    M939 Series Vehicle Inspection in Texas

    Owning a Tow Truck/Wrecker in Texas can become a permitting hurdle to jump over. IF you ever accept MONEY for towing ANY vehicle which is not your own, you will be considered a commercial towing operator. Hence, you see some tow trucks/wreckers branded NOT FOR HIRE. This is not just a "sign"...

    T-1A Jayhawk - "TTTS" (Mitsubishi/Beech/Raytheon/Hawker)

    Thanks, Rory. Sounds like a great place to kick back and plane-watch in a lawnchair. With that corridor so low to your dirt do you have drone restrictions there? Designing and building the MU-300's (predecessor of the T-1) was a high point in my career(s). Met many good people, some...

    Fuel system trouble, need help

    Check ALL your fuel lines and their connections. Rubber hoses dry out and crack. Mechanical joints loosen. You may be sucking air and/or allowing fuel to siphon back to the tank if there is a pinhole or larger leak.

    AH-HA ! ! ! We have now confirmation that this Green Iron Disease IS CONTAGIOUS by close contact ! ! ! Glad you now have your own WITH POWER STEERING! We also started with a Deuce. When we got our XM818 Dianna quickly claimed it for her own as well - Largely because of that power steering!
