Bell, he’s just using it for coordinated flight etc. Not using it like I’ve seen some in slow planes for winds etc. Every Cessna I’ve ever flown was off center.

Went to a buddies hangar today and he’s redone the dash of his experimental “Cub”. He mounted his indicator in the upper left corner. Is it more accurate if it’s mounted in the centerline of the aircraft or does it matter? Trying to get my head wrapped around all of the physics going on there.

If you get stuck with them, I maybe interested. Thanks.

Thank you! What’s your hard line from the fuselage to the soft line OD?

My mechanic spotted a place on my Right main hard line that’s smashed. It’s been that way for a while. He suggested that we make a new one. He’s super busy, but said “order the line, we will bend it and be done with it. I’m tasked with ordering the line and whatever ferrules I need. I need to...

Another one of us flying buddies got them today but I asked.

Bummer. He was going to give me those Orion 600’s for my 172. Guess I’ll have to pass on them.

Dumb question. Can 28V LED nav lights be run on 12V? I just didn’t know if it was built to take 28V or how that works. Friend has some nice 28V WAT nav/strobes but I’m 12v. Thanks.

Needs to be a Grimes pattern, doesn’t have to be TSO. I see Aero-Lites Evolution strobes look nice, nobody has any actual reviews or information on them. What else out there is an “affordable” NAV/Strobe for a grimes replacement ? Thanks.

I would agree with that. Well put. Can I assume you are an IA? You seem very knowledgeable about this stuff.

There are a lot of misinformed AP’s and Pilots out there. It’s interesting to sit and learn this stuff. Thanks !

I’m familiar with the terms but practical application, I’m not educated at all about it. Other than a screw in tailbeacon is a major modification which continues to confuse me. Haha. Man I appreciate your answers. I’m learning a lot here. Thanks.

I’m not disputing anything. It’s just confusing. If there was no wheel size specified in the TCDS it’s hard for a layman like me to understand which to follow.

Great reply thanks. So…. As it stands, if nothing in his TCDS lists tire and wheel sizes… and it was manufactured in the CAR era… why wouldn’t he be able to use CAR as the basis? If nothing in part 23 overrides or supersedes the CAR3 of his aircraft…. I am also confused why it wouldn’t be legal.

I’m not sure this is accurate or nobody would buy the Airglas fork to put bigger mains on. They would just put larger mains on. I’m very interested to hear what all you guys have to say about this topic.

I guess I should ask this. Would a 1963 182 fall under CAR rules ? The reason I ask is this. At a breakfast fly in I saw a 150 on 8.50’s. It was a 1963 150. The guy flys it all over the place into farms etc. I asked how he was able to do that. He stated he was still under CAR rules and that “any...

When did Car 3 end and the FAR’s take over?

I need a pair to use on a project to roll around. As long as they aren’t broken. Thanks.

Looking at an experimental tricycle gear airplane. A 7.00–6 is a little too tall and a little too fat, and a 6.00–6 seems a little bit short for the application. Is there a tire, even if metric that is a 6 inch wheel that has between these two in height?

flight aware and them do not support the 978 mhz band. If your tracking works, that’s pretty rare. My region doesn’t have ****. We can’t ever have family or friends follow us. It might draw a line for a few miles but that’s it.
