My mechanic hates a turbo Mooney. Not because of the maintenance required, but because of the difficulty. Mooney packed an entire airplane into a small, tidy package. Add a turbo, and even an oil change becomes a headache working among all the bits & pieces with no room for fingers in between.

Paint dries quickly, but doesn't totally cure for several days. In between, the solvents in the fresh coat will soften the base coat, turning it into a crinkly, gooey mess. A few light coats, sprayed just a few minutes apart works best. I usually spray about four coats, last one about...

Why does the car that stays outside need a garage door opener? Does your house have any alternative ways to enter? A front door perhaps?

You are only bending it once. In several small steps, but only one bend. Work hardening happens when bent back and forth several times. If you formed it, then pounded it back flat again, and formed it again several times, you may cause a problem. Ya got no reason to worry

I recommend using flaps during instrument training. It gives the student plenty of time to open up the textbooks and study for the written while on final approach.

When one leases a car, at the end of the lease term, the dealership expects to get the car back. In your opinion, did the dealership steal the car? I've owned a few hangars subjected to a ground lease. The closing documents clearly spell out the terms of the ground lease. The buyer is well...

Best thing you can do to prove to yourself and the FAA that you're worthy of a medical is to bring the schoolwork up to an excellent level, in spite of having difficult teachers. Successful people learn to perform well even in difficult situations. When you are ready for your checkride, you...

Airplanes with a high thrust line, like the Lake Buccaneer or BD-5 will pitch nose up if power is lost. Better be quick with forward stick when close to the ground.

Whoever has the broadcast rights doesn't want drones in their pictures, and they don't want competing videos showing up on YouTube.

Ummm..... Nope!

I absolutely refuse to do any business with amex, as either merchant or customer. Won't take the time to explain why, but I absolutely stay away. That being said, I won't carry any card that has a yearly fee. Lots of free cards out there, why pay any fee at all? $295/year? Notachance

"The Doors" sold 34 million albums in the US, and over 100 million records worldwide. How many wheels on their tour bus?

They're for an airplane. He needs them for a long time.

NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to create the fake moon landing. He was such a stickler for accuracy, he insisted it be shot on site.

If fluid seeps, an excessive amount was used. Spray very lightly. I have treated my airplane a few times and have never had a drop afterwards.

Just make sure it is parked next to the hose.

I'll take a stab at this... Two major differences- 1- The percentage of the propeller's "disc" that is occupied by the blades shows a stationary prop on a ship will cause far more drag than the thin blades of an airplane's prop. 2- A ship has forward, reverse, and... neutral. When in...

Just fill up at the $3.85 rate before bringing it in for the annual inspection. That should keep the costs down.

Ag pilots are not paid by the hour, but by acres sprayed. Not only will they make straight-in approaches to avoid downwind/base/final, but they will land where it minimizes taxi time to their station. If our refueling/reloading station is at the East end of the airport, we will land to the East...

Big mistake in that video. "Pilot and passenger"? There was no pilot. Just two passengers.
