He told me that the FAA required him to not have any problems for some minimum amount of time before he was eligable for a new medical. I can't remember exactly what the time was, but I think it was a year or two. I am not an expert, but I am almost 100% certain that you do have to report it to the FAA. If you are an AOPA member call them and ask one of their medical specialist, if not, the cost of membership is well worth the help and advice their experts can give you. I suspect you could also find something on it on their web site. Good luck and don't give up. Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff wrote: I have a question regarding turnbuckle use.

This is encouraging. I think I'll continue working on completing my KR in the hope of getting my medical back with no problem. I'm scheduled for a stress test on Jan 9th, so should know more at that time. Mine was not a violent attack, but heavy chest pain. I went in to emergency and their tests showed I was having one. So they did the angioplasty with dye, found the blocked artery then installed a coated stint to correct the problem. I don't think it really did much damage. Three days after getting home from the hospital I got a call from my employee laying me off from my service technician job on Xerox copiers. I think they did me a favor. I can now concentrate on getting better and put some quality time on the KR2.
