Sal,
My suggestion would be to just rent an airplane when you want to fly and forget about owning till later. If you own, you are responsible for insurance, hangar, annual inspections - including...
I have a Continental A65 engine for sale. It has about 600 hours since an old overhaul. The cylinders have been removed and rebuilt by Brown Aviation in Tulsa, OK. They were chromed back to...
Bill,
I agree, it is surprising that so many people are afraid to fly. I used to fly for several different airlines. I often would commute, riding in the back of an airliner in uniform. It was...
Brian,
Hearing your thoughts on the value of a $70 ride in the EAA's Ford Trimotor reminded me of a conversation I had with a guy about joining my local EAA Chapter. He asked me, "well for that...
Marty,
I would not show them anything they didn't ask for. The more you show them, the more they will dig. Of course, keeping your ducks in a row is the best policy. But you never know when...
What is the best way to break in a new engine with steel cylinders. I always thought you wanted to baby steel cylinders by running at a lower rpm as much as you could, and run chrome cylinders as...
At my airport ultralights fly the pattern on the opposite side of the field from everyone else. They also have a certain spot in the grass they land on. It works well.
H.A.S. I have read your posts on the video about the guy who crashed and also about taking passengers up. I find your viewpoints very interesting. I also find what you posted about having 6 engine...
I agree with David, the flight should have never left the ground. My heart goes out to the families of the deceased, but the pilot should not have taken the risks he did that day. Those who do not...
Mike,

Lots of pictures!!! I went to the hardware section, clicked on plugs and caps on this page; http://spenceraircraft.com/hardware/plastic-caps-plugs.html. Getting the wrong part is such a pita. ...
Taylorman,
Since it is so close to you, I suggest you try to attend the annual Taylorcraft fly-in held in or near Columbia, CA every year. It is usually the second weekend in May, near Mother's...
There is no reason to use sandpaper, no matter how fine of a grit, on a "recent" paint job, unless you have runs in it. I have an aircraft covered with the AirTech Coatings Process and it looks great...
The carb is a 10-2983. I have been told it fits a Lycoming O235, but not sure what models.
I don't believe Ebay is the best solution for determining what something is worth. The problem I see with Ebay is that your ad is only exposed to the few people who have time to peruse their...
I have a Marvel Schebler MA3A carburetor. I don't need it, so I thought I would put it on Barnstormers. But I have no idea of what it is worth. It is all there, but hasn't been on an airplane in...
Bill,
Your description of the particles sounded like bits of threads from a bolt, or a bolt hole. Did your mechanic mention anything about any striped threads? If so, I would keep flying and...

How about a length of small diameter nylon or ptfe tubing? You stick it into the tank, put your thumb over the end, and pull the tube out.
The small Continentals are easy to work on. Split the case and fly with peace of mind.
I have used the Micro Mesh kit to restore a scratched up windshield. But for what you are describing, I would use Novus #2 polish followed by some #1. They also make a #3 polish, which has a more...
If you use Imron to paint your airplane, you will be lucky if it stays attached for five years. Imron is very brittle. I would never use it to paint an airplane. Air Tech Coatings and Polyfiber...
Purple,
I think someone gave you some bad info. Your checklist is filled with instructions for a disaster. Below is a list of things I see that are disasters looking for a place to happen. ...
