. From what I can tell it was good piloting that overcame bad luck on both occasions.
