We used to get these packs with replacement turbine engines, I saw the value. I collect and store every form of these throughout my tools and antiques. I relocated from GJT to MKG, 15% humidity to 80%. The struggle is real believe me, Snap On to Harbor freight. Funny, I drive an old Volvo with...

Though a bit pricey, I would say AN306-1 with B nut fittings is the cleanest and most professional installation you will find. Industry standard, I doubt you would find it wouldn't pass an inspection. As with any project, you choose the materials to work with, then craft them for esthetics.

What aircraft? I'm with the helicopter guy as far as the clear tubing goes, but AN306 with fittings would never be questioned. I was doing an inspection on a Bell 412 medivac bird decades ago when all the clear tubing crumbled with every move I made. It was all new when I was done. Bob Weber...

What is your life worth? Nitpicking the cost of arguably the most important component of your aircraft is insane. The better question would be the experience level of the mechanic, and hands on experience with make and model. If they are a Guru, break out the checkbook! I always ask what the...

Ralph, what kind of problems? Did they warranty your servos? What year is your aircraft?

Time for an overhaul, or tagged exchange.

Your DG is defective.. Find a reputable shop and get an exchange. Depending on your end game, look into glass. What autopilot is in your aircraft?

Stabilant has far less residue. Have you seen what deoxit looks like after several years?

My wife brought me a solar yard light that was intermittent, I put Stabilant on the battery connections, she has her own bottle of it now.

I never liked the inference of that statement. I do however, recommend the closest thing to it! Stabilant 22 was called out in a service bulletin for Columbia aircraft prior to Cessna acquiring them. I was fascinated with the concept but skeptical. I tried it on flakey wafer switches in some...

Happy ending update for a new found Mate in Australia. His engineer replaced the burned stuff and checked every other connection. Everything was tight, the panel was reconditioned 5ish years ago so it was completely removed from all of the breakers, and reassembled. He flew it the first time in...

That was over 30 years ago in Grand Junction CO. No Idea what serial number...

I witnessed a lot of "1st" annuals over the years, assisted in my own as well. Mine was on a '56 172 we bought for $5000 and had to prop start it to get it to it's new home. There was no prebuy, and thankfully we expected to find more issues than we did. A certain 421B that a car dealer...

The breakers come with them, as long as they're tight, they're fine.

Sorry for the delay, I wanted to make a thorough reply. These are all good things to notice and a closer check is needed. 1 There is a washer, it is badly discolored from the heat caused by a loose connection. The picture is a little blurred but the screw looks a little discolored as well. The...

Yet another great point! I'm guilty myself of doing this, that appears to be a supply wire for the buss added to the (hopefully) longer screw on the breaker. This connection should be made with a dedicated hole in the buss using good hardware including a metal locknut.

I'm looking, any way you can screenshot the area?

Don Thanks!! Yes I did, and now you don't need to fly to me anymore, it's all over the phone.

The screw is visible... Also look at the discoloration of everything that got hot.

Perhaps a reason to drop by while it's in progress, but don't bug them.
