Aviation Monetary Units...worth one thousand each..Generally used as a code to keep wife from finding out how much you're really spending on the plane.

It's a cheaper product that doesn't use as much TCP or solvents. The lack of solvents allows you to carry it in the plane and not worry about spills. The value is similar if you compare cost, usage and effectiveness to TCP. They do work. If you use it consistently you'll get much less lead build...

I have a 2nd gen Chevy Volt...It always shows power usage and is VERY accurate. At 40 mph it uses around 6kw of power. I don't get the 750 watt per hp number. if that's true then I'm only using 8hp to go 40 mph?

Is it possible that the Pushrod(s) are too long?

Signature is probably already working on a brochure titled "Charges for your Charges" :) Seriously, the Tesla Supercharging stations can do a 75KW pack to 100% in less than an hour. The OP was calculating for 5 hours of flight which is pretty much unattainable with current tech. The 75kw pack...

Kinda sounds like this:

Getting behind the airplane

I have a new Surefly Electronic Mag on way. I've been reviewing the installation and it looks pretty straightforward. Given the standard setup on most aircraft it appears the best mag to replace would be the left one for better starting. There are 2 youtube videos (both on Grummans), that...

Weight savings is the big positive. Cost and another point of failure (the controller/regulator hardware) are negative IMO. I'm a fan of Lithiums and own an electric car but I'm not yet ready to swap out an AGM for something with the potential to be less relaible.

Another vote for Stratus ESG. You asked price vs dependability and they are reasonably priced and VERY dependable. It was also brought up if he wanted in and out and did he have WAAS GPS. Stratus has 3 options. Panel mount with using customer WAAS GPS, one with built in WAAS and also a remote...

There should be a voting field for "not paid at all". I live on an airpark in SW FL for over 30 years. We had a lot of older pilots who were seasonal and weren't that comfortable or current for longer trips. I would run a few planes back and forth each year as well as sold airplanes from the...

Oil filler hiss could be caused by all of the rings lining up (lucky) or a broken/worn ring or worn cylinder. Running it and testing again will tell which. If still low, add a small amount of oil into the plug hole, If broken ring, nothing will change much but if worn rings or cylinder, then...

IMO, logbook entry would suffice...You could get Mr. T to sign it off.

A Double!

After reading this thread, I decided to go down to the bar to get a belt :)

I like my Avidyne but updates is one area where Garmin owners have a distinct advantage. Avidyne is locked into Jepp and they are much more expensive.

Avidyne just put out a major update on the IFD units. It's available for download onto a thumb drive for free with the understanding that it needs an A&P sign off.

I'd rather have SPOT, because in the dog movies they always find their way home :)...It's funny, the FAA even calls them PEDs

Where you see REV IR* 10/19/2018--it says note 4 for the Comanche, note 4 on the bottom shows fixed timing only. The PA28s had it till just a few days ago and now note 4 has been removed.
