Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I’ve been deer hunting with my daughter McKenzie this week, and so far, she got a button buck, and I got a doe… she’s trying to get a good supply of venison in her freezer for the winter.

Last evening was one of the rare times we didn’t see any deer, but the sunset view sure was beautiful… check it out:

I’ve been thinking about how deer hunting is similar to small airplane maintenance… it takes practice, persistence, and patience to get really good at it.

Before McKenzie became interested in deer hunting, I had done very little of it. Her interest has pushed me to learn much more about the whole process, and now, I’m really enjoying the whole thing with her… this year has been really fun!

When it comes to working on your own airplane, like deer hunting, it’s a learning process. Good training and lots of practice are essential.

A few years ago, McKenzie had her grandpa (Pappaw) giving her instructions through FaceTime on how to field dress her deer… it was fantastic. Even though he wasn’t there physically, he could still help her with the process because of the wonder of technology.

I don’t know nearly as much as my father-in-law did about field dressing a deer, but I CAN help with showing you how to perform excellent safety wiring on your airplane, and I can also help with showing you how to service a landing gear shock strut with hydraulic fluid and nitrogen.

And that’s where my two video training courses come in… even though I can’t be there with you beside your airplane in person, I can be there with you in the step-by-step videos, where you can pause it any time you need to as you work through the process.

So, if you change the oil on your airplane, or you change a tire and need to re-safety wire the brake caliper, or anything else that requires safety wiring, I’d encourage you to check out my video training course, “Safety Wire Like A Pro!”

Also, if you have a landing gear strut that needs to be serviced with fluid or nitrogen or both, I have a training course for that as well… it’s called “Landing Gear Shock Strut Servicing.”

This course walks you through the process of safely servicing a shock strut. And even if you choose not to do the work yourself, but have your A&P do the work, it will help you understand the process and equip you to troubleshoot problems before you send your airplane to the shop.
