Is there an online source or link to the service manual for proper rigging steps and specs? Or does one need a paper shop manual or pay for a PDF download?

Every day is decent, some better than others. Today was on par for average I’d say. Thankful to be able to take care of my pups and family.

I used this for the instrument written, pencil included, lol!

@mur_2003 I filled out your survey and I had mentioned gauges. Yes, the required gauges CAN be inaccurate, but the pilot that flies with an inoperable required gauge is not following the rules and is unlikely to be someone that spends money. Oil pressure gauge is vital - if it’s inaccurate...

Hmmm…max ground speed…

Hope it all goes well.

I am a recreational pilot. 1. I had a regular non-aviation job and retired. I now have more time for fun flying and am more accepting of delays due to weather or mechanical issues. 2. I own my own. I belong to a local club that is part of a bigger org - EAA. 3. Flying because we love it...

Same kind of discussions seemed to come up when Cirrus chutes were discussed in the past. I’ll gladly lose the $1 or $2 of my tax money (not including interest) for the PIC to go home to his family. Better to have lost the plane than the plane and pilot. Human factors and real delays in...

I would ask him or her to please stop because it requires me to park even further when there is one less space for others to use. Escalate from there if needed.

Soggy thin fries have their place, if hot and salty. I’m an outlaw.

Looks like if you can get out just after the front passes, you may have the least velocity of winds?

Another thing you can do is look at the prog charts out to about 7 days to get an idea of predicted L & H and the pressure gradient along your route. I also use the long range forecast discussions under the TAF tab of the weather in ForeFlight for a few of the cities I’ll fly over AND also...

Canard vs high-wing? Or canard AND high wing? Short field performance and load carrying, and in your price range if you find an older one.

My initial comment was to yours that Garmin AP does not “play” with the Avidyne GPS NAVCOM. I took the word “play” to mean that it would not pair and work. As for legality, I don’t have the expertise to comment on that, but I have seen installations in the wild where IFD540/440 and GFC500s are...

No worries friend. I’m no aviation expert either, but have engine experience. My comment was really about survey design. What you’re doing is probably just fine for the class. There are probably experts in your school who have designed research surveys so that the data they get back is...

Low oil pressure and/or high oil temperature are possible indicators of low oil for which there are already those required indicators on aviation piston engines. I looked at the survey and my responses were going to be inconsistent and misinterpreted because of the survey design. I think you...

That’s not true. And Gig’em! Game is on in 12 minutes!

Thanks gents, as always.

Since I’ve owned the plane I have one wheel painted white and one bare. This annual I’d like to correct that. Is there any guidance or good practice advice that you guys could give on what I should do? I’m leaning towards bare. Easier to inspect, less cleaning. Never need touch up...

Yeah, good point, it could even be a dud too.
