'I have been at SNF for the past 2 years but will be unable to make it
down this year. The Antique BBQ dinner is excellent. There isn't any
structure to the club there but you can pick out the Fairchilds from

'When we were working on the gear of mine, we used an engine hoist to support the load. We used an industrial tie-down webbing wrapped around the wing struts just above the oleo but we only worked on one side at a time. Hope this helps.

'That is a good checklist for the 145 Warner but I was wondering if anyone has something similar for the 165 Warner and/or and additional points of inspection for the airframe especially during the annual. P.S. - If anyone is still looking for the checklists, they are now in the files section of the...

'I am having a problem with radio interference but only on the receiving end. It sounds to me like spark noise (lower frequency noise at maybe an estimated 10 times per second that varies with engine rpm). As far as I can tell, it has always been there and I was hoping that it would go away when we ...
