    Perplexing Vacuum Leak

    Hi All- Have what seems to be a perplexing issue. I replaced the intake and exhaust manifolds on my f100's ford 300 and upgraded to a four barrel carb (single barrel before :skeptical:). I seem to be having a never ending vacuum leak. I started with installing a 1 inch spacer, gasket on each...

    Weird Real Estate Sale Price

    So as one does, I was searching some properties on my local tax assessor and noticed a house that had recently sold showed a price well below its list... The house was listed right at 1 million (a nice house) and by all means could've and should've gotten it, but the sales price is listed at...

    Name that boat!

    Excuse the poor photo quality, this was taken from shore and the boats quite a distance from shore. There's an airforce base not far from where this was taken. Any thoughts?

    What would you want to see at your local EAA chapter's meetings?

    Some of you may remember my post talking about myself potentially taking over an EAA Chapter as the current leadership was stepping down. Well I ended up taking over, and have officers filling the other roles of leadership (all of us were voted in by current members of course). The chapter I...

    Getting an Aerobatic Plane?

    The more I think about what I want my first plane to be, the more I think about aerobatic planes... Being able to perform aerobatics is one of the things on my "bucket list" of things to do with my PPL. So I figure why not the first plane I buy be the stepping stone that gets me to aerobatic...

    Triple Tree

    So, after lots of driving I made it out! I was only able to stay for today, but I'm glad I made the trip.

    Running an EAA Chapter?

    Anyone here have any experience being involved as president or acted as part of the board of an EAA chapter? The reason I ask is the chapter I'll be moving near in the fall is talking about shutting down. They've had somewhat poor attendance/involvement, but its better than other chapters I've...

    Anyone ever worked for Bell Helicopter?

    So my college (starting mechanical engineering in the fall) mentioned they've had some engineering students do a co-op with Bell Helicopter. Given my aviation background (Fixed wing PPL) this sounds pretty interesting to me. Just wondering if anyone here has worked for Bell Helicopter, or even...

    Really tall person in a C172/Cherokee?

    Hello all! We all know how cramped the C172's and Cherokee 180s are for us "normal" height people, but can really tall people still fit relatively decently? Specifically, a 6'7 tall person, weighing around 300lbs (former football player). I know a guy fitting these specifications and he wants...
