They may have protected those engines in the video but they sure gave the paint on the airplane hell using the unprotected wings as tables.

So reading these posts a few say look how clean the engine is with it. Is it from camgaurd or the oil itself? Maybe its good maintencae , filtration and getting the engine up to temp and hot enough to boil out the moisture. Phillips XC has inhibitors already in it. You would think if the xc...

Scrapped 4 of mine when the airport lost its lease. Just wasn't worth it and had to get them down or after a certain date the landlord would claim possession. 2 of mine had electric service connected. Its not something you just up and move across the field.

But its nice to know who or what was in that bed before you jump in! I'd love to fly and now have all the time in the world but had to take a ssdi and retire because of my back issues. Haven't been able to renew my medical becuase of it. Dealing wth docs and pain mangement and cant get into...

Sad part of this is it seems all the youngers want to be youtube famous. I get it but watching quite a few of them, they seem are too busy in the cockpit , they play with their cameras, phones and pads and hardly look out the windscreen for other traffic but yet they are insurable where as the...

I'll be that''s one of dem there learner pilots over yander. Been a pilot since '87 and I'm not calling students learner pilots .If it offends someone then they need to have a baby on board sticker when they are out there studenting.

sorry to bring up a dying thread but just seen it. We have another issue with the online tax. Most places now collect the tax ,but we are outside city limits. Its 3 % higher in the city than the unincorporated county. We get hit for the extra 3 % because the Zipcode covers both. Someone is...

Maybe its time to start another association.I think they will be too busy worrying about how they are going to find jet fuel in the near future to be bothered with 100ll.

LOL, you got to be kidding. I never knew until now they killed those forums. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm a blue collar worker and had my license since the 80's and several planes. My membership is 149 a year , I have the basic pilot legal added on also, of coarse they change so much i...

I picked up ATIS a few years ago and evidently by coincidence someone blew a tire and they closed the Left runway which is the one I wanted. I noticed when I called tower the controller cleared me to land on right which was on the other side of the airport.Normally i don't have to ask for a...

By turning it over by hand i would think your saving the valve springs relieving the pressure on the ones that are open. Common practice to back the rocker arms off in the racing world when your down for the season if not taking it apart.It also closes the valve.

A lot of the metals you cannot see with the naked eye. Our nickel was down and it just picked up on the last sample, bore scoped and found a issue with a valve guide starting to burn a valve. Couldn't tell on the engine monitor and never physically seen by eye that nickel in the oil. Wouldn't...

I didn't say it does, it will keep working until no more oil will pass through. A oil analysis will report the condition of the oil, but if the filters getting crap in it, you wont know. If you dump the oil at the regular interval and its clean, how do you know the filter isn't holding the debris.

I think its ass backwards to dump the oil and not change inspect the filter. I would rather change the filter and reuse the oil and believe that is the practice on extend oil intervals. Have a analysis done and swap the filter.

If this stands , whats to keep a uniformed LEO that sees you practicing steep turns around a point and decides that's dangerous and wants to lock you up ?

Yes i change my own oil but i don't take it to the service shop and ask to use their rack. You didn't mention in your post you paid for the diagnosis. Many people want free estimates and then want to buy the parts themselves. The fan is no big deal, all you had to do was apply power 120v to...

Just read this thread. Long time lurker but first time poster and going to seem rude but do you take your own eggs to Denny's ? Black thing that spins is scary, playing with a gas furnace and family memebers lives also. Been in the business 40 years although commercial/ industrial, i wouldn't...
