    Overhauled Knees

    Five months for me, which just happened to coincide with my Archer’s annual and subsequent cam/lifter replacement. The doc said to figure on a year for recovery. I’m eight months in now and probably regained about 75% mobility.

    Cessna down at KUKI

    There is a report now that the pilot was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown through the windshield as the plane nosed over and then landed on top of him. How sad and unfortunate.

    Electric Trim on Arrow II

    Remove the rear bulkhead access panel and watch/listen to the trim unit while someone operates the switch on the yoke. These are fairly simple units and it might be an easy diagnosis and repair. The cork clutch disc is an easy fix.
