**Shameless Plug Warning**

My fourth aviation article is about to hit the stands. The next "Aviation
Safety" will have a piece I wrote on prop nicks.

You do read "Aviation Safety" don't you? If not, you should.

Sure that is! Ken Ibold's the editor, and he asked if it would be okay to
use pictures of "The Mighty Grape" in his article on fueling with car gas
last winter...

I only see it occasionally, but it's a good magazine.

Oh, right!

Say, is Alzheimer's medically disqualifying?

(Someone suggested I take Ginkgo Biloba but I can't remember what they said
it was good for.)

Unfortunately, I can't stand Belvoir, and this is long standing. As
far as I'm concerned, they screwed up AvWeb big time. But I decided
to give them another shot with their maintenance rag so I subscribed a
while back. BEFORE I received my first issue, I was sent 2 letters
with offers to resubscribe. BAM! it hit me that was their forte, and
I found the rag wasn't too good either. Poorly presented (printed)
and boring as hell. Maybe it just wasn't what I was looking for, but
it did suck. After 4 months (2 issues) and about 6 subscription
offers, I cancelled.

We all know that you can do a whole lot better than them, Roger! And
thanks for the article, even though I won't see it.

Congratulations!

I just use a high speed grinder with a coarse wheel to take care of
the little ones. Same one I use to sharpen the law mower blades.<:-))

The last I heard from Continental, anything more than a nick that
could not be removed with minor dressing now requires an engine
disassembly. You no longer have to give something a serious whack
with the prop.

Sounds to me like the bean counters at Continental have discovered another
profit center and the lawyers another rear end decoration. The mass of the
prop and the softness of aluminum should allow it to experience a lot of
damage before the crank and other engine components are seriously strained.
I think engine stoppage is still a good gauge of weather a teardown is
required. Glad I have a Lycoming.

A while back, I let Aviation Safety send me a free issue and then they sent
me bills for a subscription. I ignored them until they referred me to a
collection agency. I told them that I only took them up on their "no
obligation" free issue offer and never agreed to subscribe to the magazine
(which I had subscribed to earlier and enjoyed). They said their job was to
get money out of me and that I would have to take it up with the magazine.
It was all resolved by me by me sending a subscription blowcard on which I
wrote "cancelled" in big letters and a short description of their mistake.
This whole thing took about three months to run its course.

I like the magazine, but I don't like the company that handles their
marketing/subscription services. The magazine is also expensive.
