I originally posted the first draft of this video to the #planesavers FB group, wondering if anything here could be brought back to life. The consensus was "No." But that doesn't mean that we can't reuse/ repurpose and learn something from all husks lined up along the taxiway.
? Some of the ideas from the group were: ?
1. Turn good fuselages into flight simulators.
2. Repurpose wings as desks and tables.
3. Part out wing/ stabilizer structures for man caves.
4. Recycle what's not worth repurposing.
What do you think could be done with them? I have no say in the matter, but these things could be discussed with the airport owner at some point.

Sine we have to have them, one of my favorite places to have a layover is the Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage Alaska. If you love Boeing 747's and other jumbo jets, this is the best place I've been to yet to see them doing what they do.

It was the end of my last kid flying day for the Kako Retreat Center Summer 2021. I was in Grayling and ready to head home. The flats were pretty bumpy, so why not take the scenic route down the majestic Yukon River in Western Alaska?
This video was also my first attempt using music from Epidemic Sound instead of the YT Audio Library. What do you think?

***This is not a paid promotion, just an honest review from a regular guy.*** Bottom line up front:
Will they replace cheap regular zip ties for everything? For me, no. But for specific projects and use cases where I'm worried about vibration damage/ scuffing, this is what I'll be using from now on. Added bonus, I like that they're easily released and reused. Meanwhile, the company has good customer service and people you can actually speak with.
I've been seeing Grip Lock Ties advertised on social media, especially the Experimental Aircraft Channel, and was wondering if they were just a gimmick or if they were worth the "premium" cost over run of the mill cheapos.
I've come to believe that they are worth it for the right application, whether it's aviation, automotive, powersports or racing. Or what ever else you can come up with.
In addition, I keep an "Emergency" bag in all of our vehicles which already have regular zip ties, some of these will be added as well.
They currently come in 8 and 12 inch lengths (although a 5" version is coming soon), with your choice of red, orange or blue. (Wouldn't mind seeing lime green in the future.... ?)

If you want to become an A&P, but you can't go to school for it, you have to work in a repair station as an apprentice to get the necessary experience. But for how long? The regs say 30 months, but that's not how the FAA inspectors interpret it. So what are they really looking for?

If you own or have been researching Revmaster engines, you've probably come across the dreaded over charging issue. People have fried components not catching it in time. The community has come to the conclusion that you can't let both alternators run all the time. So here's what I did.
