Just a point of order. There was a question asked "Are inspections for continued airworthiness the same as SIDS?" The answer is not just no, but what is an "inspection for continued airworthiness?"...

It sounds like Cessna is assuming liability for these planes...or are they covering something up, such as a way to make $14 million on new parts? Either way, it is my understanding that under the old...

I have a good idea too -- since Cessna can just come up with good ideas. It seems to me that Cessna is admitting to gross negligence in the way they designed and built the Skymaster. I know that...

Sounds like "they" want me to believe that Cessna had no idea about high loading from the tail booms during the design. Give me a break. I bet the engineers with slide-rules back in the 60's knew...

So I was looking thru AC 43.13-1B "Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices. It states that Eddy current inspections can be used to find corrosion. So I wonder why the big wing removal?

Perhaps Cessna should just "buy back" the remaining Skymasters still out there....just like Beachcraft did with the Starship. Or perhaps the wing mounts are just fine...until they start falling out...

I predict that a couple of years after Cessna releases the SID, they will then announce the production of new Skymasters.

Karl, what are the signs that a spinner is about to come off? I've never heard of a spinner failing. Was it missing spacers or something?

If you own the airplane then it isn't worth selling at today's market. However, if you have a loan on it then it might be worth letting the bank repo it.

I say the only way to "clear" the rear prop is on the final walk-around. After that it's really an educated guess that it is clear. Starting the front engine should give enough notice to everyone...

Call me crazy, but it seems like a simple (and perhaps less expensive) x-ray inspection might reveal the same thing. Who knows how much more damage will occur with the typical wing removal. My vote...

I really liked the twin 337 model...I guess that makes it a Cessna 674. I wonder how much effort it would take to make a Cessna 674 from all the cheap airframes out there now.

Battery Charger

Does anyone know a supplier for a good aircraft battery charger? I like Sears but of course they only have 12v chargers. It's hard to find a 24v charger. Any recommendations?
