This week, I have a little request… my daughter just launched a new podcast called “Play Piano by Ear.” Please help me surprise her by subscribing and/or sharing it with anyone who might be interested:

You can also find her on Instagram: search “music minute with morgan.”

In today’s episode, I’m sharing some noteworthy items we discovered on Tobin’s Cherokee Six:

Prop control rod end bolt loose… check out the video:

An oil leak at one of the top crankcase bolts:

Sealing exhaust leaks by cleaning flanges, installing 4 new studs, and installing 4 new gaskets:

Tightening the TruTrak autopilot roll servo cable… the video shows how loose it was:

Fixing stabilator trim issues…

Broken pulley, worn spacer, and worn bolt:

Replacing a frayed trim cable:

This cable often frays in the area that goes around the pulleys on the electric trim servo:

Worn grommets at yoke shaft wiring:

Replacing a vacuum regulator filter that had not been installed properly the last time:

There you go… a sampling of the squawks we fixed for Tobin.

I was totally impressed with the way Tobin takes care of his airplane… and I was just as fascinated with the business he’s in…

Tobin told me, “We are like the wedding planner for office moves.”

Isn’t that great?!

If you need to move an office space, be sure to check out ReloStrategy.com They take care of ALL the details, not only moving and designing the layout, but also tending to details like the wifi connections and the water for the coffee pot!

Note especially the “About” page and read about Tobin and his wife!

One last friendly request: Please help me surprise my daughter by subscribing to Morgan’s new podcast or share it with someone… thank you so much!
