    My furnace died about a week ago - wouldn't stay on for a full cycle - pilot would go out each time - relit it about 3 or 4 times - Always happens on Saturday night or Sunday morning - Was going to replace thermocouple - guess it got the message - it started working Sunday night and hasn't stopped since. ?

    Home Sweet Home
    Hey guys just a quick update to let you know that I made it home from my 203 day sand box tour. Great to be back and hold my 4 year old!! Now to get the furnace working. Anyone here have HVAC experience? I've had 4 different people look at and replaced 4 different non returnable expensive parts and still have the same issue the wife started with a week ago.

  15. EDMO added a post in a topic BFR - SP vs Private?   

    Thanks Jim - Wouldn't want you to miss Mr. O'Reilly, better yet, Kelly or Hannity or Shep!
         According to the AOPA site,  an SP must take the BFR in a LSA, unless he has a private certificate and then he can take it in a plane which is the TYPE (like Single engine Land) he is certified in.
         Don't know how he got away with it in a 172, but there seems to be lots of confusion and discretion on the part of the CFI.
    I haven't been flying much for a while, and I think I will enjoy the BFR no matter which plane I am in.
    My last BFR was done in my Ercoupe - which, BTW, wont qualify a person seeking a private ticket (or SP maybe?) to fly a plane with full controls - if you get your cert in an Ercoupe without pedals, you get an endorsement on your ticket to that effect, and that is the only type you can fly, or at least that is the way it used to be.  I originally got mine in a 150, and flew the 172 and 182T, Cherokee and twin Apache, while working on my commercial.

  16. 1avidflyer added a post in a topic BFR - SP vs Private?   

    We had this discussion a while back when my friend who had a single seat and flys with a Sport Pilot ticket needed his BFR. He took it in a 172 with the instructor acting as pilot in command. I was under the impression that he couldn't do it, but later researched it and found it was legal as long as he didn't act as pilot in command. When I did a google search I found this info also on the EAA website. I would go there now and get the link to it, but Orilley is on in two minutes.....Jim Chuk

    Dimitri,
         If you have the sight tubes in the wing tank, and no other holes - then you can put a "T" fitting into the upper sight tube and run your vent line to it.

    I will get on the laptop tonight when I get off work and see if I have any pics of the tank.  I have the plastic header tank from Kitfox and it is located right behind the seat on the mixer truss work.
