One thing that we all can do is work to keep the Brokers honest. Every year, but one, it seems the rates went up for the same coverage policy. I got different answers every time for the increase. ...

One thing I found after awhile running the James cowl and plenum was that in flight the plenum would pressurize and rise up in the front, and was even rubbing on the cowl. Once I realized what was ...

I would try to check all the connections from your sender all the way back to the EIS. It turned out I had a failed "but" connector under my panel. Maybe in flight it vibrates, then as t ...

After validating my oil PSI was ok with a mechanical gauge. I then began to hunt for the cause of my oil PSI going up to 99 PSI. What I found was that I had a failure in the one wire that comes o ...

Ok Guys, finally got the Oil PSi. sender changed today, and now am even more confused.
Upon start, the Oil psi was at 99 psi and stayed there. I did a 5-7 minute engine run, and the psi never cha ...

Hey guys, I went out flying this weekend and had a strange rise in oil psi. Ist, I have a BPE, IO-540. 222 hrs. I was at 4500 msl when I glanced over to see my oil psi at 91 psi. Within a minute ...

Just my opinion, but if you are anywhere near lightning, then you are taking added risk that is unnecessary. Where there is lightning there is way to much convective activity. I would never put m ...

On my last conditional, I found, of course some wear in on the main bearings. But I also found that both main wheel pant brackets had excessive slop in the mounting hardware. The nuts had not loo ...

Yep, I am on my 3rd. one. I have just over 215 TT. Sure wish they were more robust!!

I made around 275 hrs. on brakes, but one pad was just barely serviceable, wont go that long again. My tires are still good at 308 hrs. My new landing procedure will be to roll out more, save some ...

Mine had areas that were a little proud of T.E. Once riveted, just gently file down that sharp edge if you want. That way paint will adhere better, and when the little ones run there noggin into ...

I am not sure, but you have confused me with someone else. I dont want to
split anything, I have no partner, just me.

I made mine out of 1/2" wood dowel and a wood screw, then painted them

Just got back after 2 nights at OSH. It was great to see so many fine
looking RV-10's. I think I was the only one to not be painted, but with a
little luck, I am of to the paint shop in the next ...

Yep, mine did that also. The 1st. time was from a firm landing with a
heavy airplane and aft c.g. It tore up the back bottom area of both main
wheel pants. A veteran RV builder had told me tha ...

Also remember that you do have to go online and take a TEST in order to fly within 60 n.m. of KDCA. And then of course either file a special VFR flight plan or file IFR to go within the 30 n.m. ra ...

Gee you don't say Pascal, thanks for the schooling. I don't think I am the
first one to make a posting mistake. I have kids also, but they don't read
my e-mail for one. I can see the mistake I ...

Fuck off and remove me from your list you scum sucker!!
