Re: Look out Del! part two

Five inches of light and fluffy in three hours here. Just no place to put it. Piles are astronomical. Both the field where my 170 is and the one with my Champ have have both stopped plowing - no place to put the snow and the banks are to high. The cost to plow for the few based planes that fly this ...

Re: Securing rudder when tied down outside

I have the same control lock - it is easy to use and it is great with the elevator and aerolons. After putting it on go walk to the tail and try to move the rudder left and right. I think you will be adding a twine rudder holder as the control lock does not stop the wind from beating the rudder to d...

Re: FAA Registration Errors

Just bought a champ. It was converted from a 7AC to a 7DC with all the paperwork. All regrestrations sense conversion have said 7AC/Conv 7DC and it has an 85 engine. Shows as a 7AC with a 65/75 engine. I wonder if it is entered as it came from factory or if they just don't care. It flies great so I ...
