All good points! I was just hoping for a quick, easy and cheap solution, but they don't usually come this way! Also I do like the old-school style of the control knobs and nobody that I can find makes the classic knobs any more? Thanks for the feedback and the reality check.

Wondering if there is any way to pull the core out of a ‘60s vintage vernier throttle control cable, clean it and make it work like new? Unlike a tachometer cable (where the core is easy to remove) it seems like these control cables are swaged on each end and not that easy to service. Hoping...

The Cessna 120/140 is a great aircraft to learn tailwheel, but also a very fun and economical aircraft to keep and fly. Don't think that these little Cessna's are not classics - they have a very strong following and a great type club. Contact them and they will help you find the right plane and...

Hey Priyo... I have an altimeter that was recently overhauled by Rudy Instruments. I am not using it right now. Would you like me to send it to you?

There is a unit from Schauer that you might want to look at...

Good wisdom here.

That makes good sense... thanks for confirming. Now I'm going to start designing the servo brackets!

Wow, that is a clean install... seems like the only thing missing in your new setup is auto-land for the Warrior! I'm curious, does the pitch servo drive the "up elevator" cable?

As long is everyone is looking for autopilot manuals... does anyone have a C-2000 install manual or a link for a download? Much appreciated!

I certainly cannot argue about the legality of using a shop that is not a certified avionics repair facility. However I will reiterate my endorsement of Ed at KX-155.com, and I would certainly use his services again if needed, accepting whatever repercussions might result. In addition to the...

This is such an insightful comment. Commitment and passion from a team like yours only comes from the vision and examples set at the top of the pyramid. This brochure is exactly what I was looking for! I will give you a call next week with any remaining questions and to share a reflection on...

Mark, no doubt that you have built a first class organization. The value of your service policies are pretty much unparalleled in our world. I have an older 6000 unit (and a Garmin 340 in another aircraft). As I prepare for an upgrade I am confused about the specific features available in the...

Since the original announcement of this product a couple of years ago I have had an ongoing dialogue with the AV-30 product development team. First with Jeff Bethel of Aerovonics (the guy that developed the product), and then with a couple of people at uAvionix after the product line changed...

No question about it! Based on my observations bad mechanics represent a small percentage of the overall aircraft mechanic population. However the aircraft owner population... well that's a different story. There is a large group of dysfunctional people within our ranks. I appreciate your...

Tim, my first impression of your comment is that you are talking down to me assuming I am an uninformed aircraft owner, ignorant of the role of the mechanic and of the annual inspection process. I am not. My apology if I have misinterpreted you message. I merely stated facts based on my 47...

This is a good list Dan. My observation is that at least half of this list would apply to the problems with my aircraft (the several vintage planes that I own). My interpretation for "Complacency" is expanded to include laziness, incompetence, greed (do the minimum work to get paid the maximum...

I might not have been clear on my original post. Of course I would never consider a 60 year old hose serviceable. I am working on a new-to-me aircraft and pulling all of the hoses preparing to replace any or all of them. All of your points are well taken and I have seen the leaching from the...

What is the practical useful life for hydraulic hose such as Stratoflex 111? I have recently pulled a couple of hoses off my plane with date tags from 1959. They weren’t leaking but not very flexible either. Looking for feedback from the POA experts. Thanks!

I am examining the size and layout of the hydraulic lines in all four of my aircraft (all four are the same model and vintage). All four are different, however I am using my best judgment on the correct fabrication and routing of these lines. Actually they are all 3/16 tubing, so that's one...
