I see occasional spikes in hits to my blog. These spikes are associated with Russian Urls. I and many other bloggers have contacted google but nothing happens. Nothing malicious has occurred and its been going on for several years. I wonder if a similar thing is occuring here.
If it's possible...

Have to admit I find the wording in the SB confusing. After reading it several times, specifically the models affected section, I read that it applies to mags in the S/N range and any others (of the P/N listed) that have had replacement rotors installed. Is that how you interpret it?

whoops, My BAD, sorry getting nicknames mixed up. I guess we use nicknames for a reason and I shouldn't try to shortcut same. my apologies.Leave a comment:

I'm not completely clear on what you mean Tom. Induced drag is a component of lift (but only if the lift is contributing to overcoming gravity). Lift created by the H stabilizer for example is actually drag as it's effectively adding to the weight of the airplane.
The rotating prop has...Leave a comment:

I went through the FAA online request but so far I've heard nothing. The N number was cancelled in 1973. I assume the records from 46-73 still exist but perhaps not?Leave a comment:

A windmilling prop would tend to be not stalled which means the airfoil generates "lift" which in this case causes rotation of the engine. I takes energy to overcome the friction and compression of the engine. That energy needs to come from somewhere and in this case it comes at the expense...Leave a comment:

I don't have the constitution to turn off my one and only fan, even if it has an electric starter.
There are a couple of things I remember about my dead stick Taylorcraft adventure however... First, how quickly the prop stopped, and second how much less glide distance/time you have compared...Leave a comment:

One of those tales of no consistency. When I was young and foolish I believed a fellow Taylorcraft owner when he told me there was 45 minutes of fuel left when the wire bottoms out.
The one and thankfully only forced/dead stick landing I've ever done was the result. 100% my fault and...Leave a comment:

Haven't been able to find other information indicating his middle initial but I'd think this is a relatively high probability although a lot can happen in 6 years.

Thanks Mark!
I thought I'd looked at every photo in the Alliance collection... apparently not. I'll. Eed to look again. If you have a link it would be appreciated.

We've spent some more time trying to analyse the handwriting and we think the initials are HTH or possibly HFH. No other clues so farLeave a comment:

It was actually ferried to Lubbock Texas buy a gentleman named Clent Breedllove, who was also the manager of the airport there.
Here's what we found so far:...Leave a comment:

Alliance Test Pilot
HI All
I've been trying to identify people involved with CF-CLR over the years. The first flight entry in the first log book was of course the test pilot, but I only have the initials, and I can't even identify what the letters are. NJN perhaps? I've found a few names for Alliance test pilots... -
I considered following your lead Rob and use nutplates. While any modifications to a spar would be considered a major modification, my intention was to treat it as a substitution of hardware and I'm sure no one would have given me any grief.
However in the end I didn't want to encourage...Leave a comment:

Yes I think the epoxies available now are considerably better than the glues of the past. The two part urethane varnishes are equally tough. Thin the first couple of coats 50% and the varnish penetrates well, sealing the wood and providing excellent adhesion for the top coats. Can also thin epoxy...Leave a comment:

Sometimes there are access holes, sometimes not. Mine had 1" holes with chassis plugs/caps at the centre hinge/pushrod location but nothing at the outer hinge location.
How long have the ailerons been in service since last recover?
