This is what it used to be like to go to the Bahamas.

Welcome to the group and Commander ownership. KPMP it's a nice airport. I always stop there on the way to the Bahamas .I wanted to go back to the Bahamas again this year too, but have you checked out their new fee structure. There is some threads on the beach owners group of people putting out...

Congratulations - you have way more patience than I. Nice to see it back in the air. Good luck with it!!

Yes - although the stock is readily available I can see how it would be a real problem if you did not have something to work off of.

For anyone who finds this article and reads it in the future, the metal stock for the boarding steps is readily available- aircraft spruce carries it. On a separate note, the article indicates that one of the gear collapsed on landing. It sure appears to me as though they we're never put down.

Nothing should be that clean. I think you need to fly every once in awhile :rolleyes:

You may want to republish that link.

Okay maybe I should retract the suggestion. Venmo is an electronic payment application which is very common here in the States. Did not realize you did not have it there. :(

Maybe it's time to move into this century and dump PayPal. Is it time to move to venmo?

Way cool- I took a plane out of Maui once ( Cherokee ), Flew it around the island and landed it at Molokai. Did a Pitts around Kauai - both very memorable experiences. Especially when you're from Arizona.

I know that this has been an ongoing issue and PayPal will be necessary to register for the fly-in. Is it now resolved?

Thanks for the response - I have changed the lower ones but I guess it's time to consider doing the upper ones so I don't find myself in your situation. Good luck getting it fixed.

Which hose was it that broke on you, The lower hose to the caliper or the hose up in the wheel well at the pivot point?

Had breakfast with him while we were there. Nice guy with a lot of interesting stories. History will remember him well.

Been a couple years - stoped there on our around the USA tour. Stayed here. https://foleyinn.com/ Cute little historic inn walking distance to most things.

Not paranoid - Texas has the grasshopper season. Fly high and carry stuff to clean the mess off. For some reason this has started out as a very buggy spring. Have had to use a pail and sponge on the leading edges after the last three flights. (worst its been in the 20+ years I have owned the...

Hopefully you have two brand new nose gear springs since one sits inside the other :)

The quick zip to pressurize the system when you first start up is not unusual. What is unusual is your comments that there was air in the lines. If that's the case, there has to be some kind of an internal leak as those lines should always be 100% fluid. The system is self-purging and will...

Start by turning the master switch on and listening to see if the pump runs. If the pump doesn't run continuously then there's no need to do anything. Take off with the gear down. Fly it to where you want to go and land. Pulling the breaker and all of the other things suggested are great...
