All I ask is for the aircraft to come out of this better than it went in, I owe it this much. I hope it dosn't come to a pi##ing contest between the airport and my insurance co with me in the middle. I think what it comes down to here is who is the damaged party, Heck my 170 was napping Peacifully ...

I have not seen any Cleveland installation instructions that did not call for the flex line. I did have a friend in Bellingham that put together a 170 with all solid lines and after I clued him in he promptly corrected it. You experienced a good example of what can happen when someone ignores the pr...

Okay I'll chime in on this one. On 18A, since all you need is the bottom bolts, I milled off the angle part so that all I had was a flat mount. This allowed me to set the mount forward or aft. Aft it would be tighter to your headset when stowed and forward didn't get the little piece of windshield u...

ADC/Oberg and Caphart and others were written up several years ago by TBO Advisor. Lots of lab-test data was quoted, and results indicated the best filter (Ram) was overpriced. The next best was the standard Champions. The least effective in filtration were the others. In fact, they were derided as...

Re: Oil filter ADC
What type oil filters are being used on members aircraft ? Anyone using the ADC oil filter system ? Pros and cons about this system ? Is it worth $675 ? I assume you're really talking about the Oberg filter: http://www.aviationdevelopment.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.100.exe/online-store/scstore/sitepage...

In all fairness, even the original C-145/O-300 eventually will develop a crack or two (or three) in the metal nose bowl after 50 years or so. Usually the fix is to stop drill it, add a doubler, and/or backfill it with epoxy and wire. (The rolled edges of the cowl openings are not noted for being cr...
