It's a pretty small hole, Jim. And it meanders inside the wing, so it's long, maybe 2 feet. That thin a tye-wrap probably won't be long enough. What about a thin solid copper wire, like the...

Clogged water drain line from fuel cap area

Is there an easy (read: inexpensive) way to clear a clog in a water drain line from the fuel cap area? I seem to remember blowing moderate-pressure air with a compressor from the drain end on the...

On the Horton fairings I see no reason not to keep them, except for possible regulatory issues that others in this forum may address later. Specifically, when one installs the Horton kit, does a Form...

All/most of what you're asking is covered in the SID thread, such as the history of SIDs, and I strongly urge you to read the whole thread. There are a lot of 337s used commercially, for forest fire...

The information provided to you is wrong in several areas. First, none of the proposed SIDs of the wings have repeat inspections more frequently than 3,000 hours. Second, the SIDs are not expected to...

100LL Fuel Availability

Good information in the May and July issues of AOPA Pilot Magazine on 100LL fuel, which leads me to this question: does anyone know the compression ratio on our engines?

The ACK unit also transmits on 121.5 to aid local search. It's a very low power signal (100 Mw vs. 5 watts at 406 Mhz) which may satisfy the FCC.
