Reminder: The OSH NOTAM link is in a sticky in the 'Upcoming Events' subforum. Good reading for safe arriving.
Mowed the yard 0730 to get a jump on the forecast afternoon heat index (112*F). Wallet fell out of the front pocket and I mowed over my passport which was tucked inside it (keep the wallet in my left front pocket). God as my witness it was EXACTLY like something in a cartoon. Put the bits in a baggie and filling out a replacement form DS-11. FYI: I carry the wallet in the front pocket because it has a 1930 silver dollar my father carried in his front pocket from age 19 until he passed away at 69. You can't really tell it's a dollar coin anymore - just smooth metal. His father gave it to him when he was drafted after WWII. My dad was born in 1930. He carried it with him in Austria where he was stationed (had to get permission to keep his USA currency on him). VERY glad that coin didn't get bent. My son gets it when I'm gone. "Is that a bullet ricochet? Nah, my dumb@ss dad ran over it with the mower." ;^)
Not my smoothest Tuesday morning <g>. Addendum to mowing checklist: Wallet REMOVE. I should have gone flying. ;^), dr

RE: Pioneer Control Grip Clearance on Aerosport Panel …Bill Peyton
A couple of things to do... First, you really can't look at the stick travel until the elevator push rod travel has been set up. When you do set up the elevator travel you may have to fabricate a limit stop at the elevator to limit the excess travel. You should also adjust the control push rods so the stick travel is favored towards the rear. In addition, you may have to remove as much of the top straight portion of the stick as possible. In addition, you may have to remove some of the straight horizontal portion at the stick base.

Pioneer Control Grip Clearance on Aerosport Panel
Hey All, We've purchased the Pioneer Custom Grips from PCG and the Aerosport 310 Panel. Other than the Aerosport Panel bottom edge to clear, we've got a bunch of rocker switches and the most precarious item to clear being the flap switch. Already planning on cutting the control stick bottom to...

Dented Pushrod Shroud
Hi all, I was an idiot and managed to dent the aft pushrod shroud on the #4 cylinder on my IO-360-A1B6 while tightening the upper left engine mount bolt. I know there is some space between the pushrod and the shroud internally, but I'm still guessing I need to replace the shroud. What do ya'll...
