    Ferry flight lawsuit (mods please help with title)

    Most states have Statutes of Repose and I wouldn't consider that tort reform. I think repose statutes are similar in nature to statute of limitations for actions which are entirely proper. At a certain point in the future, you shouldn't be able to hold someone liable for defects. This is the...

    Ferry flight lawsuit (mods please help with title)

    I agree that the “Sue everyone, let the jury sort them out” approach taken by very few of my colleagues is inappropriate. But most lawyers don’t sue someone unless there’s a legal and factual basis for the claims, because ethics. The amount of work and research that goes into a large multi-party...

    Ferry flight lawsuit (mods please help with title)

    Who said “vast sums of wealth”? Perhaps you would have a different understanding of damage caps if you were the one damaged. Me thinks not based on your statement.

    Ferry flight lawsuit (mods please help with title)

    Jackpot justice is a falsehood put forth by the various Chamber of Commerce entities and insurance companies. If the facts and law don’t add up, the case never sees trial and a jury never awards a “lottery ticket” verdict. Unfortunately, the only effective justice for those that suffer a loss...

    Uncoordinated flight-aileron trim tab

    It was rigged before the new engine and prop. Always have had to use the rudder trim adjustment knob in my Comanche but I’m attempting to see if I can make adjustments to make the plane fly straighter to alleviate as much knob twisting as possible. Maybe it isn’t possible. Hey Russ. I’ve...

    Uncoordinated flight-aileron trim tab

    My Comanche has been flying crooked since some modifications including a new engine and prop. Not much, could just screw the rudder trim adjustment knob, but I’m wondering if I can get it fly straight without doing that. Here’s how the ball is oriented when flying on a no wind day on a...

    Lycoming O-540-A 250hp powered taildraggers?

    what experimental backcountry taildraggers will work with an O-540-A Lycoming? From my cursory search I've come up with Bearhawks and Maule M-9. Any others? I've got an extra engine that needs to go in something and I want a taildragger!

    Piper Matrix

    I recently saw someone (+700hr pilot with lots of Instrument & Retract time) want to move up to a Malibu and got insurance quotes on a $600k airframe which came in over $25k a year.

    PA-24 Comanche Pre-Buy Omaha NE

    @Kristin will do log book reviews and can possibly fly to personally inspect the plane for you. She’s a Comanche expert. She saved me from a couple of bad purchases and helped me find a peach of a 250.

    POA Argument Time: Can a private pilot get paid to tow gliders?

    Yeah, but you're not "carrying" it in your aircraft. (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

    Anyone aware if an already installed OAT gauge going to a JPI can be split off to provide OAT information to an AV-30 and an Aspen or would this setup require 3 OAT probes?

    Magneto Filter needed?

    Tomorrow my mechanic and I start replacing my engine with an overhauled unit. This is a new mechanic I've never worked with before. The new engine has a Surefly on the left side. My current Piper Comanche 1959-250 has the original magneto filter on the firewall AND a filter on the left mag. (see...

    Engine vibration

    That's a different prop than I have. The hartzell page shows what I thought that prop was only for the 260's and not 250? https://hartzellprop.com/products/top-prop/piper/comanche-260-260b/ Hartzell doesn't show an applicable prop for 250 Comanches...
