Sure hate to see that George, that was a great museum. We wondered how it had faired....at least the building is mostly intact. How did you and Jamie make out??? Hope you didn't get much damage. How about your plane?

Well this is the Quitest Petit Jean Crowd Ever! 8) This will be the 5th Annual Petit Jean! Just about everyone, including Traci & I, know what to expect! It's gotten so automatic that I called the lodge to find out if anyone's coming! HELLO! :lol: Crawford, Bickford, Coats, Pulley, Helgeson, Wi...

Miles , go ahead and do it, you overhauled your engine and this mod is not near as bad as doing that. The worst part is making that first cut. After that, you have to finish it. I did mine back in 1984 when the feds were more field approval friendly. It also helped that Randy Martin (FAA inspector a...

There are some that look real similar on http://www.planetautoparts.net. They call them vintage automotive switches and are 12 volt on-off slide switches. ***

A little bit off the subject, years ago and I don't even recall the person or the fly in, he had a badly leaking quick drain. No one had a spare drain or a O-ring. We pulled the drain out (while someone held their thumb over the hole). The O-ring was completely gone. I happened to have some silk thr...

Wow from the liberals to the conservatives, we have heard it all here ....the good...the bad....and the ugly.

Several years ago taking off in a Cherokee 140 with four guys, full fuel and overnight bags on a 90 degree day was pretty memorable. Yes.....we made it!

The flight back in 1958 in las Vegas where two guys remained aloft in a 172 for 64 days, 22 hours 19 minutes and 5 seconds gotta be there someplace. usually about three hours at a time is enough for me.

If I remember right, I think John Benham talked about this years ago. It seem like his fix was to weld a AN3 bolt to the old hinge body after removing the old broken part of course. Then drilling down through the bolt to accept the hinge pin, and then filing away the part where the two hinge halves ...

You know, Old pokey, yours started out as a nice safe airplane and someone turned it into a monster .

Hi All, I read these posts from time to time, but hardly ever respond. However on the groundloop issue, I do have a couple comments. Having flown a 170 going on 37 years, I can tell you it is not hours and experience or even out of tolerance landing gear alignment that determines your chances for a ...
