    Home Breaker Panel - Riddle Me This!

    Typically a Sub-panel would be fed like this... (not my image, this is a quick find from Google) White is neutral, ground is to separate ground bar, Black and Red feed each side of the bus.

    Home Breaker Panel - Riddle Me This!

    Ouch.... yea,.. this is a little out there. He only brought over 1 pole from the main house. First, it is a sub-panel, and the small white neutrals and grounds are not permitted to be on the same bar. Sub-panels are not to be bonded. Fix there would be to have a small bar screwed to the...

    Yet another logging question.

    Ed, I think you need a new flow chart created for this, there may be lots of variables.

    Looks like it pancaked in too,.... the fence is still standing in those photos/video, and doesn't appear to be marks on the road..... Mooney? from the shape of wing and tail,.... horrifying to see the covering they have,... God speed to those involved and prayers for the families.

    October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

    Down at Assateague Island this summer I took my daughter Kayaking at Ayer's Creek Adventures. She had a great time, and when we got back there was a Pink kayak as a raffle to raise money. We entered, and didn't think much of it at the time. Well,... this past weekend they had the raffle and...

    To answer a few questions: 1) Newer 2 strokes, but simple and reliable. Mine has a Walbro WG8 diaphragm pump carb, others have Bing Carbs with float bowls. Those you see fiddling are often chasing a setting on the mixture cause they keep messing with it. I'm still in the early part of...

    PPG - First Flights

    I watched the foot launch and trikes / quads at OSH and online, and found for me that Foot Launch was a very portable way to fly and I am able to (no bad knees, ankles, etc). I have my paraglider in the stuff sack and put it on the backseat or in the trunk of my car, and the engine/cage goes on...

    Thanks Ted, that means a lot coming from you. This has been a blast, and I am just getting started. Currently I am flying out of a field/park in Frazier/Exton area north of Brandywine Airport a few miles. Soon, when I venture out on my own, I'll go meet some guys at Van Sant, Kolb, and even...

    PPG - First Flights

    I have not been around much here on the POA forums as an active poster in the past few years, but I still visit to see what all you guys are up to and the trips, posts, gatherings you do. October 22, 2011 was my last PIC flight in General Aviation. I lasted about a year after my third daughter...

    Why Did you stop/start ?

    Been flying something (Control Line, RC, Gliders, ) for as long as I can remember. Flew Gliders in College, and then went on to get my Private in 2008. Obtained my Private, Tailwheel (most fun and rewarding) and then started my Instrument when SURPRISE,... Daughter #3 is on her way. Was able...

    12th Annual N40 H.O.P.S. Party, Wed, 7/30/14

    I wore my shirt from 2012 just the other day. With good luck, I'll be able to join you again next year at the 2015 show! Wife said I can return and bring my daughter, so may be a road trip with our popup back to Camp Scholler instead of the motorcycle, but hey, I'll be there!

    Need to make a canopy cover

    Another vote for Bruce's covers, they make really nice ones, but it took a while to get the one for the C172 when we had one done. Another thought may be a cloth/canvas painters drop cloth. May be able to cut it to fit nicely without tear/fraying and use those tarp plastic clips to attach a...
