Fly it like you STOL it ♦
So our A&P tasked me with removing my exhaust stacks and muffler in my own hangar getting the wagon ready for new pipes and I thought "I could do this!" I had everything off in a couple of hours with simple hand tools.
Growing up on the farm, I'm a decent shade tree mechanic and understand a bunch about motors. Now I'm semi-retired and spend so much of my time at the airport the thought hit me, "why not apprentice with Ron and get my A&P?" Sure would come in handy.
How hard is it? Steps involved? Apprenticeship? Can an older dude (56) get her done?
