    [NA]Car engine oil

    I own an auto repair shop. We fix late model Toyota hybrids. I used to agree with most of the people on here about synthetic and then I bought a lightsport airplane and got my rotax factory certification. We see all kinds of oil burning and sludge problems in late model cars. There are...

    Struggling to Land the Plane

    From the sounds of it you are too fast. pic is from POH. What helped me is thinking about landings as not trying to land. Try to keep the runway 6 inches below the tires. If the power is off and you just keep that six inches, it will eventually land itself.....

    Does anyone here know any of the people who live adjacent to the Ilwaco WA strip?

    I was there today contemplating leaving my airplane parked at the public tie downs for a week while we camp ten minutes away. Not very secure. Probably fine but probably could be better. There are several homes with hangars and I would feel much better parking by someones house rather then...

    Any insights into Crescent City (KCEC) or KBOK (Brookings)?

    Watch the airport slope at KBOK and plan accordingly. Also some downdrafts off the downhill end. Can also be real windy as it's the coast.... Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    For Sale Garmin 430w, Century HSI, and some other stuff

    All came out of my airplane that was groundlooped and totalled. The Century had an overhaul to the tune of $3200 4 hours before the incident. Maps in 430 updated in 2017. There is some other good stuff here as well. I have attached a photo of the complete panel if anyone wants other stuff in the...

    When Did (Car) Brake Jobs Become So Expensive?

    This is the truth. I own a hybrid and electric car repair shop. Most modern Toyota hybrids go over 150,000 miles on the original brakes. When lights come on the dashboard there's not much that you can do with an OBD2 scanner on a hybrid. We need specialized equipment and specialized training...

    About That Sport Pilot Thing: The State Of Stuff

    I think Dale is spot on. I got my sport pilot and there a zero rental airplanes around. So I bought one. People bag on LSA and I just add up the costs. I am flying for under $35 an hour by my math..... I would buy an RV and train in it locally. You can always get your private later and sell the...

    How do aircraft fuel injection systems work?

    If you read the history and evolution of the Bosch systems from K-Jet to K-jet with lambda (oxygen sensor) through LH to motronic, all this makes sense. L Jet has a flapper air measuring system, LH has a hotwire mass airflow but still sprays all four injectors at the same time. Motronic combined...
