    MT prop from Carl Lee

    Re: MT prop from Carl L Re: MT prop from Carl L Ray, your only choices are the Hartzell 2-blade and Hartzell 3-blade. The same 3-blade is used for 112 and TCs, but STC number is different. Carl showed a little interest in trying to get MT to certify the TCs also, but would take a volunteer...

    Look what came in the Mail

    Re: Look what came in the Mail Luckily, the only time I have seen one of those was in the early days of EKG by modem... FAA thought they were really advanced to send EKG data over the phone lines, but only took a thunderstorm near OKC or your location to skew the data. Even had the cradle to...

    AOPA Webinar on Cuba

    Re: AOPA Webinar on Cuba It's the FCC operator license that does not expire. Mine is dated 1970 and I don't remember paying anything back then... The aircraft Radio Station License does expire and has gotten expensive over the years.

    Re: Hello Florida from 4615W! I lived in Cobb County in the 1980's and that airport was a newly paved strip with lot's of red dirt around and maybe a couple of buildings... Guess I should stop by more often!

    Commander Siblings!!

    Re: Commander Siblings!! Perhaps Sherman is referring to the hub AD which probably started back in the 90's. It is currently AD2009-22-03, with several supercedes before. Requires Eddy Current inspection every 100 hours now, but previously had calendar year provision which would be bad for...

    Commander Siblings!!

    Re: Commander Siblings!! So, after previous post, looked up "halidog" and his aircraft is a 1973 112, so not a B model, which make it very possible that it's a Machen conversion...

    Commander Siblings!!

    Re: Commander Siblings!! Might be a unique bird, as Machen STC for 112s was early in the history of Commanders. They only did a few, maybe 4+ ? Machen discontinued that STC long ago and reportedly would not sell it again. 112Bs didn't appear til 76-77 models? BUT, the cowl and spinner...

    Worked as Advertised

    Re: Worked as Advertised Here's a couple of pictures of my regulator, hose and fittings. These bottles have a standard CGA-580 port; hence the regulator has to mate to that. My regulator is a Victor 250 series, which is just what the local welding shop happened to have. As I remember, I...
