Yesterday, that got my attention! 50' and climbing then bam, power reduction to the teens. I swapped to the left and then it was business as normal. I flew for about 30 minutes with no further problems....
I have never owned a Piper Pacer before. I flew the plane in on a weak 0290 125hp Lycoming. I was not impressed with the control/responsiveness of the plane but think that vortex generators and a larger...
Hello everyone, I have not posted in a very long time or even logged in for that matter. I have lurked a few times but that is it. I am ready to get back to the basics, and want to start doing some back...
I agree that the early model 172s are a lot of plane for the money. A comm radio, and transponder is all you really need. All the other stuff in the radio rack is just fluff and extra obsolete weight....
I'm thinking of a large tarp over the wing. Maybe one on both sides. How does that work out? Seems like it would kill two birds with one stone. Place to sleep and kill lift.
I like the photo of the Tern on floats a couple post back. That makes my blood flow. Yes it is a similar airfoil to the tcraft. I undersrand that it is slightly longer in the chord. Flaps would make...
I sure hope there is room for a couple more cadets out there. One is all I want for now. I like the L-6 style with 90hp, suits me just fine. Although with 160hp it would be a hoss.
I just got back from up north last week with three Interstate Cadet projects. When I purchased the projects I was told there was a lycoming engine mount and fiberglass cowling. Pretty cool I thought at...
Flying taildraggers makes you a better pilot, just as learning acro makes you a better pilot also. The more well rounded you are, the more capable you will become. This does not mean that trike pilots...
Luscombe, C-140, Chief, taylorcraft all with tested tryed and true engines. Flying safely for decades with billions of hours. The folding wing thing is a farse. Your plane needs to be at the airport ready...
Do not miss the point. "Pilots who learn to fly tail wheel airplanes are better stick and rudder pilots". They also transition to other aircraft faster, and are more competent controling the airplane for...
I am curious to see if there is any change (i would not think so) but curious anyway. In south texas an oil filter will make an engine run hotter though!
