We don't fix alot,usualy because it doesn't get broken quick... ;)



You don't have any children then, particularly boys........... ;D ;D

Matt

I am a child. ;D


...who regularly breaks Beech Baron 58's, etc, with his new toy; "Damage and Wear"... :o...!

Paul... ;D... ;D...!

Thats only because that paticular version of damage and wear on the baron is a bit unrealistic with engine behaviour,if you have the throttle above 80% for a longer time it will burn one or both of your engines. ;D

Yeah, I try to fix stuff when I can, and if it's within my mechanical ability.

Since my 'day job' consists mostly repairing bicycles, I like to think I have a little
mechanical aptitude.

And, contrary to what Joe Patroni said, repairing bicycles is an honorable profession.

:P

Hey Viper, it is a good calling, the Wright Brothers didn't do too badly out of it ;)

;D Totally off topic, but, I just want to mention that I replaced the brake pads, rotors and calipers on my chevy van this week. I am not a mechanic and I didn't use a book to help. Now I need to get a bumper sticker that says "I do my own brake jobs so don't cut me off"

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
