Pat, I've been out of pocket for awhile. Just got off the phone with Roy Williams and he told me about your bird. I'm real glad everyone was able to walk away. Evidently your "CFI" didn't know the gear on the Commander is a boat anchor. Low level emergency maneuvers are something to do...

Any luck on finding the log entries for the tail and right wing? You can e-mail them to me at planecents@sbcglobal.net Thanks, Craig

Wow, that didn't take long once you put your mind to it. Congratulations Alex!

:eek::rolleyes::cool:

Re: The Unexpected Drop of MP at 12K Ft I have actually had a turbo cable break on TO. It is squirrely but controllable with throttle. Here's something not mentioned that you should do at a minimum of every annual (maintenance manual says 50 hrs.) Disconnect the throttle turbo cable from the...

Re: Oklahoma based Commander? Aw, totally forgot about the 300 series. I shouldn't have though, since the Tanker I mentioned earlier was stationed at Tinker at the time I was on it. Lots of those Frisbees there at that time.

Re: Oklahoma based Commander? Don't you mean state of the art 717's? I crewed this one for awhile.: http://www.boeing.com/news/frontiers/archive/2006/july/i_history.pdf It's now on a pogo stick on McConnell AFB. Welcome to the group!

Re: N1340J to SW Virginia Congrats Landon. Very unique color scheme. I know you'll enjoy many years of Commander ownership. One question. The jet next to you in picture one. Do you know who was there in N2?

Re: MT Propeller No STC for the Black Mac and the 112TC.

Re: Sympathies for our UK Commander comrades over Manchester It takes at least one fibber (read story stretcher/teller) and one joker to make an interesting group. I wouldn't get all excited about the "lips" because in reality it's just a bunch of key strokes and hype. I do appreciate you...

Re: Sympathies for our UK Commander comrades over Manchester I know Scott, your lips were moving. So just so I can categorize myself correctly, am I a slug, the "beat down king" or both? I do have a reputation to uphold you know. :D

Re: New Bumpers... at Last! Early bird special + 1 set + paypal = ok 4 me.

Re: Control Yoke Collars Are you sure your mech hasn't been putting graphite on it?

Re: Elevator Inoculation Short answer is no. Unless you find a suspect crack on the forward side, but there is a super long bolt with a nut plate that allows you to push the doubler back after removing the hinge mount bolts. If there is dye and a line on the aft side with a borescope, probably...

Re: Look what came in the Mail John, glad all is well and the FAA is "ALLOWING" you to fly for another year. After all, who knows your health better than the FEDS. At least you have a letter to take a picture of! You're right though, you don't know until you open it up, if it's denied or...

Re: Grand Oaks Airfield Fly-Out... Ken, I hope you're safe and dry and the turf didn't get too soggy. Getting pretty stoked about the visit to your place to see all the hard work you are putting in. I'm getting so excited, I knocked out the flight plan already! See ya soon.

Re: Wing Root Fairings Great work Carl, looks like she's all ready for the big dance!

Re: Quick EFB Software Poll... I've been using Wing X for a long time. I have been playing with FlyQ a little also recently.

Re: FAA Medical Reform - and they said it would never happen Due to my senility, I don't remember where I read it, but I saw it takes 6 months to enact after the POTUS signs it.

Re: FAA Medical Reform - and they said it would never happen Well, I just sent my packet of BS to OKC. Hopefully nobody gets their feelings hurt and retaliates by disapproving me. Then the PBORII won't mean diddly squat to me. If they don't, life will be a little easier.
