Happy to answer any questions and share our experiences. If you're an EAA member there's a Webinar recording available in the Chapters section.

It was late night, in the bar area. I sincerely doubt there were many tender age children around. Not defending him, but this keeps getting embellished and blown out of proportion. They're a lot more important things going on to concern ourselves with than what some celebrity or another is...

You do realize this was at an upscale steakhouse, not a strip club?

Registering as a 501c3 isn’t that hard or costly, and once you do you can get discounted or even free cloud services and employer matches to member donations. We did this for my EAA chapter and now get free Google Workspace, plus my employer matches anything I donate to the chapter.

I got the prop logs, it's a Hartzell HC-C3YR-1RF/F7663R. The blade serial numbers match the last prop overhaul, so I guess the damage must have been pretty slight. I'll call the prop shop on Monday and get more details.

It's a fixed gear Saratoga.

Prop logs requested. The listing says "prop overhauled with new blades". I take it that's bad?

The prop and governor were overhauled by East Coast Propeller Service and reinstalled. I just have the airframe log entry for that, I'll request the prop log entries.

We are looking at purchasing and airplane that was porpoised on landing about 15 months ago, resulting in a prop strike and some damage to the nose gear and tail. The engine tear down was done by Mattituck, so no real worries there. The R&R on the engine and the airframe work was done at Wings...

The latest version of the AD is 2012-19-01. The only changes in the various versions that I've seen were to add affected crankshafts and engines, and to remove some methods of compliance. The 12 year deadline remains.

That's ok. The Coors Light wasn't drinkable to start with.

:yeahthat: :rofl:

Until you realized it counts as a prop strike and get the A&P's bill.... :yikes:

I've been to the last two, found both to be useful and informative, and will definitely be there tonight. I'm hoping to put some faces to screen names.

Anyone going to the Air Safety Institute seminar tonight in KoP?
