I've got a 5 bolt sump from an O300C engine off of a 1963 C172 that had a leak. Thinking of sending it out for repair just to have a spare. What pics would you like?

The night before 9-11-2001 I was in PIT getting ready to depart to ITH (Ithaca, NY) We were running late and the gate agent told me we had 10 pax that were landing on another flight in a few minutes. We were the last flight out to ITH that night and I decided to wait for them. 20 minutes later we go...

Here in the southeast corner of New Hampshire there are no gas stations with ethanol free gas. There used to be one just across the border in Maine but the Gov of Maine dictated some years ago that only gas with ethanol will be sold to vehicles in Maine. However 2 airports within 20 miles sell Mogas...

Says it's mandatory.

I have a 172D model. The trim will vary depending upon loading. I find it is different between the back seat empty or full and depending upon how much baggage you have.

As of 10 Feb the Alton Bay, New Hampshire, ice runway is open. Only the runway and ramp are open for now they are working on the taxiway. A recorded message is available on 603 875 3498 they are pretty good at keeping it updated. Alton Bay will have their annual Ice Festival on Sunday, 14 Feb.

The Alton Bay, NH ice runway will NOT open this year due to ice conditions, not thick enough for the plow truck. 603 875 3498 is a recorded message about the runway.

Isn't it the green is because they are envious and red because they are embarrassed you are so much faster?

My experience with sticking exhaust valves is it happens when the engine is cold. Sometimes called 'morning sickness' along with other things not fit for print in this family forum. One thing about a sticking exhaust valve is it will vibrate! It seems that it knocks out one cylinder and a neighborin...

Usually I notice a loss of some RPM. 50 or 100 RPM. Usually the first reaction is to squeeze in a little throttle to gain back the RPM thinking the throttle had some creep. Shortly there will be another drop and usually I've had my hand on the throttle so I know it didn't creep this time. Pull carb...
