Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

A third class medical is pretty easy to get but now they have sport pilots that just need "basic med" which as long as you can hold a drivers license you can fly sport aircraft

 

Happy Saturday, guys! I'm having some tasty Mezcal and working on a late dinner over here.

 

Hell yeah

 

Oh also I'll be getting my CFI's back this year so if you want a flight review after getting your medical back I'll gladly road trip up to you and get you squared away

 

Thanks. The dream is different now and my wife wants nothing to do with small planes… appreciate it though.

 

She wants nothing to do with small planes yet

 

We just have to properly motivate her like with a fly in breakfast, I hear most women are food motivated

 

Hell yeah! @pearing can fly down to southern Wisconsin for one of my delicious but ugly omelets.

 

Your steak beats my Chicken Cordon Blue
But, I had a piece of Dutch Apple Pie for dessert.
O ya, I almost forgot, it was fresh out of the oven.

 

Fresh apple pie sounds pretty awesome!

 

Having an awesome wife helps.

 

So… on a truck thing: I think my rear brakes are broken. Been hearing some weird clunks and thumps back there but the parking brake hung up today and wouldn’t release. Hummmmmmi wasnt going to do the disc conversion until summer. And… I thought those silly drums never wore out. Bother

 

I bet! I'm still thinking about picking one of those up eventually.

Does the disc brake conversion involve switching to 4Runner rear brakes? Just curious, because our parking brake is basically worthless.

 

But I want to fly a 172.

 

Where are you located?

 

The calipers I found are a remanufacture of a 70’s Cadillac disc caliper with a mechanical parking brake. Can use chev 6 bolt rotors and they are the right thickness. Issue is with the 4 Runner big brake conversion in front I need to change to a Tundra brake reservoir

 

That's interesting. Sounds like a fun project.

 

With all those new compartments are you sure you aren't just hearing cargo thumping?
My dumbass was chasing that thump all summer and it ended up being the tow hitch I had in the bed storage compartment.

Are 2nd gens cable parking brake?
My 1st gen started sticking because the cable by the adjustment point underneath the truck was getting rusty.

 

Oof that sounds like a project right there, have you checked to see if you're adjusters got jammed on the cable or inside the drums?

 

Just outside Kenosha
