    Why haven't you been to a POA fly-in ?

    Lycoming Engine replacement

    5 years or so. I put new seal, points, condenser and lubed up one mag last year. I'll do the other next year. 5 years since all new PTFE hoses. Two oil cooler hoses were replaced this year to make them fit better as they were a little on the short side. Vacuum Pump coupling is new.

    Garmin GTN Installation Level of Difficulty

    Took me forever to crack the correct ADS-B settings on the GTN --> GTX3X5 combination. About 2 whole days. The GTX manual was really new and it sucked.

    Slick Magneto Failure

    Tempest used to make a PMA one I think but no idea if they still do. I'd just throw a used one at it out of my drawer of used mags if it were mine.
