No just the accuplacer, and make sure you comment on my other video to get entered for my giveaway

I'll add that is a test you take at our school to determine what level math and English you are at or would need if you went for an associates

You need a fire extinguisher nearby just in case playing with gasoline, or a garden hose or both

[@brycebuildsit]

We have a really nice on that you can roll to the aircraft but it was about 200 feet away in the hanger. In hindsight that is not were it needed to be.

Hello brother my former class mate told, me. If an A&P move to new address. They got 30 days to report the changes. which I know is true. The part I don’t understand is they will need to Start all over again to test for new A&P license if past 30days, is this True?

[@brycebuildsit]

No, the second part is not true. If past 30 days the FAA may take action but most the time will just give a warning. The easiest way to do it is just create an account on the FAA website and change your address that way.

[@modelaircraft6576]

@@brycebuildsitThanks for clarifying, this tells me next time a student or anyone tells me about FAA laws. I will tell them to prove it to me online or in the book under what section-code of rules an regulation

[@RobtheAviator]

Another instructor hot wired the starter to the main bus? That is incredibly dangerous and I hope students don’t have access to batteries to install without instructors oversight. I’ve seen a few stuck starter relays in my day and it makes me cringe when I see pilots leaning on the prop while another is in the cockpit dicking with the master.

[@brycebuildsit]

I actually said it wrong. Upon further inspection, they just took the amp meter out of the system. When I first got in a noticed a 4 gauge wire hanging down I assumed the worst. I thought I had edited that out of the video but apparently I said it twice

[@minnesnowtan9970]

"Shower of sparks"? That sounds unsafe.

[@brycebuildsit]

It's really not that bad. The most simple description would be that it's like having an old-school car ignition piggy backed onto the magnetos.

[@s35bonanzapilot84]

If the aircraft doesn't have extensive corrosion of the spar or other major components, why not make it a school project that students can come in after hours and work on to try and make it airworhty, even if the school has no intentions of getting it back in the air. If any of them are planning on working in the general aviation sector, and not the airlines, then this is exactly what they'll be dealing with in many circumstances and would give them great experience. Most owners these days cannot afford to keep their aircraft maintained properly, so this would be a good example of what they will have to deal with. Maybe not to this degree exactly, but not far from it. With the average age of a GA aircraft 50+ years old now, it's not going to get any better over time.

[@brycebuildsit]

Truthfully, it just comes down to cost. We are going to use a lot of the parts on it for training and re-use the engine for something else. It would cost a lot of money to get the Mouse "airworthy" again in parts, and it's much easier to spend our budget in big nominations than small orders of parts. Most likely, texas Air Salvage will get it, and hopefully, the parts will be used to keep other aging Musketeers airworthy.

Widowmakers. No thanks.

Hmmm, missing a "T" in the still frame title? Hehe

Indeed, it is. How did I not notice that, lol. Spell check didn't help me there

Or sell it to Jason. He clearly has no clue what airplanes are worth and will pay top dollar for them.
