    Can an annual substitute for a pre-purchase inspection? If an annual is done before the due date do any maintenance issues need to be fixed?

    Aileron Rigging, was not hitting full stops Two questions: Does the Cherokee have aftermarket (Metco Hoerner) wing tips? If so, are there holes in them to allow full travel of the counterweights? Had the same problem with mine. The installer didn’t follow the STC instructions which clearly...

    Stairway to Heaven - Not the Song

    I don’t even like to go out on my tower’s catwalk. I’m scared of edges too. In Arizona, we have a steep drop off called the Mogollon Rim. (pronounced muggy-on). The first time I flew over it and it dropped off, I got the heeby geebies. Sure the Grand Canyon would be even worse

    Intersection Takeoff NOT Okay

    Come to my air patch. At 13,645’ long, we’ll let you do intersection take offs all day long. Just don’t do them all day long - I’ll need a bathroom break at some point, and watch my movies and YouTube and…

    Suspected Carb Ice...Rare Magneto Failure

    180hp from an O-320? If that’s the case, someone didn’t update the registration. More than likely an O-360.

    It’s just a ****ing game

    I will say that I liked Tony Romo’s commentary for the game. He gave a lot of insight as to what a quarterback sees and what he would do to adjust. I should add that I was never, nor will I ever be a Dallas fan. I could have done without the hip hop, goofy arsed clothes, roller skates and...

    Fuel cap chain loose inside tank - a flight cancelling issue?

    How would you know if the part dangling inside the fuel tank is ALL the chain? What about the part that attaches to the fuel cap? Obviously some part of it broke - but the question is, did it break off?

    My tail number is 5660U Don’t know how many times I’ve had to say “there ain’t no Oscar’s in a November call sign.” Stupid controllers.

    How much wind is too much?

    and if you can’t hold alignment?

    How much wind is too much?

    If you don’t have enough rudder to keep the aircraft aligned with the centerline, it’s too windy. But then again, by the time you determine that, it’s too late. Experience- the thing you get right after you needed it

    Tell me about life in Tucson and/or Reno

    What did you find surprising about life there--a good or bad aspect of the city that you did not anticipate? It’s scenic. Mountains all the way around. Winters are great and summer is hot but not as hot as phoenix. What do you miss about the place/places you have previously lived...
