Don Butterworth Those with Bar Mitts - are you using your PTT switch inside the mitts or outside?

Rich Arnold Fog lifting in N. Louisiana. Maybe if we don't get pop up storms, it will be a fly day.

Wesley Frey commented on Henry IMGW's Video.

Very impressive! When you fly it feels like the wing moves. If you watch landings from the ground it looks like the wing is steady and the pod moves. This movie shows they both move. I am surprised at the vertical movement due to what appears to be ...

Rich Arnold commented on the group Float Flyers's wall:

I just had to correct a design flaw on my Sea Wing that is likely inherent on all Sea wings. The main gear retaining cable catches on the air valve on the outside float. After numerous times catching, the cable actually tore the fabric of the ...

Arthur Thompson commented on Abid Farooqui's picture.

If your eyball tells you the bolt is defective then the defect is gross. I am all for visual inspections, but if you really want to establish a reliable preventive maintenance program, you must establish testing regimes that use destructive testing ...

Abid Farooqui commented on Abid Farooqui's picture.

You are right about the semantics. But you will never be able to tell if the bolt is good or not, unless you literally took it out and carefully looked at it. From the outside like an annual inspection by a run-of-the-mill A&P, the fatigue would be ...

Joe Hockman commented on Abid Farooqui's picture.

Abid, what you say about AN bolts failing makes sense. Except that AN bolts that have been subjected to sufficient fatigue are no longer "perfectly good". They are predisposed to failure under loads below what they would be rated for when new, so ...

John Olson I have some amigos looking for a wing to tow with in Colorado. A Z-19 or Gulf-19 would be ideal, but they might consider any slow wing that will mate with a Cosmos trike. Call me 425 280-4198
