Re: Friends don't let friends fly IFR As has been said IFR is used so seldom the idea of using it a very few times is not worth it. I fly so I can sight see at the same time. On top is good for some trips but it is not the same. My rule is simple I never have to be anywhere at a certain time...

Re: FAA & BMI: MUCH AD0-doo about nothing The mere hint of a new regulation/policy/rule is cause for concern and Jim nailed it and I too agree with him. What may not apply to you today could in the future. An out of the blue policy by one person is incredible and it needs to be brought to the...

Re: Small clips in time 31 hr Journey to T82 Lots of fog too but it seems to burn off around noon or so. Puyullap or Yakima might be a good place to meet up some weekend. If the gorge is clear then the chances are good for the east side. Coming from Wenatchee to Yakima might be easier if...

Re: Nice fall weather, short video in to Seattle I had my experience flying through Death Valley in my Cherokee 140 during one spring. It was horrible and at times I did not have control. I landed in Reno around 1pm and stayed on the ground until the next day. I agree that the Commander...

Re: Nice fall weather, short video in to Seattle Brian, I had to go to Wenatchee several times this year. Getting down to the airport which sits just below the mountains it makes it very interesting. To land on 30 I drop down about 15 plus miles east and follow the river back west. For 12...

Re: Fredericksburg fly-in events Tim -- that is the route I would take also with a small change. Although there is nothing wrong with going to Pocatello-(go around some rocks) I would go to Logan for fuel and then I would fuel at Laramie.

Re: Fredericksburg fly-in events Brian, The WX here is the same and really bad. It is coming from the SW which is unusual for this time of year. Lots of wind and on the coast it was above 60 mph. Setting all kinds of rain records as if we don't get enough already. The snow line is really...

Re: Nosara Adventure That video is what is rather remarkable about GA. Great views of the countryside of different countries. Hope you post some more of those. Your landing must have been awful smooth no herky jerky in the camera.

Great. Tim has a great airplane. Hope the comfort level was ok for you. Give me a call or email to see my airplane. I am available almost any afternoon. Here is my email address - easier than PM. Airplaneshow@yahoo.com

Re: New Member If you havn't met up with Tim yet let me know. Mine is based at Pearson and if you live by Vancouver Lake we are about a mile apart and I am North of you. Be glad to show you my Commander. If I can I will send you a PM.

Re: New member and proud new owner It is interesting how the N numbers were assigned. 1976 114 S.N 14003 N114BL 1976 114 S.N 14082 N114BM My 1976 114 S.N 14021 N ended in a J before the number was changed.

Re: Fin Rib Kits Jim, Thanks for the explanation regarding the additional rivet. Frank

Re: Fin Rib Kits Jim R. I have 11 rivets in the 2nd row and you are having 12 installed. Why the 12th one? If it is required can the 12th rivet be installed and accomplish what you are having done on the new stuff?

Re: Fin Rib Kits Dan -Here are some more photos of my 1976 Commander tail and hopefully they are better than the others I posted. I took these yesterday. You can see the top row is below the black rubber same as yours. My 2nd row is mostly in the blue stripe.

Re: Fin Rib Kits Here a couple of pictures. You have to zoom in to see the rivets. There are 11 rivets as Jim mentioned in his post in the 2nd row. (Sorry about the view but I think you can see where the rivets are). The first row is just below the black rubber and the second row is at the top...

Re: Fin Rib Kits Jim thanks for the summary and the info. Mine has the double row of rivets - thank goodness.

Re: 2011 Sedona Fly-In News I was going to go to Sedona. Been there before and it is a great place. Got my insurance requirements out of the way last year at 57AZ and it is not far from Sedona. Has a very good restaurant on the field. However our Airport Appreciation Day is 9/24. I might be...

Re: Elevator Inoculation When I had my elevators off I personnally did some looking at the tail area. In fact, quite a bit of looking. Used mirrors, scopes, flashlights just about everything I could think of to look at every nook and cranny. During one of those lookings I saw what I thought...
