…but the handheld compass remain steady/normal indication while engine rpm was at 2500.

Here’s the latest from today’s flight… The compass goes nuts (spinning like crazy) when my engine rpm is above 2500. I brought along a separate compass and nothing happens to this portable compass while I’m running 2500 rpm. At 2400 rpm, the compass is steady and normal.

I went for flight yesterday.The compass was just spinning like a top through cruise climb and while I leveled at 2500’ MSL for about 15 minutes. Once I cleared the bravo airspace I climbed to 4500’ MSL. The compass held a heading that was only 15 degrees difference from GPS, just gentle slow...

This may not turn out well for the folks that are waiting for (already paid) kits/parts etc. There's a lot of risk since its not guaranteed when the factory can deliver. If a large portion of customers waiting for their paid for orders do not accept the new pricing, the factory may not recover...

My compass has some how stopped spinning when I cruise at 4500 feet. Can altitude affect the compass?

Thank you sir. Didn't know about Nordlock. I shall check it out...

Thank you Bell206!

If an O540 engine exhaust stud uses a 5/16-18 thread nut, what is the required torque? What does the overhaul manual call out?

Its a rental home with a stand alone garage/shop. Its just short term during this Winter period.

That’s is awesome.Glad I posted my question - I would have never thought of that ‘tent within a tent’. Thanks!

My garage is not insulated. If I use insulation board to box in my work area during Winter, would that help keep in the warmth? (I would also run a space heater though.) Thoughts, ideas? Thanks!

I'm thankful for this forum and for living in this (still) wonderful country - we call United States of America. I'm most thankful for the opportunity to build and fly my kitplane - God bless America!

I'm looking at a used 2008 Ford Mustang GT with 122K+ miles and listed for $12K. It had five previous owners... Like your opinion if this is a buy to stay away from, or ok to buy if I like to tinker and work on it? Thanks!

Thanks for that response. I didn’t want to pay 3 to 4 hundred for another iPad just to meet the requirements of Foreflight (starting) next year.

What is the minimum storage for Garmin Pilot? I have an iPad with 32gb of memory, is that enough to use the app within a couple states? Thanks!

Yeah, I wasn't sure if we're allowed to name a business on this forum. I don't want to provide (free) advertisement, rather get a good part (name/number) I can use on my homebuilt carb heat control cable.

I’d posted under ‘homebuilts…’ This is not a certified airplane. To my original post, if anyone know a applicable part number that I can buy on one of the popular websites; ie sound like aircraft screws and specialties. Thanks

Hello, I’m looking to replace my carb heat control cable with a button on the knob to lock and a ‘cable end’ to secure it on the carb heat door’s lever. Anyone know the part number or name so I can order it at one of the website stores? Thanks!

I was just thinking about this the other day...to swing the compass I have to taxi across the airport to get on the compass rose. If I just remove the compass completely, I can move the convex mirror to the center of my dashboard and get a better view! ...rid of 1/4 pound of compass weight.

I should just remove the compass all together. I already have the EFIS, the Garmin and the Foreflight in ipad....don't think I will be lost. LoL!
