I was told it is AOG with a hydraulic problem. I guess that is why it is in the back 40 with some honorable but also non-airworthy company.

I drove to KCLT today to mail something and saw this beast on the ramp. Hope I can watch it take off.

IMHO, there is nothing better than Deoxit for cleaning electronic contacts. http://www.caig.com/ Or, just use use a pencil eraser and wipe it off with some alcohol and a paper towel.

I have never been before but I plan to fly down this weekend. It isn't far from KLKR where I am based. I flew over their field a few weeks ago. It is truely an amazing facility.

I now. It'z discusting, isn't id?

Too bad they don't test for stupidity, ethics, and alcohol too.

Thanks all .... I have done some more reading and this all makes sense now. :thumbsup:

I hate to reopen such an old thread, but why start a new one? I got some urinalysis test strips from CVS called "Keto-Diastix" that test glucose and ketone. The glucose "pad" reads out in colors labled like this: Negative % 1/10 1/4 1/2 1 2 or more Negative mg/dL 100 250 500 1000 2000 or...

LOL! ... no, just a smart alec. Sorry my lame attempt at humor offended.

Sure, it's heavier. But the lines on many aircraft from the low point of the system to the engine will contain enough fuel to get you into the air if you don't waste it with a useless run up. Happens all to often according to the accident reports.

The only time you shouldn't do a run up is when you are in too big a hurry to sump the tanks either. That's so when the engine quits from the water in the fuel that you didn't know about it will happen at a higher altitude because you didn't waste the fuel in the lines by doing the run up. That...

I had chrome cylinders on a rebuild once. They never did break in. Replaced them with steel and it broke right in and everything went perfect. I hate chrome cylinders. I wouldn't put them on a lawn mower. I'm just sayin' ..... :skeptical:
