    ATC asks me for winds.

    Maybe it was a hint from atc that your heading was drifting.

    Unfeathering accumulator

    Is the pressure you're seeing just the precharge. Typically accumulators have two chambers. Air never touches the oil.

    No Lead Aviation Fuel

    Mogas isn't really a replacement. The vapor pressure is too high. A good chunk of the fleet would have to be retrofitted with in tank boost pumps to keep airframe fuel lines from forming vapors.

    Hangar Space May Appear Sooner Than Later

    After living in Socal small town living is nice. Maybe it's because I was never very social. I live in a city of about 10,000, the airport has a nice fbo with hangars at 150/ month. I can go to the DMV, county clerk and vin check in one 20 min visit. The "internet of things" makes the drawbacks...

    N/A Anyone drive for Amazon DSP?

    How is Amazon allowed to consider you a contractor when you're solely driving for them?

    Thinking about a train

    UP. Cover Cheyenne to Granger. Total restructure is one way to put it. It's more of a stock holder pump and dump. They're hollowing out the company big time. The one good thing is management and trainmen have a much better relationship. There is almost 0 rules field testing anymore. Also the...

    Thinking about a train

    Kind of curious around what year you got out. Was it before or after they turned the MYO's and yardmasters into uber drivers :). I'm a sixth district engineer coming up on seven years now. Keep looking for a way out to be an A&P again but no such jobs in Wy.

    A Cloud Nine Transport Video

    Good video. I guess I'm the weird one and skipped most of the dog portions. Would have liked to seen the transitions into and out of IFR as well as normal speed landing. Subbed

    Comanche 250 prop control

    If anyone would like to look at there Comanche during preflight I'd appreciate it. I'm returning a favor by installing a new propeller control cable. Suspect the plane has custom mounting bracket because when I route cable above the intake runners bend is to tight to governor and when below...

    Anyone in Socal with a RV

    I'm happy with the Rv7,8 choice. It does 90% what I want and things I never considered in my mission profile which sound fun.

    Anyone in Socal with a RV

    I like retracts the for the same reason people like black cars, all they do is show the dirt and get scorching hot. It's not rational, just a personal preference.

    Anyone in Socal with a RV

    Looking to build an Rv8. Was going to do a glasair but recently learned they're unavailable. Then had my sights on a Velocity but decided against it since I have no use for a four place and I don't want to be limited to hard runways. Was hung up on the RVs because there is no retract option...

    How does Rotax do it?

    Playing devils advocate. People keep mentioning the inefficiency of gas turbines down low. Does that have to be the case? Why would electric power plants use them. Seems with the quantity of fuel consumed they'd pick the most efficient option.

    Anyone in Socal with a RV

    Realize it's a long shot but was wondering if anyone in the Socal area wants to take me up in there RV*. Figured I'd ask here before making the drive to Oregon. Anyway I'll be in the area for vacation and instrument work first half of Nov.

    Has Advanced Aero priced themselves out of market

    Thanks for the answers guys. I had no idea Glasair bailed because it wasn't profitable. Now I'm wondering how these home gamers are building with carbon fiber. As an A&P we generally don't do field repairs on carbon fiber. 1. It's a specialized trade skill most mechanics don't possess. 2. The...

    Has Advanced Aero priced themselves out of market

    Looking at kits again now that I am in a position to build and my searching has narrowed to the same suspects as years past. Such as Velocity, Tango, Rv8, and Glasair II. All of these were reasonably priced with the Rv8 being significantly cheaper. Anyway come to find out you can't actually buy...
