    New Shimmy Dampners

    Finally got to hangar again. Didn't get a chance to fly but did get to check a few things 1) hadnt checked nose tire pressure since Feb. Found it sitting around 34. Pumped it back up to 50. That likely did it, 2) i did check play in the torque links. Real snug at the bottom - not much play...

    New Shimmy Dampners

    ok. My turn. Experienced a shimmy on roll-out today. Going after this in this order - replace the bushings on the nose scissors. Will get the service kit from Jim - I already have the new shimmy damper - will install this as well. Why wait. Fair ? Anything else i am missing ..

    Advice for Washington DC

    Alternate : Fly into KILM (Wilmington). And take a 1.2 hour ACELA into Washington , Union Station and avoid all drama :) Acela (Amtrak) station is 10 mins from the airport.

    Advice for Washington DC

    I used to go into DCA - but that was a different time. Friends and then GF in Georgetown. Life was good. Fast-forward 20 yrs. IAD is a decent option for convenience. it isnt as good as DCA but i still like it. IFR in. Pros : Convenient. You can still Uber from here without breaking the...

    hi Please re-post your question - dont use any special characters in the Subject. Forum software doesnt like it. Reading your post below though- your engine is simply "Dieseling". You probably taxied in or operated too rich - you have unburnt fuel. Quick response when it does that is to...

    Repatriation of Commander from Europe.

    I just took a look. For all that equipment - thats good value. I'd never list mine for that. If that plane has no gremlins , i might buy it as a 100% flying parts spare for my TC :) Judi - whose bird was that ?

    New Gear Pumps

    Fuselage, wings to go .. I think i've figured out your evil plan. Reproduce every component of the airplanes as re-produced so we can put a whole new serial # up - all produced from Jim Richards parts. Might as well be you - as the outfit in Oklahoma won't ...

    Hmm. So Miami beach is hard. I was based at KOPF and managed to get a monthly rate from the FBO there. I used to be at Miami exec - but thats now signature - so no thank you. This past winter i was at Fontainebleau. The daily ramp rate is around $45-$50 per night. Kinda steep. Fuel is $5-$6. I...

    New Gear Pumps

    Supportive of the project. I've never had to replace my hydraulic power pack - 40+ yrs on my bird (20 under my supervision). I would rather put in new than overhaul mine when the time comes.
