I grew up on a farm. You learn that you can't have a crop unless you plant some seeds. Even when you plant the seeds not all of them will survive. Those that do, may take some time before you can harvest. I plant seeds, knowing that it may take years for them to grow. You have to be patient. Some things happen fast and some don't.   Some of the ideas I've had didn't go anywhere. Some have done well. WE work on purhaps 40 projects a year. Some are small and some pretty major but they all take time. ...

New Magneto Terminal Kits It took more than a year but Bogert Aviation just received PMA approval for 5 different magneto terminal kits. These terminal kits are used to make or repair P-Leads.

It is important that they work correctly. Sadly, many p-leads have never been changed. They have been neglected, repaired, spliced and patched because they are difficult to make. If...

A BETTER WAY When I worked as an aircraft mechanic, there were some jobs I just hated to do. Often working by myself, after everyone else had gone home, I had to figure out easier ways to do things. I would often refer to that as being “Aggressively Lazy.” The 16M-PSF, or Pressurized Strut Filler is a great example of one of those ideas that changes the way maintenance is performed.

The mod is available for most metal Piper battery Boxes and is the same system that is used in Bogert Aviation New Battery Boxes.
