Small chance the prop may go out of balance from the paint. BTW, its possible to BALANCE a prop using paint (paint the blade that needs the weight).

What kind of plane do you have?

If you use the existing wiring, its going to turn off when you turn off the lights. I don't think that will ever get certified. I I wouldnt want that arrangement. You're going to have to pull a wire and connect it to the transponder/avionics power bus. Still, neat idea and likely less expensive...

I had numerous tire kickers and one that came and looked and wanted a free ride (I gave it to him). Several called and wanted to bargain me down. Two wanted ME to deliver the plane to them for inspection with no comitment to buy or agreement on price. Two said some suspicious stuff (about where...

It matters more what sort of CFI you have, what airplanes you have to train in and what sort of working relationship your CFI has with the DPE. ACS vs PTS difference is in the noise. (meaning, not much different). Even if they are different, so what? You will be doing what your instructor says...

I was at Roche Island in the San Juan Islands near Seattle, and someone was doing scenic tours in a Waco open cockpit biplane (two seats and blanket in back). That place was quite scenic.

KFNL it is! There used to be an airport IN Rocky Mtn National Park. Long gone though.

Do the open biplane with two together under the blanket in the back seat tour

About 1 out of 4 flights get cancelled for some reason. Usually weather or aircraft maintenance. It can be pretty frustrating.

Landings are always frustrating for the student (and the instructor) at some point. Seems like the student has some success, then finds he unable do it the next well time out. Very frustrating. That and he is itching to fly and can't. Crosswind landings for the PPL. Holds and hold entries for...

For bank angle, just ignore the crosswind component. Only the headwind or tailwind component makes a difference in the bank angle needed.

The drawing appears correct to me.

Weight and Mass differ by the acceleration of gravity. But since gravity is the same everywhere on planet earth, weight can be used to measure mass and mass can be used to measure weight. In the English system weight is pounds and mass is slugs. In metric, weight is newtons and mass is...
