I have to second the Dynon HDX, and their tech support. Just finished helping a friend install the complete system in his Bo, and Dynon always answered the phone promptly and were knowledgeable and willing to walk us through various configurations, etc. The Dynon equipment is easy to install...

Now that I've given it more thought... All things considered, assuming a fixed pitch prop, if the cruise RPM is the same pre-magneto-repair and post-magneto-repair, to travel at a different speed, something aerodynamically had to have changed in order for TAS to change, i.e., CG, weight, etc...

I think that's true for most of the stuff we fly - we are limited by drag. My Cardinal, for instance, wouldn't cruise a whole lot faster with double the horsepower. The Lancair 235 however, is a pretty slick machine and that same scaled up hot rod can be pulled much faster with a 550 (or even...

Slavery was not abolished at the onset because the majority (here, and worldwide) didn't see slavery as something to abolish. It was not an abnormal institution in the 18th century. Men such as Anthony Johnson, owner of a 250 acre Virginia tobacco plantation and the first legal slave owner in...

I'm not hostile to my granddaughters, a couple of individuals unaware they are persecuted by others. Hopefully they'll meet someone that'll set them straight.

When the constitution was signed, slavery could not be abolished but agreements were made to start the process once the nation was created, and that process did start with a ban on new slave imports. Many laws were put in place to work toward the abolishment of slavery in the next half century...

When I install something, I first install it "on paper" to develop a battle plan and then wring it out. Then, when doing the actual install, I follow the paper, checking off connections as I do them. The final paper becomes part of the airplane's permanent record. I've been using Powerpoint...

I'm surprised it won't do a whole lot better Doc. My 177RG trues at slightly under 150 knots at 75% (about 10.5 gph), and I was under the impression that even the E would do at least that.

I decided to buy a Mooney circa 2008, based on stats, owner input, etc, and settled on an E model for the affordability sweet spot. Drove 3.5 hours to look at a 64 with low hours, nice avionics, new paint, etc., and it looked great. I was glad I brought my checkbook, all that was left was the...

A Corvette is faster and a better handling car than a Mercedes sedan, but which would you prefer on long trips?

When 172s are discussed, no one mentions how unsafe they are on a runway shorter than 5000' or how underpowered they are, yet every time the 68 Cardinal is discussed, this comes up. The 68 177 vs the 68 172 would be a fair and interesting comparison.

I think just under 200k is the top right now.

I think an accessible T between the ADAHRS and D10A would be the best solution. I do plan on using the 10" mounting plate but really don't want to have to pull the screen any more than necessary. Good suggestion Jesse, thank you.

I'm planning a Dynon HDX installation in my Cardinal and am curious as to how the check is done every two years. The static line will go into the Dynon ADAHRS box and the backup PFD (D10A). On my airplane the back side of the static ports are inaccessible without removing a lot of interior...

That's a very nice plane Kevin. Good luck.

Been there, fought that fight, lost. It will take someone's house being burglarized or some other serious crime, and a confession stating they used tracking from FlightAware, etc. Then, and only then will eyes open. Till then, trust me, your elected representative could care less.

Channel 2 is pointing a bunch of powerful lights right in his face.

My hangar neighbor is building one (NA) and I am impressed with the roominess and ease of entry. Almost as easy to get into as my Cardinal. Looks like it will be a very nice flying machine when he finishes. He wants to hang one of the new IO-370s (180 hp) on it. What kind of cruise speed...

I bought BAS Harnesses for my front seats and moved my shoulder harnesses to the rear seats, but first sent the seatbelts and shoulder harnesses to Aviation Safety Products (aka aircraftseatbelts.com) for rewebbing. I gave them specific instructions as to how long I wanted each piece, hardware...

I hear you - been in the 90s here forever. You might want to find a good hull that has an Air Conditioning STC for it and add it to a plane you buy. Cardinals don't have any STCs for air conditioning, and in a year or two, I may look at a field approval for either the ACC Aircomm or the Kelly...
