    Dog Sedation

    My dog has an up coming procedure. Due to his aggressive nature, my vet wants to give me the sedation and inject my dog at home before hand. Is this really doable? My concerned is that I jabbed my dog’s behind incorrectly and end up killing him.

    I ordered a set brake pads from Aircraft Spruce in early November 2023… Anyone know why these are taking so long to ship? What’s causing the shortage?

    Real EstateAttorney

    I’m looking at buying a home from (unlisted) private sale. Will the title company I’m using take care everything or do I need a real estate attorney to review closing documents?

    Magnetic Compass

    I’m reluctant to prop balance. Before the last two flights, I did remove and reinstall the prop 180 degree from last position. Also I have a chopper production and Mx background, I’m not too worried nor a big believer in dynamic balance ‘airplane props’. I’m likely to buy a new compass for 50...

    Magnetic Compass

    I flew yesterday, but will check on the compass with your suggestions on my next flight. I've had this compass for about 20 years now. So I'm starting to believe the fluids are dry and most likely needs servicing. I'll report back in a few weeks. Thanks!

    Magnetic Compass

    Here’s the latest from today’s flight… The compass goes nuts (spinning like crazy) when my engine rpm is above 2500. I brought along a separate compass and nothing happens to this portable compass while I’m running 2500 rpm. At 2400 rpm, the compass is steady and normal.

    I went for flight yesterday.The compass was just spinning like a top through cruise climb and while I leveled at 2500’ MSL for about 15 minutes. Once I cleared the bravo airspace I climbed to 4500’ MSL. The compass held a heading that was only 15 degrees difference from GPS, just gentle slow...

    Vans Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    This may not turn out well for the folks that are waiting for (already paid) kits/parts etc. There's a lot of risk since its not guaranteed when the factory can deliver. If a large portion of customers waiting for their paid for orders do not accept the new pricing, the factory may not recover...
