OMG, Prairie du Chen is a fantastic stop! Easy access, (2) loaner cars, good steak restaurant and hotel, and probably a descent place to snooze at the FBO.

I like the split screen for the landing. Are you camping at north 40?

Any food vendors setup??? Showed up Saturday with my family in 2012 with no vendors until Monday. It was a hot, humid, stormy week. We’ll drive, camp with a/c and no kids next time.

Is the exhibits up yet over by the plaza? Also hopefully get to see you tomorrow take care!

PSA. Tarp footprint should only extend to your tent edge. Otherwise, any water will completely pool under the tent, then break out the paddle.

That only works if the tire is perfectly round.

Very interesting!😊

Stay safe!

Raton is rat in Spanish

🎉🎉🎉

Fly safe! Show low ,have a minute or check on the Outpost? At least do a flyover

Happy trails to you gentlemen!

I knew Joe, I was his friend for many years. I came to youtube looking for his old flight videos, and found far more than that. Thank You for putting up the wonderful tribute.

Very interesting coul you add a link to where one can check out that tool?

I Enjoy your videos. Have Fun! Wish I was going.

There's my baby!

What day will you be at Oshkosh?

Sorry

Hope to see you there!

Aghhhh quite literally see everyone soon! I love the cutting boards vs absorbent plywood! Adding LED solar lights to my checklist NOW! TY for the reminder! Great video as always!

Sorry for your loss

Bottom plug probably fouled.

have it, love it - not that there's not many other components that determine shimmy - another great video

I wonder how this compares to the Lord .

Sure wish they made one for the Beech's

It Zoe very interesting only 2 likes including grandma

You are doing what I asked in other Cessna fourms and never got a reply. For a review like you just did. I did everything but the shims and a new damper.... awaiting for your flight test

how where the new brakes? did it remedy your issue? didn't get spongey? and did you stick with the old MC.

I'm very surprised that McFarlane calls it a "Shimmy DAMPENER".

Enjoyed watching this one with my 16 YO who’s working on her Private Pilots license. Always something new to learn following 112 Adventures! Thanks for sharing! Well done 👏

Fill the damper with 80w gear oil.

Try wiggling the scissors with your hand…. If it wiggles, consider the McFarlane Torque Link Kit…. New bushings, bolts, shims, etc. had the same problem and the kit fixed it once and for all. It is a common problem but agree that isn’t how it was designed to operate…. Might even risk firewall damage if it goes on long enough or it’s bad enough…Good luck….

Make sure it's unpainted too

We had all 3 cessnas ar the flight school i work at have severe shimmying and i just replaced the bushings in the torque links with an FAA PMA kit and all shimmying went away for all of fhem

Can I ask for it to be not 95 degrees at 5 in the morning?

Try letting a little air out of the tire. My R182 is much less susceptible to shimmy w a few less psi in the tire. 3 to 5 psi less. But, my tire is much smaller and the pressure probably much higher than your big tire.

40 Years of Aviation experience I've never heard of anyone's airplane Catching Fire has anyone else experienced it a fueling fire

grounding vs. bonding ..... these are separate issues. When fueling is taking place then bonding is required. The exhaust outlet is not a good place to 'bond' . The POH will tell the correct place to bond. The build up of static electricity during a fuelling operation is a very real threat that is not understood by so many in the GA community.

Using a continuity meter to test the quality of a low resistance ground path is like trying to measure bearing clearances with a plastic ruler. Besides, we don't need a low resistance path to dissipate a static charge. The only thing we care about is having the fuel nozzle and the filler opening on the tank at the same potential when they first meet. If the path we choose has a higher resistance then it simply takes a few microseconds longer to dissipate the charge. I used to dissipate static charges into doorknobs with my finger, which is a terrible conductor.

I worked at a top 10 midwest fbo for almost 30 years, Gotta say there were a lot of times i didnt ground due to no lugs in the ramp, that was also fueling big avgas loads like DC6s too. Airport said every time they bored a hole it weakened the ramp.... at any rate, I was thinking that fire aint gonna do it a hellava lotta good either lol... All it takes is that one time. As far as bonding the truck and plane. I always looked for a spot that was rather scuffed up or scratched like where the tow bar hooks as you said, never used the exhaust and when training advised new guys against that. I think the exhaust is titanium and has a tendency to become brittle with age as it hardens.. might be wrong. Great video

I haven't grounded an airplane in 40 years.

Usually there would be a ground but the exhaust flange has a gasket separating the manifold. There are nuts and star lock washers (one time use) on the metal flange side that are torqued onto the studs. There should be electrical connection to ground. Probably just enough resistance so it doesn’t show a short.

I've had this argument with several ground handlers / fuelers - the exhaust isn't a great place to ground. They still insist on using it. At the same time, 100s upon 100s of refuels with a ground handler grounding via the exhaust... and to this point my plane hasn't exploded once.

a year later; no update, no availability

My EI 30Combo install came out of the shop about a month ago, with the old connectors. EGT #3 stopped working, so I'm definitely going to go through with these new connectors. What is that crimper you are using?

Great idea!

💜shimmy damper💜 Very interesting!

This is a great idea. I have a CGR30 in my C182M and intermittent sensors are a chronic problem. I liked the concept of the older EI OLCs but they have had their issues. Each annual and some oil changes I double check them. I'm going to check and see if a DB style standard density pin will fit in the one I have, otherwise, I'll seriously consider replacing all of them. By the way, I looked at how you designed your panel on the other video. I did something very similar using the Cessna Parts Manual drawing as a basis for determining the fit. The drawings in the parts manual are actually to scale once you correct the aspect ratio which I did by direct measurement. The CAD system I used was FreeCAD which I liked better than the EAA's Solidworks offering. It produced .STL files which drove the laser cutter to directly cut 0.090 6061-T6 AL used to support the Dynon Skyview HDX system now in the airplane. I'm also going to go with your dual shunt system to monitor battery and alternator flow since I have two shunts in on the bench right now. That is a great idea. Your means of setting up a secondary breaker panel is just what I've been looking for, too. I took out 27# of wire with my install, and there's more cleanup to do. I haven't touched the main switch panel, but I like the breakers you used and the switches are intriguing. Very nice Job.

Very interesting!
