WJ,
I'm out of town and just got on a computer....the horses are doing fine, but like allot of us can't wait for spring to get here...and in their cases, can't wait for the grass to get growing....

Abe, I still am curious about this matter because 5/16" nylon rope is only rated at 192 lbs. (5/16 is still not as robust as 1/2" which is rated at 1200 breaking.) I know how we all enjoy our airplanes so we've went a bit further and use mountain climbing rope in our kits and hence the hi...

Thanks for the catch BL, it is 5/16...That would be some real stout 3/16....

Kyle, This is an area that I have a bit of experience as I produce aviation tie down kits...now I'm not advertising George...only going to try and answer the posted question. :wink: ..I've found that 14' ropes work well for the majority of wing tie downs and 8' for tying tail sections down...There a...

A retired fish bio friend of mine is quite a photographer and took these photos just to show that not everyone needs a fishing license to enjoy the sport of fly fishing.....enjoy

Like Ole Pokey, I just went online and had my certificate reissued and took my SS# off and added the English Profiecency notice also....I must say is was quit easy, even for those of us who can get computer challenged from time to time... :) ... and at no charge... :) ...Thanks for the heads up gent...

Wow, diddo George's comments on your generocity.....let's see....$5.60 here with blowing snow vs $2.59 in warm and sunny Lake Havasu City....Heck, I might be making a flight south here lately instead of going Chukar hunting...

Folks I am sadden by all that have replied to this individual that flys his aircraft with this problem. Not one of you made a recommendation:To not fly this aircraft till it was resolved. Canav8, I appreciate your thoughts on this matter and I'm saddened by your friend's death, but noone but me kne...

Well, it's been awhile since I started looking for the culpit causing the fluttering amp. On one of the snowy days here recentely, I started looking at what kinda work was going to be envolved in installing new wing tip strobes....I had the right wing tip off and was measuring things and found a gro...

Thanks gentlemen for the great advise....Sounds quit doable....Looks like I just found me another winter hangar project when I'm not able to fly into Hell's Canyon to do some fishing...I'll see if I can't get our local IA to sign it off and I'll do the grunt work....

For those of us who have the original nav lights on our wing tips and want to go to the strobes w/nav lights, I've heard that you have to run a heavier wire to the new strobes the length of the wings to handle the heavier electrical load of the wingtip strobe system. Our local AI said it was bugger ...

Nice place Joe....It's nice to see your place after you telling us about it up at Minam Lodge....if I get some carb ice can a guy make an emergency landing to check things out....the plane that is....Hell, I may even have some stale ale in the ailing plane....any chance of getting the lat & lon....

I've nearly gave up on my "Fluttering Amp Meter" I mentioned awhile back in the forum, but I now have a new lead to follow....Thanks for the info George....

JR, somehow I've always associated you with Washington State, but when I first got my 170B, I dinged the wing tip up on my first flight with my wife :oops: and we sent my left wing to a gentleman in Omak, WA (Bill ??). He did a great job and found a bunch of bad work inside of the wing when he was f...

I'm looking for some info from folks who are current owners of a hanger that is part of a condo hanger association. We are looking for some guidance on who to go to get the condo association bylaws written up. We have a hanger building that has 5-hangers within that we are going to condo out. I woul...
