    MT Propeller

    Re: MT Propeller Don't know about other TC owners, but I will need some type of prop change sometime soon. I still have Eddy Current AD on my 2-blade and would like to replace it. Hartzell has same 3 blade propeller for 112 and TC; however, the STC number is different. I also have...

    112 Hot Shot

    Re: 112 Hot Shot "Service ceiling" is a physical limit where rate of climb has decreased to about 100fpm. I don't think there is any legal restriction there. It becomes operational because you're not going to get much higher... In the context of turbo-charged aircraft the term "Maximum...

    Info on IO-540 STC

    Re: Info on IO-540 STC I expect your 540 STC was Machen, who did a few many years ago and no longer have any interest? I don't think you'll get an IO-540 option. You chose a good forum for this post and should contact Jim Richards at Aerodyme to discuss his options.

    Friends don't let friends fly IFR

    Re: Friends don't let friends fly IFR The rating is nice if you want to use and maintain it... The training is 'life saving', if you need it inadvertently. We can all be prudent while flying VFR and try to stay out of the clouds; however there may be a day when you may not be able to. If you...

    Members only access

    Re: Members only access This seems to happen a lot! Not to me recently, but I see this post regularly... Radu and Bob seem to figure it out pretty quickly, but not a good situation for them or us. We're a small group with only volunteer officers; I don't know the answer, but there must be...

    Bird Strike

    Re: Bird Strike Saw that episode, too. Think our windscreens are a bit more sloped than the Pipers and hopefully a bit thicker. Also, a known fact that chickens don't like Pipers as much as Commanders.

    Re: The place to go in Austin is ... Joel, OK, in my other life, stayed in AUS at the Holiday Inn -Town Lake... Just south of downtown on I-35. I really liked it, but it was a contract deal from my airline, so I didn't pay the bill and don't know current rates. A good bit South of the...
