Gotta love field approvals. Had one for 8.50s on 6 inch Clevelands, then another for the Cleveland double puck brakes on 6 inch Clevelands with 8.50s... But what if I try to reinstall the 7.00 tires which had been reinstalled after the field approval for the 8.50 tires on six inch Clevalands but had...

Made of titanium, yes, but only if you can determine the present location of the stock belonging to the former XP Mods

Not to beat a dead horse (I see this is a month old), but I use my Ipad 2 with Foreflight exclusively for in cockpit GPS. What it can't do: DME- it only gives you distance to the next waypoint, so you can't just ask it how far away something is Moving Map- the map doesn't move on its own, you have ...

Thirty-seven. My first and so far my last plane, below.

But I had owned two boats in my twenties, and so I figured my experiences with pain and regret were sufficient to merit aircraft ownership.

It does have a cruise prop on it, because the owner had it on skis at one point and decided that was the best prop for it then. Say what? 8O Must be an entirely different type of ski flying than what I am familiar with. Perhaps downhill? :lol: You (or he) might have it back a...er, backwards. In Al...

Like Tim I don't have broadcast TV. What my wife and I watch is mostly movies on the Internet, or DVD's. I could have Dish Network but we choose not to. Yes, I suppose Alaska pilots view these two new shows differently, just like Alaskans viewed Sarah Palin's show differently than most others. The p...

So which IA signed off on an annual inspection last year (and the year before that, and the year before that...?)

I got my last two cylinders from Bruce. But for most parts I go to: Franklin Engine Company 300 Private Road 5881A Jewett, TX 75846-5601 Phone: (903) 626-5210 Fax: (903) 626-6658 Toll Free: (866) 731-1037 susan@franklinparts.com Also, Univair carries many Franklin parts. they are showing three diffe...

Eh? What's that ?

I'd take one Imhofe over ten Oberstars in the committee chair. And I'm a dyed in the wool Democrat! But the "NOTAMS are for little people" speech turned me WAY off. I think he needs a 709 ride from the district's youngest, newest inspector. Make him rent a 152 for it :lol: As for taking of...

I don't like statistics. Statistically speaking behind only Alaska commercial fisherman, who are nuts BTW, I have the most dangerous job. Actually I heard the other day that National Park Service employees now have the "most dangerous job" in Alaska because the fatality rate is now higher...

At least there is only one engine for each plane. You're not completely out of your mind.

Though some of the fire bombing scenes are unrealistic. But what else is new?

I'm all for requiring liability insurance, but I fail to see how that would encourage compliance any more than requiring a license, BFR, medical, and annual inspection. INsurance policies require currency in training, medical certs, and annual inspections for validity. Yes, but have you ever heard ...
