Starter question by
A Lieberma
Went flying today. Go to crank the engine for start, nothing. Turn the
key, got like a jiggle of the prop. Turn all electrical things off,
figuring the battery drained, and then started just the alt and bat, same
thing, jiggle of the prop. Tried once more, and got the prop to turn and
fired...

Sundowner Wing Flaps by
A Lieberman
..... dont retract "on their own".
Beech Sundowner.
I will be talking to my A&P tomorrow, but just curious if anybody knows
whether I am talking major expense or something simple like a spring
that pulls the flaps up that came loose in the innards of the wings.
A gentle nudge on the outside and...

Prop Balancing Question by
A Lieberman
Past couple of flights, found a screw that was loose on the spinner and
actually lost one in flight. A&P replaced them, and said during preflight,
check them. If they work their way loose again, need to get the prop
balanced.
Logs show no maintenance on the prop, so I am sure it's well overdue...

Electrical issues question by
A Lieberman
I realize that lots of theories may exist, and trouble shooting is a crap
shoot from afar but I am wondering, what would cause a full discharge
indication when I put my landing light on.
This started shortly b4 I had my radio put in, and when I flew it back from
the avionics shop, on the short...

Oil weight question and cold weather by
A Lieberman
I run aeroshell 15W50 in my lycoming 360 AK4 engine.
I am planning a trip to Ohio the second week of November where the weather
forecast is for upper 40s low 50's during the day and 30's at night. I
plan to say a week.
Do I need to adjust my oil accordingly, like get an oil change with...

Out of annual.... by
A Lieberman
and back in the saddle, but not without a little excitement *smile*.
30 hours later, $1,700 less in my wallet and new wheel bearings to show for
it, I decided to take a short hop from KMBO (Madison, MS) to KJAN (Jackson
MS) which was a whole 9 NM to pick up a passenger who was coming in on...

"Bounce" those bugs away... by
A Lieberman
We get a ton of "love bugs" down here in my part of the world. I don't
know the scientific name for these things, but they sure do make a mess of
anything in their flight path.
A co-worker of mine said that Bounce dryer sheets will help you clean the
bugs. I figured, nothing to lose, if it's...

Sticky DG and DME distance question by
A Lieberman
Couple of questions.
Went up to practice some ILS approaches. While being vectored for my
approaches, my DG kept sticking through the 270 heading. First time on my
initial approach and the second approach. Third and fourth approaches, DG
acted normal, though seem a little off compared to the...

Pitot Static 411 413 followup post by
A Lieberman
Well, I finally got my plane to another place to get my .411 and 413 pitot
static / transponder check, and it went from bad to worse.....
First person inspecting said everything was fine except for the VSI not
being hooked into the static system.
I take it to the new place (where I had it done 2...

411 413 inspection question by
A Lieberman
Unpleasant surprise on my .411 .413 check.
Person doing the check would not certify the inspection. He said that the
VSI is not connected to the pitot static system.
I am the first to say I am clueless about "systems". He said I would have
to take it to a certified repair place to get it...

Overhaul time.... by
A Lieberman
Well, decided to make that move. I managed to get 2040 hours out of my
engine in my Sundowner, and now have another cylinder acting up (both
plugs getting "wet") at slow idle. I just had a cylinder put in (ate an
exhaust valve) last month, so instead of nickle and diming my expenses
away in this...

Dust in the Wind - Video by

I dedicated my last couple of flights (as well as a flight

clouds from the top down and that's what my latest video has been
focused on. Images and videos are from the past three weeks. After
all, why do we own planes in the...

Today's flight from KJAN Jackson MS returning home to KMBO Madison MS
with the hopes the Nav2 is fixed.
Amazing to see how much difference in weather can be seen in a less
then five minute flight.
Small things entertain me. Video'd some "sightseeing" on my 1 1/2
mile taxi to runway...
