Re: FAA Medical Reform - and they said it would never happen I agree with Scott, we owe AOPA and EAA thanks for their work on this. I think I will still keep doing the annual stress test though.

Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch Hi Mike - Of course you are welcome. This is for general aviation - there will be a glider and a Cub there as well - and I am trying to create a special Commander awareness. The first seminar on ADS-B starts at 11, the walk around at 12 and the seminar on...

Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch All - Just a final reminder of the KDEC fly in next Saturday. In addition to two WINGS seminars and lunch, there will be Commander "walk around" with Will Gaitros the local IA. Bett and I are also inviting all Commander Pilots and Crews for dinner as our guests...

Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch Good decision Gary. Let's both act adult.

Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch Ich bedanke Mich fur irhe commentar wegen meiner stadt. Given the high class language you use on this forum in describing my town and airport, I can only imagine you must be a Sunday School teacher in real life. I assume also that I should take you off the list...

Re: Motor Mount Jim - You've done some really good investigative work here. Given your findings, it looks like you are going to have the only good source of tubular engine mounts for commanders. Will that eventually include all models?

Re: Motor Mount Jim - This looks very interesting. The people at Aerospace Welding in Minneapolis informed me they still had tooling and could 'repair' any (112 /114) engine mount, but they are not PMA approved for new manufacture. Your project leads me to assume you will be PMA / STC...

Re: Meet-up this Saturday? Hi Scott - we are already committed for this weekend. It sounds like fun. Dennis

Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch Craig - I spoke with the hotel manager this morning and no code is needed; just tell them you are with the Commander Fly-In group and that the sponsor is Gaitros Aviation. The hotel gets 4 out of 5 on the reviews. The rate they gave me this morning is $83/night...

Re: Shimmy Dampers in Production! Jim did a first class job on this. I believe I got the very first unit while it was in beta test phase and it eliminated nose wheel shimmy completely. Well done Jim.

Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch Todd - we will bake you a cake!

Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch You are more than welcome Michael. We can open up all of the Commanders (if the owners agree) and talk shop with my A.I.

Re: Early Summer Fly-In Lunch Mark and John - Happy to hear you both are planning to come. No landing fees or facility fees will apply. There is a Wyndham hotels close to the airport with shuttle service (6AM to 10PM). I will be happy to make reservations when you reach your decision point...
