Why does it have to be rotary?

Y''all so cute for thinking this has anything to do with learning to fly. This is television, baby - entertainment for the great unwashed:

In theory, zoning should be no issue; federal jurisdiction taking precedence, etc. Have a look at CAR307.

Well, Trevor Gilmore is also a pilot, and he advertises himself as a consultant to get get pilots their medicals back; he might be a good place to start.

Not any answers from the rotary crowd yet, who I'm sure will be along soon, but your plan sounds eminently doable, if you have funds. Are you going to keep the thing on your own (rural) property or stable it at an airport? You might find getting insurance is harder than you anticipate - give a call ...

Different density, therefore different volume/kg, but there's no suggestion in the article of different energy content per kg.

Ah yes, the Tempest documentation says that if you have oil in your dry pump, it's not long going to be in service!

Sigma-Tek pumps can rotate either way. Tempest pumps have canted vanes and come in clockwise and anti-clockwise models. Tempest documentation has a lot of do's and don't, but among them I can find no sign of any prohibition on rotating a prop, by hand, backwards. The debris inside a pump should be o...

The most it's ever likely to do is triple from its current price.

Is it a sign of the times that someone considers a 200% return to be small?

I don't give a F?

...

On twitter I journal my observations on markets and the economy. I really don't give a F who it pleases or I disagree with the whole world.

Anyone who counts his followers clearly cares a lot who he pleases.

I honestly can't tell if the fact that you don't work for me means I should put more, or less, faith in what you write.

Aren't vacuum pump vanes symmetrical? Why would turning them immensely slowly (compared to the usual rotational speed) backward be harmful?

Um... In what sense are *you* not part of "they"?

This may seem like a meaningless distinction, but does CFI officially stand for Certified Flight Instructor or Certificated flight instructor? It seems on some of the FAA's pages its actually says Certificated but pretty much everywhere else out there in the world says Certified. Bede is quite corr...

Nope. It says "When the engine is cold move the throttle two or three times up to full throttle before setting it to roughly a quarter of its full travel. Press the primer button for approx 5 seconds.... When the engine is warm move the throttle one time up to full throttle before setting it to...

It's not that TC "doesn't check" any more - there's no longer any such requirement, so your admissions person isn't right. Here's the official information: https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/publications/handbook-civil-aviation-medical-examiners-tp-13312#fig3 For what it's worth, my glasses ...

Data point: The manufacturers instruction for one of my planes, with a very boring Lycoming O320, say to use the throttle pump three times to augment the electric primer (which is just a solenoid valve on the fuel line to the carb, pressure provided pre-start by the electric boost pump) before start...

You can get a flight permit to take it for an annual, if you need to fly it somewhere. It costs something like $50 and you need a form signed by an AME that the plane is safe for flight. But not if there are outstanding ADs. They must be up to date.

Maybe they should be reminded that CADORS reports aren’t supposed to be punishments?

CAMEs have been open since last summer. The attests toon was/is an option for the people meeting the specified conditions.
