Looking for something else I found the following quoted vermatim from our airplane's 1940s "MANUAL OF MAINTENANCE" UNCRATING: See that the crate is placed right side up as marked and that there is sufficient room to layout the various components as they are unpacked. Open both sides of the...

How, or does it differ from a W72CK44? (I know the W was added in '68 or so.) Does that K mean anything? The specs look identical. An old copy of P-170 doesn't list the CK and new revisions list both but with fewer applications and...

For some reason lots of guys offer to let me manipulate their sticks... Or yokes as the case may be. But I like sticks better... You know... Than yokes. (I mean, I have a Luscombe after all.) Today I got a ride in a Porterfield... This one was quite nice and it flew like a light weight...

I recently purchased part of an 8A... It was an aircraft well known to me and it was undergoing a rather major annual, which explains how the funds I had available to invest got me in the door. (I just completed my Private in a Taylorcraft, so I am "untainted" by electrical systems or...
