    April 8th Eclipse

    Ticks, chiggers, mosquitoes, humidity. I still have a scar on my leg from a tick from my visit in July.

    April 8th Eclipse

    Marion, Illinois. It’s east of Carbondale and right off I-57. I worked there for Aeroflight, a Piper dealership, a long time ago.

    April 8th Eclipse

    It’s kinda like that. I’ve been a High School teacher for the past twelve years on 11 month contracts. I only get the month of July off in the summer and could only get to the farm in Southern Illinois during that month. It’s not a very pleasant place to be in July. I really like the Fall and...

    Carbondale, Marion, and Cairo are all in the vicinity. Our family farm is near Anna but unfortunately I will be out here in AZ until the Fall.

    Airplane For Sale Anyone want a Nice Looking Protech PT-2C Cheap?

    I think I used copper break-away wire the last time so maybe I should get that .040 stainless. However, you never know when you might need to flip that switch.

    Holley Easy Level™ Fuel Level Sender 19-250

    I‘ve been thinking about using this in a project that I’m currently working on. I haven’t determined which fuel quantity indicator that I should use with this transmitter.

    Would You Go to A&P school at 65 ?

    Yes, a fellow Saluki, I am. Managed to get my bachelors and Masters through Embry-Riddle. Worked at Air Illinois, PHI, America West, UsAirways and getting ready to retire from teaching in a part 147 program . I’ve also been a DME for the past 10 years. I’ve got a farm south of Carbondale so Im...

    Would You Go to A&P school at 65 ?

    Absolutely nothing wrong with going back to school at 65. FAA no longer has an hour requirement for a Part 147 program but the school can set an hour requirement. If you miss days it will be difficult to make up those days, if the school has a full program spanning only 1 year. Is the school in...

    Why is GA continuing its demise?

    Great article but it’s dated. I would like to see it revised, based on recent data.

    Great Plains Web Store

    Apparently they are still in business. I got a call from Art today about an exhaust kit that I had ordered through the website a while back. My kit is on the way and fortunately I had not sourced all the parts previously….just some. So now I will have a few spare pieces in the event I buggar up...

    Scarf joints in laminates for spars ?

    The one that I examined had a spar with 3 laminations with glue lines oriented horizontally. The top and bottom laminations had scarfs with vertical glue lines or parallel to the spar face. I have not seen a definite reference for having the scarfs needing horizontal or vertical joints except...

    They are still in business. I called today and talked to Roberta about ordering some parts for my project and she said that if I needed any technical support to talk to Joe. Joe is often there after 11:00 on Saturday as well.
