    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    I am signed up (and deposit paid) to get my CP-MES with Brooke’s Seaplane Service in August. Beech 18 on floats. Round engines. I’m looking forward to it!

    Ship hit the span

    And engineering for multiple failure points would add enormously to the cost, weight and time to construct. Anf for a little aviation content, this is also true of our spam cans-specifically- the skin is a load bearing portion of the structure. A little dent can be catastrophic.

    What a zoo!

    Um, yeah. It's usually pretty interesting to listen to CTAF with 3 or more airports sharing a frequency within hearing distance and the plethora of accents...

    What is APC UPS Shelf Life (unopened, battery unconnected)

    TLDR: As the title says. Longer story, I bought 4 APC 600VA UPS's to replace some other brand that have given up the ghost. When I started swapping them out, I realized I only needed 2. Amazon cheerfully and promptly refunded my money but said "Don't ship them back." They don't want them. So...

    Cold Start Issues, Loss of EGT

    Cold Start Issues, Loss of EGT

    I’ve heard about such things but I’m no aircraft mechanic. I just posed the questions based on first principles. What does your mechanic think? This may be a real pain to find because it’s brief and intermittent.

    Cold Start Issues, Loss of EGT

    The #2 cylinder is not firing for a few seconds and the EGT is telling you the cylinder is not firing. Why is it not? Spark, fuel, air and compression are all it needs. So which is it? Moved plugs, didn’t help. Switched mags, didn’t change. So spark seems ok. Cleaned injectors and that also...
