What a great idea.
Loctite 567 is the best I've found. Never had a pipe fitting leak with this stuff, oil, fuel even brake lines. One little tube goes a long way. I like Fuel Lube (now marketed as "Turn") as well....
If the FAA has the catch all "91.13 (a) Careless or reckless operation" that can be used in almost any circumstance. I don't think they would have a problem making a case against a pilot that flies...
This is another wing storage option, especially for those that find themselves working on their plane more than watching TV.

From a sellers point of view, "non-refundable deposit" is pretty clear. It's not the sellers fault the buyer was not able to get financing. $5000 is a pretty big deposit. Normally earnest money on a...
You might try Lexan (polycarbonate). The thin stuff, .030" , is very flexible and easier to cut and drill than plex. No molds, no oven needed. You can buy it locally or order it from companies like...

If you want to eat hot food or drinks your going to need something to cook with. You can spend $150 on a multi-fuel stove so you can burn auto fuel or Avgas but for just a few overnight trips you...

If you do a Google search for "Buying a used homebuilt" you will get multiple links to magazine articles, forum posts, ect. Lots of information there, you will have to decide what is useful and what...

I bought one of these Terapumps from Amazon last year. I used it for about 70 hours of flight time on my plane (5-6 gph) and it still works fine. It lift's the fuel from the ground to the tank in the...
The atmospheric conditions that are most likely to promote carb ice are temp 25-65f and humidity 65-100%. Keep in mind that it's not just a matter of the cool air/venturi, it's also the fuel being...
I wouldn't bother buying the anchors that look like an oversized cork screw. They are OK for a light lateral load like tying down your dog, but they will pull right out under a vertical load created...
I have a Dremel Multi Max tool, it's pretty handy for lots of applications but I don't remember any blades with a 90 degree angle. Most of the blades are not very long so if you did bend one I'm...
Here's a link to the FAA website with the current status for filing flight plans. Basically it says you can still use the standard Flight Plan format for domestic flights but you must use the ICAO...

I used this company to make the custom vinyl strips for my Highlander. As you can see in the photo it's a very simple design but the company also makes full stripe kits...
Sun N Fun is a lot like Oshkosh only smaller. I've been to Oshkosh once. I flew a Beaver from Alaska to the show, worked the display for the week, then flew the Beaver back to Alaska. I had a great...
I'm a CFII so maybe I'm not the most objective guy on this thread. That said, I have a question for the proponents of Basic IFR/IFR Lite idea. What instrument skills, knowledge and proficiency...
Have you spoken to the folks at your local flight school? They may not offer Sport Pilot training because the company does not own a plane the meets the sport pilot criteria. That doesn't mean they...
I did not say there was a "need" for a student to take 60 hours to get a PP Certificate. I said that was about the average time it takes. There are lots of reasons it ends up taking longer. Such as;...
