    $1600 - SKY-TEC STARTER 12V 149-NL

    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. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/inlinelycoming_07-00762.php

    Do you regret giving up flying?

    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...

    Garmin G5 Calibration Pitch Shows Nose High Level Flight

    Very informative, but how do you navigate in setup mode? How do you get out of setup mode? Is there a way to revert back to original settings?

    Cessna flap bearings maintenance tips wanted. Other maintenance related pictures.

    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...

    How long to get a quote?

    https://avionics-laf.com/products/garmin-gps175-ifr-waas-approach-w-ga35-and-stc-registration 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...

    Cessna flap bearings maintenance tips wanted. Other maintenance related pictures.

    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.

    Cessna flap bearings maintenance tips wanted. Other maintenance related pictures.

    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...

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    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.

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    Honest question, which one pollutes the water worse when dumped into the lake? The ICE or the EV?

    LED light issues.

    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.

    Propeller option PA-24 250

    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...

    Self-locking screws reusable?

    Newest O320 IPC (Oct 2011) has a regular bolt, flat & lock washer. That's what I'd do.

    Self-locking screws reusable?

    I would think an STD-1204 1/4-20 bolt and lock & flat washers would be fine if there isn't some clearance of the head & washers problem.
