horsepower

Ok. Let me know. Thanks.

Took a few pics today of Docs Rebel,it was locked so the ones I took of panel and back seat didn't turn out .It hasn't been flown for awhile so a little dirty but you can see its a pretty nice bird.I think it has just barely got the 40 hours flown off of it.Randy

Is the grommet the type that is baffled or is it a straight shot to the filter,it may be just shooting oil on it as opposed to pressure build up pushing it out.Im not a Soob guy but Ive seen breather caps on our race car stuff that needed  to be baffled or you had a mess on your engine when you got back in the pits.Randy

Super pics and fun flying.Randy

We got dumped on with snow last night but maybe tomorrow I can run out to the airport and get some pics of it and if you want I can get you in touch with the guy.Hes a ER Dr. so not the easiest person to get a hold of.I believe Ed may be right about the 165 HP. Rings a bell anyway.I know its always been hangered because his hanger is next to mine.Randy

Theres a guy here in my town that has one,it has a injected Subaru motor in it.It is actually for sale but don't know for how much.I can find out if interested.Pretty nice plane.Randy

They probably will get as many deposits as they can and fly the coop. They must think we are pretty dumb to not notice its someone elses planes.Im sick of all the scam shit that is going on now. Whats happening to our Country? Randy

Ed, Try listing it as Piper Aircraft Brake Parts, people will do a search for a specific item they are looking for and it should come up after typing in Piper brake parts.I think you will just use the aviation parts category and it should come up.Im not a ebay guru but have bought and sold some racecar parts.Dont feel bad Im old school myself.Randy

Looks good Joey, Hopefully cap isn't tight,pointed wrong direction.Just messing with you..........Randy

Don't know who team 17 is but go team 17.......Randy

Somebody needs to buy the poor guy a welding helmet,he'll be blind before he ever gets off the ground.This just shows you dreams of flying are everywhere and people in poor countries have big balls.Good Luck to the gentleman.Randy

Welcome Banjoplayer, Hope you and your family enjoy your new bird.Any questions you have about it Im sure can be answered on this site.Wont hold the banjo thing against you because I play one also,only Im not good at it. Randy

Joey go back and get the tracking number that they got when they printed out the shipping label,it will be on their computer.UPS and FED EX are insured automatically for 100 bucks and the place you took it should be also.If they printed a label it should be on them.We ship out a lot so if a label was made it will show up on computer.Dont let them off the hook. Good Luck Randy

I,ll be gone till Monday but when I get back its a done deal.Randy

Go to a boat shop or NAPA and get a Sierra # 18-3558.Thats what I put in mine and works great.Some guys drill a small bypass hole in it but I didn't.They cost around 15 bucks.Randy

Your a character Ed,he needs to be a little bigger or he wont be able to reach the controls.Randy

Nice pics,glad you had some nice weather to take advantage of. Randy

Welcome home Joey,Whats your heater doing or not doing........Randy

Glad your home safe and sound,THANKS. Randy

Private pilots operating as sport pilots I believe have same BFR,not sure if you hold a Sport Pilot certificate only.

Its the same for both ratings Ed, you just have to be in the type of aircraft your rated for.You can fly a Sport plane with a private ticket without a medical as long as you hold a valid drivers license as long as you haven't failed a recent faa medical.If you don't think you will pass a physical I would hold off and just fly as a Sport Pilot. Randy

Congrats Mark,Enjoy they grow up fast.....Randy

Ive read a little about this Larry,I hope it goes through.Most pilots I know wouldnt go flying if they were not feeling medically up to it.Still have to do biannual check rides so doesnt make you less of a pilot.Alot of my friends will hold off flying because they dont want to do their medical for some reason or another and then when they do go back and get it they are not proficient at flying ,where as if they didnt need the medical they would have kept their proficiency up.In my mind the medical is an obstacle that gets in the way of alot of good pilots.The government always think they know whats best for us,they should look in the mirror and figure it out.Randy

Welcome to another world, nice bird.If you ever fly in to St. Maries (S72) look me up.Im usually in Spokane most every weekend in Summer drag racing.Randy

Welcome Blake, There is lots of support here and plenty of guys flying both the Avid and Kitfox to help you with your decision.Im sure there is someone on this Forum from So Cal.I know there is a high time Avid flyer on here from central cal.Good Luck Randy

Welcome Rod, This is a pretty mellow bunch and there is some  useful Info on here.I bought a couple drooped tips for my Skyraider from you,nice work.Randy
