    Intake Leak

    Neither am I, but I'm trying my hardest to educate myself more on it. Previously I would've agreed with you, but then read this article, focusing specifically on the section regarding intake (then exhaust) leaks: https://www.avweb.com/ownership/troubleshooting-the-turbo-system/

    Intake Leak

    Just the amount coming out of a shopvac, so not a lot. I'm seeing maybe a 1" difference on the ground at idle with this engine showing higher MP than the left engine. I'll be checking for exhaust leaks this weekend as well, although I feel like it's harder to check for this when the exhaust...

    Intake Leak

    I have been chasing a power loss issue for a little while in one of the engines on my Seneca II. Finally got around to pressure checking the intake system. There were a few tiny leaks getting through where the clamps hold the intake hoses on. Those were easy enough to fix by tightening the...

    Lightspeed Sierra PIREP

    I've been using the Sierras for almost 8 years now, and have basically the same to say about them. They are great headsets at a relatively lower price point compared to other NR headsets. The "headband" is a bit larger, which is only a real problem when you're taller like I am and periodically...

    Must have product for every aircraft owner

    I usually don't pitch products, but I just couldn't stand not to share this one. This is an absolute MUST HAVE if you plan on owning an airplane! If you don't already have some, go out and get some RIGHT NOW!! You'll thank me later...trust me! :cool:

    Ability to search lawsuits?

    Does anyone here have the ability to search for active or past lawsuits? I'm trying to figure out whatever happened to a lawsuit resulting from an airplane accident, and am not having much luck. Just curious to see whatever happened.

    live in hangar?

    ...and local zoning regulations. Some cities don't allow it, some airports don't allow it...it really just depends on where you are.

    New Garmin Instrumentation - Look Good!

    Except that my airframe is on neither the GFC500 or GFC600 AML...AND my CIII is working perfectly...so...it's like Garmin is pushing me toward Aspen more and more every day as they are saying they don't care about my airframe or my autopilot.

    New Garmin Instrumentation - Look Good!

    If this would've included the Century III line, it would have been a slam dunk for a lot of folks. There are a lot of these units functioning just fine out there still today, mine included. I'm still twiddling my thumbs over here unless I want to spend money for an Aspen E5 AND the EA100.

    New Garmin Instrumentation - Look Good!

    Do you really feel like that's worth the money? I think someone told me it was a $3000 price tag for that. I love my GTN650, but other than display, is there anything that it does for me that's worth $3000?

    New Garmin Instrumentation - Look Good!

    Apparently not for my Century III. That's a non-starter for me. No incentive without full autopilot integration. Also, we're not being told what other equipment will be required to couple to these legacy autopilots. Surely there's a converter required somewhere in the process...

    Piper Altimac IIIC issues

    If you're serious about getting the Altimatic IIIc fixed or worked on at all, call Autopilots Central. They are extremely knowledgeable about legacy autopilots, and have helped me out twice with the Altimatic IIIc. Often times certain things can be adjusted, but others they need repaired...

    uAvonix has Acquired AeroVonics

    Exactly the reasons I was waiting. Plus, I believe that they were going to do what they said they'd do, i.e. make the certified product the same price as the experimental unit, full integration with Century legacy autopilots, and produce the HSI the public asked for. I've noticed discussion of...

    Portable XM radio solutions

    Funny...I get XM through my Aera 796 with a $99 per year subscription. Could've done it on the GDL69A too before I had it removed to sell. You don't have to have weather with it.

    Best Label Maker

    How do each of these do with smaller print? Are they both pretty clear? As this will primarily be for my office, I don't mind spending a few extra dollars if it holds up, is capable, and doesn't chew through more tape than necessary.

    Best Label Maker

    Interested in purchasing a new label make for a couple of reasons, but one of those is to replace some of the labels on my breaker panel. Every one of them that I look at seems to be 50/50 on what people think of them. Does the flying community here have one that they like the best?

    Flight Bridge?

    This. However, the number that I have is (855) 233-8990. Works flawlessly every single time, and the service is a step above the regular number because they are GA dedicated.

    GTX345: Review (Install + First Impressions)

    Traffic comes through my GTN650 (hooked up to the GTX345), so that explains why I've not heard that. The countdown timer I think I knew about, but just never use. The leaving altitude is intriguing though depending on how difficult it is to set an altitude. Rarely do I even physically touch...
