    Accessing rear of instrument panel

    CHT and EGT as a pigtail is interchangeable 700-800-900 and the part numbers are the same. JPi articulates cleverly how the part numbers for the primary devices must be different- RPM, MP, etc. No to repin’s? Find another shop. Or learn to do it yourself. Don’t feed the beast. DB9’s / DB...

    Total disappointment with 4 local avionics shops

    Lol - laughing at my significant other calling me grumpy over this topic. Flame suit on. IANA-IA, AP, or aviónics repair station. I’m a Joe. I have a few IA’s that have been friends a few decades. I’ve knocked out a GNS400w In an hour - and it’s not even my job. My first avionics install...

    Inexpensive ADS-B in solutions

    My personal experience / opinion: I am a non garmin fan. I find their business practices to be extraordinarily questionable and their practices highly unethical and immoral - as a capitalist, business is business - but Garmin does things beyond the pale. They make a decent product - I’ll...

    How old is too old for a propeller?

    Very relevant question I’m interested in. A friend is dealing with a purchased airplane where the owner sustained a prop strike when he drove his airplane into “mud.” The propeller was replaced new, and the airplane was not flown more than 3 hours since. The propeller is just over 12 years...

    Army Helicopters - 300’AGL, night, residential??

    And we believe homeland security abides by military flight rules? (Chuckle)….riiiiight. Mother Marine Corps was some of the most regimented flying I’ve ever done. 300’ agl over populated areas? Pshaw. LASD had a “flotilla” of nearly 40 helicopters. You think regular LE flies 300’agl in...

    How to start flying?

    The other day I found a fisher horizon for $10k, flying and in annual. I also found a certified two seater for $13k. Serviceable and flyable. How do I know? Hmmm. While prices have been inflated, these prices are realistically within reach of someone who saves money and works during high...

    Help with ferry permit in Angelina / Lufkin/ Diboll tax

    And that distinction is the crux of this post. The FSDO kept using the worth “airworthy” (new guy, good guy) versus “safe for ferry flight.” Airworthiness=annual completed Safe for ferry flight=inspection to the mechanic’s satisfaction to lend his signature YMMV. I’m in the middle of...

    Opinions on a C172C purchase

    You’re not ready. Why does the engine have only a few hundred hours AND then it was topped within another 200? Hmmmm. You’re also buying 6 cylinders, not 4…more gas, greater overhaul costs…and your avionics won’t be cheap. That is not a good deal. What’s your mission? Once you build...

    Traversing ADS-B Airspace Without ADS-B

    Oh my gawd oh my gawd oh my gawd! No adsb! Can you believe it? Having witnessed some of the political negotiations garmin engaged in to convince lawmakers how necessary it was to make sure planes didn’t fall out of the sky with burgeoning growth in aviation, when the absolute opposite was...

    Help with ferry permit in Angelina / Lufkin/ Diboll tax

    Ok. Different FSDO s are different. Some want the permit app filed and the permit is issued contingent upon the mechanics signature, others want the signature in advance as seems to be the case in Houston. I also think it may have some variance by inspector. I finally found a mechanic on...

    Help with ferry permit in Angelina / Lufkin/ Diboll tax

    Hey everyone! I’m trying to get a little 150 out of Lufkin, Texas- but there doesn’t seem to be anyone around the airport that can help with a ferry permit, so I thought I’d come to the main forum and ask….including airport management. Thank you!
