Perhaps don't touch the gear handle after you lift off and let the down lock check valve do its job? Are you concerned about an internal hyd leak? When you hit the master, did/do you get the normal "zip" of the pump initially building gear down pressure in the system? Of course, once that...

Pricing on Carl’s fibreglas option looks pretty attractive. If you want to investigate rebuilding/repairing your damaged unit, you might take some photos and send them to Roy Williams with Airframe Components by Williams in Kendallville, IN. He can really work some magic. Off topic,…. Roy is...

This is a real loss to the aviation community. Always a voice of reason.

Those of you planning to rent cars,…. Advice from the FBO (First Flight) is that you will likely have best luck getting car delivered to FBO If you use Enterprise just up the street from the airport. Hertz may deliver if you are Gold member.

Attendees Few items of note… 1. Your registration packets will be available at the Hilton Garden Inn. 2. Aircraft parking will be some on ramp and some in the grass. (Airport is having grass mowed just before we arrive). It has been (and is currently forecast to be ) quite dry in this area...

The agenda remains in flux. At last check, Garmin, Carl Lee, Phil Camarda were making presentations and answering questions. I anticipate that we will have (as usual) a Stump the Chumps session with unstructured Q&A exchanges with group emeritus wizards. With the USAF Museum tours being on the...

Couple of issues... the problem with the confirmations for the Hilton Garden Inn in Austin Landing emailing as confirmations for Ft. Collins/Loveland, CO is a bit of a sticky wicket. The website host made some significant upgrades to their cyber security protocols and those have made making...
