Re: Slip With Flaps

Would you want to fly in a plane where the airframe cannot take the stress of a slip? I would hardly believe there is an authoritative source stating the airframe could not take that stress. Our DA40s are TOUGH!

Re: Crazy Pricing?

Not sure how this relates to actual sale prices, but my county just raised the assessed value of my 2007 by over 100k from last year.

Re: Horizontal Stabilizer Bracket Corrosion

Thank you all for feedback. I am definitely replacing them - as labor to remove and clean them up is probably as much as the brackets. Not to mention - an important connection :). My shop can replace brackets without disconnecting flight controls. They prop up the horizontal stabilizer and switch ou...

We found some this annual and it looks more like rust - according to my maintenance director the parts are nickel plated and the plating sometimes corrodes.
