ah- gotcha.

Not during a stall? VG's aren't about to cause anyone to NOT recover from a stall. VG's just improve adhesion of the laminar flow over a surface. This improves the effectiveness of the trailing edge devices as well. They don't cause cause loss of control, they cause improvement of control.

For the same reason, I imagine. The underside of the tail is where you want lift to occur, basically pulling down on the tail.

wow- I wasn't aware of the no-teflon rule. In fact, I thought that my brake lines came with the suggestion of using teflon- doe sit deteriorate in brake fluid or something?

I would use teflon tape, but because it is a flare fitting, I would go without the washers. If it leaks- it won't be that much trouble to remove the bolt and install said washers anyway.

I second the recommendation of just getting a better rad. My temps would rise during the warm months of summer, and I had no BHG and I tried various rated Tstats. What cured it was getting rid of my 8 yr old radiator, and putting in a CSF. Temp never budges.

You sure about the only civilian rated to fly Phantoms? I assume that you mean he's never been military, because the examiner who gavwe me my CFI(based at KJFX) used to fly recon on the edge of Cuban airspace, though of course, he WAS military. We've got a couple of L39's based here, as well as...

Actually flew over your house yesterday, Doc. I had to fly a new G36 Bonanza back from a town called Mena(KMEZ), Arkansas to Atlanta. Although I have about 30 hours in Bonanzas, I failed to mention to the guy that it was ALL right seat, and that I had never actaully operated one. It flew as I...

Training for a helicopter rating added to your pilots license will cost you about $6000 - $8000, I would guess. Even the smallest helicopter costs 50% more than a decent C172SP per hour. Of course its pretty neat to hover, but I prefer fixed wing aircraft. Good luck with your training, and enjoy...

Yeah- 2 pipes with a proper Y connection should giver you close to the overall exhaust diameter you're looking for.

The other thing is the connection to the handle itself. Pull up the ebrake boot, and you'll see the wire at the base of the handle. It should take 30 seconds and no tools to check.

If you bend over and lift the tranny with your back instead of knees, and nothing pops in your spine, you have a W58.

It also is there to indicate when your brake fluid level is low. Cheeck that first.

My taillight sensor "went bad" too. But not really. access it through the drivers side bulb panel. Flex the conntector plug by hand, side to side, up and down, while someone presses the brake pedal, or you block the brake pedal down with something. If the brake lights come on, you may very well...

A brake cylinder hone is a small 3-prong drill bit, with 3 stones on those prongs which are spring-loaded to press outward. they are identical(yet smaller) to some cylinder hones, used to create the cross-hatching on cylinder walls. Anyway, if the gouge on the bucket wall can be smoothed out-...

If you're lucky, you can use a brake cylinder hone to smooth out/ polish those lifter bores.

Umm, doesn't the insert in the tool, turn around or something??

Are both the Lisle tool and the valvemaster identical? Which one do you have, guys?

I'm suprised that it hasn't yet been mentioned, but there was a twincharger kit available for the 4AGZE MR2 back in the day. Might have been marketed by HKS, dunno.
