After 30 years of commercial flying and several controller “malfunctions”, I’d say they’re excellent 98% of the time… enough to lull a pilot into a sense of complacency. ...

Regarding #21s emergency landing and ultimate attack on the brick restroom in Mesa yesterday…. The pilots are to be further commended. They were forced to land due to engine problems and had ...

Hi all. Dennis, my CJ has been experiencing the same surge problems. It’s currently finishing up on the conditional inspection and my mechanic checked the prop governor as that was my first su ...

Hi guys. I just checked with the Legal Affairs branch of the NRA re: this atrocious HR45 attempt. The good news is that although this was indeed re-submitted, it currently has absolutely no represen ...

I spoke with the representatives at Dynon and Aspen yesterday after reviewing their products on line. Both claim to have a "bigger, better all-encompassing" system coming out for us in 20 ...

Ooooh, I've missed you guys. LOL

Thanks Brian, Walt, Pappy etc. for the wisdom on uneven fuel flow and bladder tanks. (Thanks also to Linedawg who emailed. He misses his Chang). Walt, I did ...

Gill, Brian, and List,

I had Bill Blackwell install bladder tanks on my Nanchang (formerly Jeff Linebaugh's) over two years ago. M14-P engine. No new fuel gauges. Right now the old gauges h ...
