Re: Wing patches
You may also want to consider where the patches are.
Are they near the spar? Across ribs? Under the fuel tanks?
Every picture tells a story. You may want to find out what is causing them to crack in the first place. High time? High vibration? Was it parked in a hail storm?

Re: Searching for Piper Pacer
Hello,
I haven't seen too many pacers up for grabs.
I found a listing for a tri-pacer though.

Good luck.

Re: Slick magneto impulse coupling
I worked at a flight school with the same engine type and yes the newer mags were an issue. We were filing SDRs every time it happened. Wrote off a few engines because the rivet fell into the accessory case.

Re: Aircraft Maintenance Type Courses
There are no mandatory type courses on M1 fixed-wing, but if you are signing anything out under an AMO you need on-type training for ACA. Could be in the form of an approved in-house training program. Example: I held an ACA for a Zlin 242 that belonged to an FTU. If I do an annual inspection to a pr...

Absolutely. That's the unfortunate dose of reality the aviation industry is facing. The airlines aren't the only ones feeling the pinch.

It was more a rhetorical question then to actually give me an answer but you would notice your values not opening as far or for as long. Cam lobes often look like a teardrop in shape so infact they be getting more smooth. Yes the rocker values are where I would start. So the moral of the story is yo...

Re: Any opportunity of working on lycoming engines would be appreciated.
You don't need to do overhauls to get experience on piston engines. If you want to see opened engines visit a museum. Although having the background knowledge is good. Being able to get some troubleshooting experience on them would be better suited. Seeing cam shafts and wear on the lobes is great, ...
