I’m so glad I got talked into this one! (Thanks Kenneth!)

It turned out to be a definite highlight of the week… you can hear more about the details in the podcast audio.

I want to thank PilotWorkshops.com for sponsoring the podcast.

The book, “Airplane Engines: A Pilot Friendly Manual” is a resource you’ll love. Click here for more info.

Also, don’t miss the very popular “Tip of the Week” by PilotWorkshops as well. This week’s tip was about flying through rain, and had some really useful tips both for VFR and IFR flying. Sign up for free at PilotWorkshops.com

Other topics in today’s podcast:

Exhaust leaks found by pressure testing and soapy water:

Find out why there was “pink bubble wrap” under the instrument panel! (I’ll be removing that!):

And… here’s the broken trim pulley from a Cherokee Six (this is the view from the front, looking aft through the access at the back of the cabin area)

I found this one by “feeling” it, not by “seeing” it. I reached my arm up inside the panel on the right side of the tail, and as I was verifying I could rotate these two pulleys, I discovered something did not feel right at all… and this is why!

I got some really good feedback from the email yesterday that featured this picture… thanks to all of you who responded! Be sure to listen for the story of one Boeing 747 captain, who shared something that happened years ago.

Have a great week everyone!
