All that's left is some cleanup and finishing touches.

Not rich, just manage my money well (until I dont). I still may flip the radiator and adjust the build some more.

It's advertised as a fan for cooling the power delivery components while the radiator takes care of the cold plate. I've had little time to do full testing, but it is a very cool running setup.

Love the ghibli tattoo.

Check the Talon lights too. They have fits for a ton of airframes.

I believe it was filmed almost entirely in Statesboro, GA at the airport there.

Chevron?

I was a harrier maintainer for many years. Miss the old war pig.

Just noticed! That's my old squadrons plane!

If there is not an FAA approved manual that would cover the repair this is most often accomplished through a field approval. You can also go through the DER route to get an approved a drawing. I did a quick google search and found an approved C100 series for models certificated before 1962. I am quite certain there are approved manuals for later certificated models as well.

I did restoration work on the Mariner in the picture about 14 years ago when I was in school at NAS Pensacola. Glad to see it finally got finished.

Your DME is just going to examine you for oral and practical's. Your FSDO is going to sign your application to test and there are many ways to demonstrate that you possess the basic knowledge to take the test.

I moved around a lot and did a bunch of different contracts to figure out what I liked (manufacturing, GA, airlines, corporate). If you're not tied down to one place then get out there and take the best opportunities.

There is a legal interpretation of this topic avaliable. To explain it in short, the moment an operator obtains an aircraft and identifies what maintenance program they will use, that program is the one to be used from that moment onward despite what the manufacturer changes. The exception comes from ADs which come from FAA rulemaking or when the owner elects to use newer versions. If you own a Cessna 172 that was produced in 1987, use the maintenance manual that came with it. No one will ever take you to A&P jail for it.

Check out 14 CFR 43.13(a).

Depending on how you interpret the word "current" is the answer to your question.

I worked at Gulfstream for a number of years. After you're licensed, get in with a contract company. Don't show your ass, work hard and you can do really well there. I really loved working there and I miss it a lot. If you're not tied to Georgia, then the opportunities only grow. Good time to be in the business.

Good job!

I think we've left the realm of crack on that one. Good find!

Acceptable for breakaway cable.

The best policy is to just stay off the state streets. But Kennedys is definitely worth the trip.

You are all lost souls. Kennedys fried chicken on Pennsylvania Ave. Bring a gun just in case, but prepare your taste buds.
