Re: New Bumpers... at Last! Count me in for a set. Paypal is fine... Alan

Re: Control Yoke Collars Yes! Thanks.

Re: Upcoming Fly-ins - from Colorado Pilots Assoc Dean, As I told you before, I may be moving your way this year... Coincidentally, I joined the CPA recently ($20!) and would be interested in these fly-ins, schedule permitting. Wife is scheduler! Let me know your plans; hope to be around...

Re: MT prop from Carl L Re: MT prop from Carl L Ray, your only choices are the Hartzell 2-blade and Hartzell 3-blade. The same 3-blade is used for 112 and TCs, but STC number is different. Carl showed a little interest in trying to get MT to certify the TCs also, but would take a volunteer...

Re: Look what came in the Mail Luckily, the only time I have seen one of those was in the early days of EKG by modem... FAA thought they were really advanced to send EKG data over the phone lines, but only took a thunderstorm near OKC or your location to skew the data. Even had the cradle to...

Re: AOPA Webinar on Cuba It's the FCC operator license that does not expire. Mine is dated 1970 and I don't remember paying anything back then... The aircraft Radio Station License does expire and has gotten expensive over the years.

Re: Grand Oaks Airfield Fly-Out... Sweet Tea is nearly as intoxicating and perfectly legal...

Re: Hello Florida from 4615W! I lived in Cobb County in the 1980's and that airport was a newly paved strip with lot's of red dirt around and maybe a couple of buildings... Guess I should stop by more often!

Re: Commander Siblings!! So, he was forced to replace his prop because it failed inflight! OK, now I understand...

Re: Commander Siblings!! Perhaps Sherman is referring to the hub AD which probably started back in the 90's. It is currently AD2009-22-03, with several supercedes before. Requires Eddy Current inspection every 100 hours now, but previously had calendar year provision which would be bad for...

Re: Commander Siblings!! So, after previous post, looked up "halidog" and his aircraft is a 1973 112, so not a B model, which make it very possible that it's a Machen conversion...

Re: Commander Siblings!! Might be a unique bird, as Machen STC for 112s was early in the history of Commanders. They only did a few, maybe 4+ ? Machen discontinued that STC long ago and reportedly would not sell it again. 112Bs didn't appear til 76-77 models? BUT, the cowl and spinner...

Re: In Soviet Russia, Commander flies you! Interesting! Can anyone read the registration numbers? Are they COG members? Should be; northern members could assist them with cold weather operations or maybe they could assist us with cold weather operations... Not still Soviet is it? Doubt...

Re: Worked as Advertised How's the MOBILE MX business going; any new clients?

Re: Worked as Advertised Here's a couple of pictures of my regulator, hose and fittings. These bottles have a standard CGA-580 port; hence the regulator has to mate to that. My regulator is a Victor 250 series, which is just what the local welding shop happened to have. As I remember, I...

Re: Worked as Advertised Just resealed my nose strut with the help of "Joel's Mobile MX Service". But I had some fluid loss, too. If you didn't have any fluid out the bottom, I would check Schrader valve and install new core and cap, first. If you lose pressure again, then plan to change...

Re: Nose Actuator Replacement Parts I seem to remember that Mike Busch via his MX management service, on a few occasions, was able to revisit the final invoice and get some items removed or reconsidered. Might be worth a call to him to see if he has suggestions which might help you, AFTER THE...

Re: Nose Actuator Replacement Parts So Randy, I don't think there's anyone here doesn't have a lot of compassion for your situation. BUT, it seems you have not managed the situation well... An $18k annual is NOT normal! To have problems after a $18k annual is unforgivable. To think that...

Re: A day I will always remember! Re: A day I will always remember! Wow! Then there's all those gremlins which can sneak into the aircraft while it's apart... Yes, I would think ferry is better most times. Thanks for the info... Alan

Re: A day I will always remember! Re: A day I will always remember! Just out of curiosity, do you know how the costs for 'crate and ship' would compare to the 15Kish to ferry?
