My first exhibition with the Nanchang. Not every day they have you park next to a 150 million dollar aircraft. Flew in formation with 4 other cj6s yesterday to get here. Pretty awesome experience.

My Nanchang has a nice feature where you can hit a second PTT button to over ride the Vox and talk over the intercom without vox. It's nice in a loud cockpit because you can basically turn the squelch so that Vox is off and not have the annoying hissing, and use the button when you want to talk...

Started getting some shimmy at high speed, so took a look at the damper and found a lot of play in it, so I tightened things up and wanted to test it out to see if it worked. Weather was a bit crappy today so I just stayed in the pattern and had some fun. Best news is the damper fix worked...

Made a quick stop at Cedar key in the Nanchang this weekend. @FastEddieB, I don't think 1700 foot will be a big problem. ;)

It'll be a cold day in hell when I buy another certified aircraft. I wasn't planning on doing any avionics work on my Nanchang for the first year. But that plan has already gone up in smoke. The AI that came in the plane was an odd one made in Italy and it's not well supported, so that was...

Mine just up and melted on me. Anybody got one that was working when removed?

Like the title says. If somebody is an expert in avionics or something, is anything stopping them from charging to teach how to use the equipment in flight?

I’m looking for a single round instrument that can do basic gps driven vfr navigation without an external gps source.

I’m really thrilled to think that one day all of the unsightly gas stations will be replaced by huge parking lots that take up 10 x the space.

This beauty followed me home recently and I decided to keep her. More to come as the adventure unfolds....

Let’s say you get cleared for an approach to get below the deck at an untowered airport, but it’s to the downwind runway or there’s a bunch of vfr traffic in the pattern going the other way. The most simple way is to just cancel ifr once you get below the clouds, but what if you want to keep...

Just started last week for me. About 2/3 times I come to the site it doesn't know who I am.

Creative suggestions appreciated. I could almost sum up my requirement as a fixed gear experimental turbo Mooney. A velocity would cover it except for the retracts and runway issues. 1. SEL 2. Experimental 3. Minimum 2 seats 4. Fast (negotiable but is a high priority) 5. Reasonably economical...

Assuming a naturally aspirated engine. What's a "normal" loss of pressure if the intake filter is clean and everything is working properly. It's obviously going to be "a little" lower than ambient, but I can't seem to find anything on what is a typical "good" number. My IO-540 seems to be about...

So, I'm up in Alaska on a cruise. Had a flight set up with a local instructor, but it fell through (that's a whole story in itself that I don't feel like telling, but if someone wants a PIREP on flying in Juneau I will share privately). Back to the important stuff. I was really disappointed...

You are a CFI. You do not currently meet the requirements for night flight with passengers. (Less than 3 landings in the last 90 days) Can you instruct a private student pilot, at night, if they are night current, and they remain sole manipulator of the controls?

As most of you know, we had an off field landing in our Mooney last year. http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2022/01/mooney-m20c-n79396-incident-occurred.html I acquired the salvage and have many parts available. I've begun the disassembly, and will be posting images of things that are available...
