    G3X Touch clock as IFR clock?

    It is legal as an IFR clock. But if the G3X goes dark and you find yourself needing to fly a hold or an approach you might miss it.

    Please help me understand

    There really needs to be a monthly rate - in case you don't fly. Fixed expenses are still there even if everyone flies zero hours. Would be helpful to know how many shares / how many are contributing $125 per month. You want enough partners to keep the monthly maintenance fee as low as...

    CAD software for CNC router / laser

    I recently bought half interest in a CNC table with router and laser. The co-owner knows how to upload files, run the machine, etc., but doesn't have experience to teach me about the use of CAD programs to create designs. I have several projects in my head, but don't own any CAD software and...

    Certified vs Experimental LSA

    More information on the airplane would be useful... Manufacturer, model. where certified, type of certification, etc... As to making something EAB, that is only possible if it is Experimental Amateur Built. You cannot make a factory built, certified airplane EAB. Not ever. There are some...

    Can IFR in a LSA be legal?

    The ASTM standards which govern S-LSA do not allow operation in IMC. You can file/fly IFR if rated and equipped, but only in VMC. E-LSA aircraft can operate IFR in IMC if the operating limitations for the aircraft do not prohibit it. so you have to either build a E-LSA or convert a S-LSA to...

    I think I'll keep wearing my mask when the pandemic is over

    40 years ago when I was 16 my riding buddies gave me a lot of grief about wearing a Bell full face helmet, they didn't think it was cool, plus all the money I spent on it. Then I was rear-ended at a stop sign, flew off the bike, and landed face-first on the hood of an oncoming car. I won't...

    2016 Miata, exploded view

    That's really not a big enough hammer for under-car work... Having owned 5 MX-5's (NA, NB, NC, ND, now back to NC), the LSD is a requirement. Had one without it and didn't like. I did supercharge the NA, but the others I have left stock. They come with the perfect amount of power.

    Vor/gs antenna

    They look better with the legs pointed backwards. They work better with the legs pointed forward, at least in theory. When I replaced mine a couple of years ago, I turned its legs backwards. Can’t tell any difference in performance. The coax on the plane in question is almost certainly no...

    Type 2 Diabetes Diagnosis, while holding Class 3

    That's high! At least in the short term your physician is very likely going to suggest insulin injections. If you can get very aggressive about lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, weight loss) you may be able to come off insulin later. My understanding of the reg is that since this is a...

    [NA] Residential HVAC - can 'system' SEER be higher than component SEER?

    Yes it can be higher than the rating one of the components. SEER is a composite rating of the system as a whole. Not uncommon for the system SEER to be greater than that stated on the outdoor unit. Ask to see the rating of the system as a whole from the manufacturer or AHRI.

    Slick harness alignment

    Since installing my surefly, I have done a lot of cleaning up between the firewall and the engine. More than once surprised myself with sparks, generally a blown fuse results. The back of the surefly is in a bad place to have an unprotected always hot power lead. I ended up covering the...

    New to me Corvair engine

    IF the engine was truly built at a Corvair College AND it has been operated AND stored appropriately, that is quite a find and the stars are aligned for you. Unfortunately, William Wynne's reputation is known to scammers. There are occasionally engines on Barnstormers or Ebay claiming to be...

    Robot vacuums...............thinking of buying one...

    Having had a couple Roombas I wouldn't buy another; they didn't clean all that well and batteries didn't last very long. We currently have two Samsung PowerBots, one on each story. Very pleased with their cleaning and longevity. Both have been in daily use for over 2 years and still going...

    Portapilot - Portable autopilot?

    I used to have an autopilot for my boat based on similar concept. There was a small bracket on the boat, and one on the tiller. The autopilot just snapped into place when needed. Great workload saver when sailing single handed. I always thought something similar would be possible for an...

    Cessna 172N P-lead length

    OP here... Thank you! I had gone through the maintenance manual and didn't find lengths either. The lead times on the prefabricated p-leads from Bogert are pretty long in this COVID era. I reminded my customer that I was already responsible for about half of the wires and connections on his...
