Yeah, I'll probably do that next just to cover all the bases. I've tried to two different vehicles, one of which is our truck that regularly tows our travel trailer and a utility trailer. Haven't had any issues with the other trailer and both vehicles are doing the same thing with the cargo box...

Yeah, the only ground is through the harness. The brake lights on the box don't work, regardless of whether the headlights are on/off. The only thing I can get to work at all are the hazards, which will work it the car is off but stop functioning as soon as the car is turn on. Still thinking...

Totally unrelated to aviation but I'm stumped and frustrated so I thought I'd ask for help from the collective wisdom that is POA. Trying to get ready for our holiday travels. We have a Thule Terrapin cargo box that fits in the receiver hitch. It partially blocks the vehicle's tail lights, but...

Hey gang - I accidentally knocked off my transponder blade antenna while washing my plane on Friday. I can't find anything that actually broke on it. Can I just somehow glue this back on or do I need a whole new antenna? -Jim

Hey Paul, I saw 80A was back on the ramp yesterday. Did they let you know what they found? -Jim

I am chasing a similar gremlin in my C150/O-200. I'll be watching this thread. So far I've replaced engine mounts and balanced prop. Still get unusual vibration around 2400-2500. Jim

Late last year I ate a valve and had to replace a cylinder in my O-200. I broke in the new cylinder and changed the oil at 10 hours. Ran it another 41 hours and then sent Blackstone a sample, which showed significantly increased aluminum, chromium and copper. I always get the oil checked and...

It would seem to me that since depression/anxiety aren't explicitly called out among the mental health conditions noted and since Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro and Celexa are already approved under the current SI, there could be some relief at least for those on these four meds. That said, in this...

Is the defense bill (and the related PBOR) definitely dead? I thought it passed the House and had stalled in the Senate just before the Memorial Day recess because of a dispute between McCain/Reid/McConnell.

Didn't PBOR2 language get lumped into the defense spending bill?

Hey German Guy - Any chance you can post up a picture of your setup in action? I'd be interested to see both the valve that you got and how you position the can to fill the tanks. I have a couple of different can types in my mogas setup. I much prefer the VPs for filling and hauling, but...

Eric, you rock!!! Thanks a million for the personal response to my suggestions. 1. I do use your app to record Hobbs times and calculate durations for PIC and Total Time. The totals that appear in my currency tab look like the Hobbs total only since I started using MyFlightbook. I tried...

Kudos to Eric for offering an awesome (and free!) logbook solution. I have no complaints at all about the product and am now using it regularly. However, since the question was asked, here are a few ideas that I think could make it even better: 1. I converted from my existing paper logbook...

Philly POA beers sounds great.

I have a single digikey on mine right now. It's performing well, but I can't keep it upright. I have to bend it at 90 degrees and then wrap a rubber band around the box, otherwise it will flop over. Did you have this problem? The Reddit antennas look like they screw in. Jim

Awesome, thanks Ted! -Jim

Any recommendations on how long to run 100LL on a new cylinder before returning to 100% mogas? I had mogas in the tanks when my old cylinder retired, so my mechanic advised me to top off with 100LL and run through the blend but to use only 100LL moving forward during the break in period...

Thanks, guys. Appreciate the responses. I discovered the issue in flight so my troubleshooting was limited to reboot/reconnect, but based on your feedback I am more suspicious than ever that my adapter was insufficient. Everything "looked" fine (ie lights were on) but I'd bet that my usb...

Anybody know if it's possible to have enough power to light up everything but not have enough power to support the receiver? My Stratux has been rock solid for weeks. Tonight, while on ship's power, my wi-fi connection kept dropping off and I didn't pick up a single tower the entire flight...

Thanks for talking with me Adam. I really appreciate your insight. Jim
