These were $500 14 years ago.
$1291 + $200 core (the core alone is just a money grab) then add tax. They went up over $200 this week.

Buddy bought a 5th wheel for about $25k. Right off bat paid for 4 brand new Michelin tires, paid to have the wheel bearings and brakes serviced. Paid to have his truck fitted with the hitch. The truck is capable of towing it but it has its own gremlins somewhere in the suspension or driveline...
I had a Cessna 150 with manual flaps when I was in school, I R&R every bellcrank in the airplane, cleaned and greased all the needle bearings in them, R&R every pully in it and cleaned and oiled every bearing in them, still had to replace about 5 pulleys. Replaced every flight control cable in...

To me all these old legacy aircraft do not have enough CBs in them. I added CBs just for the G5s (ADI, HSI, GAD) to a primary bus and not the switched avionics bus. My whole avionics bus is wired...
Could take a long ziptie and maybe wedge it into the aft rollers to prevent them from falling out of the track when the bolts are out or trying to get the bolts back in them.
Some long hemotats for the bolts in the flaps, and a magnet on a string to fish out anything that may get dropped in there.
I take the aft rollers out first, just let the flap hang on the fwd ones. The pushrods could dent the skins so might disconnect those.
I think I taped it just to keep it...
Way better off owning a hybrid, and then you don't need an ICE to do the stuff an EV can't.
Most of my hybrid experience is Prius, and the ride across this town in one is getting beat to death over potholes, cracks, and ruts in the streets.
Now do that same test in Feb, in Yorkton Canada
My dad farmed over 40 years and counting newest pickup ever owned is a 1989 Cummins powered one. It was already 10 years old when it joined our family.
The symptom you are describing is the same thing I've experienced with multiple dimmed devices from instruments, to interior lighting. When dimmed low these experience enough input voltage fluctuation to cause flickering.
What were the claims vs real world data on these?

Would there be a MEASURABLE reduction in prop failures? I'm betting no.
Expanding, is a NEW crankshaft better than a 55 years old & 2000 hours total time, that has never had a prop strike and no corrosion issues? Who's turn is it for next round of new crankshaft ADs? Superior Airparts just had...
