Re: Bruce's Canopy Cover - 13 years - it's been good

I was very happy with my Bruce cover for a couple of years parking under the elements. They sent me a solution I sprayed over and it was water repellant again. Didn't last long. Then UV did the job on the cover it started falling apart. In my opinion Bruce covers are good for 3 (not 4) years parking...

Re: oil change - no mess

Beautiful engine nice and clean! Couple more questions; Do you run LL or car gas? Your plugs are clean at 100 h I normally mix or run autogas straight from the pump and my plugs looked like yours. Last hundred hours was pure avgas and I got bottom ones fouled badly with lead balls. (Couldn't figure ...

Re: oil change - no mess

Did you have magneto blast tubes? I see two places with aluminum tape. Any reason for removal the cooling?

Re: Hey Doc

Thanks Dave. He is already talking to an AME. It's surely possible for 3rd class. Need a monocular vision test. For 2nd and 1st one need a checkride with FAA.

Hey Doc

Asking for a potential foreign student pilot. Is it possible to get a 3rd class medical having only 10% on one eye? The second eye is 100. Heard elsewhere on a professional pilot board there was a precedent a pilot flew with one eye. Would be glad to hear from a doctor is it possible and how to proc...

Re: 2018 Flying Stats

Very nice 2018 report Bruce. As I always say it's not about the hours flown it's about the destinations visited and people met. It looks like you had an impressive geography covered with your RV. I am standing at 813 enjoyable hours this past year. The little RV is approaching 5K mark she is getting...

Re: Planning a 2019 US tour. Anyone up for a visitor?

Капитан good plan! If wx doesn't allow you to reach Bruce go to KIPL. A motel right by the ramp just punch the gate code in. A Mexican cantina is in the building say hi to Mama Rosa the owner and chef. Affordable California at its best. Stop by Vegas too. https://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq197/N6...

RV Mini Series by Restless Crow Studios

My good buddy Wade and I flew from Portland OR to Palmer Alaska early June 2018. Wade started composing episodes on YouTube. Please take a look. I wish I knew which camera he chose for the cut I would keep my mouth shut :grin:

Enjoy!

Re: RV-9A annual condition inspection writeup

Bruceman nice documenting! Love the borescope pictures. I did my condition within three days before the Aleutian Campaign. 30+ hours later somewhere in Yukon I pull carb heat on a runup and cable came right off. My ottopilot made a fun video while we were fixing it :lol:
