12V car jump start battery packs have been around a while. It turns out that there are 24V versions as well. In some of the locations I fly to, ground power is not available so I've been thinking about other options. The below looks like an interesting option for my 24V 182...

They're certainly being very thorough. I put down a deposit a few years ago. My plan is to install a Deltahawk in it.

The UK felt the same way and has a voluntary scheme to do just that. Almost every airport in the UK has signed on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strasser_Scheme

Just from looking at the map, Texas, Oklahoma and so on are clearly "The Middle".

All's well that ends well.

Man, if only you were connected to some kind of information network containing the sum of human knowledge that could answer that question for you.

If my wife were 30 years younger than me I'd be arrested.

Interesting discussion, thanks all. I'm not yet on the island so I still have the opportunity to avoid cannibalism. It's a choice of "southern route" through the island, with good weather, or "northern route" where weather is likely to be much less friendly. Unless I can confirm ethanol free...

Say you find yourself on an island, in an aircraft that can burn mogas. You have 80 gallons on board, but you need another 80 gallons to get to your destination and the only high octane mogas available has 5% ethanol. Knowing that nothing is ever 100% certain - would running that diluted mogas...

Agreed.

Hartzell came back pretty quickly and were helpful, which was a pleasant surprise. They stated that TBO is unlimited as long as you check and replace the brushes as needed, and they provided the relevant documentation.

The Plane Power AL24-F60C on my 182 has 1,271 hours, and just over 10 years, since being installed new. Having seen guidance online (everything on the internet is true) suggesting 500 hourly overhauls for alternators, I reached out to some rebuild shops but was informed that these units cannot...

The FAA inspector didn't realise that a Cessna 182 uses avgas when I was working with them to get my overweight permit, so I think it's fair that the typical reporter would not be aware of the different fuel types.

The difference is that the Panthera is real and multiple airframes have now been flying for multiple years.

If it operates like one of his businesses it'll be bankrupt in the first year.

I wish I could be at their Oshkosh forums, I imagine they won't be going quite the way they hope :lol:

That's what Beechtalk does, but you'd be surprised (or maybe not, these days) how many people are willing, if not proud, to put their real name to some truly hateful and incredibly stupid things.

They went to another country and respected that country's rules, imagine that.

I was up a little after 3am the next morning. The catering staff had very kindly offered to get up and provide some simple food before our departure. I polished off an apple for breakfast and took possession of the sandwiches which they had made for us; inch-thick slabs of American cheese...
