The area of vibration analysis seems completely ignored (by GA) in my area. I am recent A&P who's entering this arena mid-life with t...

'I've had the chance to help out Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome recently with a truck load of dope and thinner given to me by the college at LaGuardia Airport. While at the Aerodrome, I had a chance to see the Spirit of St. Louis that Ken Cassens is building. One thing that he is looking for is hose clamps...
