My brakes have been dragging ever since I got our Cessna 210 back from annual last month. They had replaced the pads and repacked the bearings. At first I thought it was just because of the new pads, and it should "wear in" after a few takeoffs/landings/taxis. But last night I jacked up each and...

I had an Insight StrikeFinder installed several years ago, and it always worked well, detecting nearly zero electrical interference from the aircraft in flight. The StrikeFinder is on a push-pull breaker, and over the winter I normally kept it unpowered, primarily because I didn't need it, but...

(note the term "annual" and not merely "annual inspection") Well, my cherokee 140 has survived another year. The annual started Thursday at about 11:30am and we tucked the airplane back in the hangar at 4pm Friday. The downside being I was unable to assist with this annual due to post-surgery...
