Some guys carry a small lightweight CO2 inflator. Never tried one myself but it would be easy to carry. I do carry a spare tube but would need access to basic tools to change the tube.

40 minute flight to get fuel kinda sucks. When I have gotten flats it's been from low tire pressure allowing the tube to get pinched on landing. The tire flexes, tube gets between the tire bead and rim... That's been on main gear tires though.

Your broker? Get on the phone and make some calls. I had USAA mentioned above in the distant past; stopped using their insurance due to high cost. Currently my vehicles and home are with State Farm. State Farm has provided what I consider a reasonable rate for my home and all but one of my...

Fees are a comin' https://www.vector-us.com/ https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/new-airport-fees-could-be-invoiced-via-autogenerated-ads-b-information/ There are multiple issues in this thread from stratified fees to 3rd parties keeping credit card data to charging said credit card, etc. The...

I'm a tricycle gear pilot so I never use the rudder.

I've had XM for the last 15 years. The only data I get from it regarding cloud layers is the METARs for fields. I can infer a little from the radar but get no direct cloud layer data. Perhaps more is there that I am not aware of. On the ground I will look at PIREPS for cloud layer data prior...

So if you're in a plane rear ended on the freeway by a car, who's fault is it?

On an island with ethanol you say?

It is interesting. We're beginning to question the quality of the installation. That wire only feeds the heat strips. It was leftover from the prior HVAC system that only had 5kw heat strips I believe; we can't blame the installer for using the wire that was already there. We have 15kw heat...

The system has breakers in the main breaker box. It also has 2 breakers in the air handler cabinet. It was one of the air handler cabinet breakers.

Found and fixed the problem. One of the two breakers in the air handler was faulty. I still don't understand it. The motor was getting 230v, the board was powered, but when the breaker supplying power to them was replaced everything worked. Thank you to those who contributed here.

I looked but couldn't find the Garmin spec for voltage that triggers that alert. My lancair has a gtn650xi that displays the message you posted every time the gear cycles in flight. My alternator and batteries can't supply the gear pump voltage amp draw, the ship voltage drops and the GTN...

Welcome to POA. Your analysis is likely correct. Email this guy: g3xpert@garmin.com

I have one of those on almost every vehicle I own. Those pigtails make hooking up a trickle charger super easy and the Battery Tender 800 022-0150-DL-WH Weatherproof Charger https://a.co/d/cPk6KqR works great for infrequently used batteries.

I haven't talked with Goodman tech support. It my understanding they wont provide support to homeowners directly, which is understandable. One of the techs I contacted locally attempted to contact Goodman tech support multiple times but couldn't get ahold of anyone; that is not understandable...

I researched more about the system I have and found that the blower motor does not come on with thermostat on fan only. Not sure why the hvac guy thought that it did. On fan only it does the same start stop thing as it does on cool. Difference is on fan only after 10 start attempts it doesn't...

I haven't priced the emag vs a new slick recently but suspect they aren't much different. Also suspect the ongoing maintenance cost of the emag will be less. Did I mention the emag is WAY easier to time? If you do go slick, I would then consider the g3i harness so you can use auto plugs at...

Pretty common up here in Tennessee north Carolina area to be solid overcast on one side and clear or scattered on the other. Metars by ads-b or xm tend to tell the take and provide ample warning though.
