Hi all, Maybe this is a stupid question, but can my 420 be updated? I tried Garmin and nothing, but they have it for 420 waas, would that work? Any thoughts would be appreciated Thx Aaron

Thanks Craig, Do u know if 243 is one that required full cure or know where to find that info?

Thx Kenny, Actually loctite 243 is a sealent and is made to be removed with hand tools, it's a medium strength. I just don't know the difference between fixture time and cure time

Hi all, I have an oil leak from a fitting. It is loose and hoping I just need to apply loctite and torques (please, please...) Loctite 243 has a fixture time of 10min and full cure in 24 hrs. It's a rotax and I have to purge with a hot motor due to a thermostat installed. Do I have to wait...

Thx, will try that

Hi all, My plane was just delivered and I only flew it a couple hrs when I noticed a leak at the oil pump inlet nipple (bottom left brass fitting in attached pick) By twisting the hose, the nipple would move. So I tightened it with a wrench. It tightened until it bottomed out. Seems like it...

Thx again fir the input. I will use non ethonal, even though it might non be ideal with my location. I bought an awesome gas can so at least fueling isn't hard. https://www.surecanusa.com Check it out, I put the can on the main spare, lower the nossle into tank, and press the button....presto...

Thanks all for the reply. If fuel line are safe for ethanol, would they still last longer with non ethanol fuel? Bell, What's the fuel look like after a week?

Hi all, Picked up my first plane, an eagle ea 100. They only made a couple and went out of business. Also called an ibis magic 700 in columbia. I know the rotax doesn't like 100ll and nonethonal fuel is ideal. poh says auto fuel up to 10% ethonal is fine. I have access to non ethonal 91...

Agreed! I think I'm going to take that same outlook from here on out.

I never stated to him or this posting I wanted an o-360. He never asked anything, he just said no ride without contract. When i stated here about the motors, I was making the point that I wanted a 172 and just wanted to go around the pattern to see how much the different the motors where. What...

Thanks for the different perspective. My experience the last few months has been that it is hard to get brokers and owners to send pics of plane and harder for log book pics. So when this one showed up within 2 hrs drive, I texted him and asked for interior picks with no response. Then 2 days...

Haha...yes it is.

Have you entered into a contract without flying the plane first?

Nicely put. I do understand and agree that a brokers job is to please the seller and not the buyer, but in order to do that the broker should be civil towards the buyer or he/sheshe w never please seller

I agree if I asked to fly far, however I specifically asked if he could fly me around the pattern. If you can't afford to fly a potential buyer around the pattern, you shouldn't be in the business (my opinion). My time has been in an o-360 172 and this one was a o-300 172. Wanted to see how...

Sorry, but I have to vent. I know I'm stereotyping and want to apologise for the brokers that are good at there job. Maybe it's just my bad luck, but I have dealt with 6 brokers in about 6 months and i would only deal with 1 again. By "dealt with" I mean just calling to get information on...

Just ordered CD, any idea how long?

Always nice to hear from a previous owner. Think flying with 1 out of the 2200ft grass would work even on hot days? I could always just have a rule to meet at the best airport 3200 paved runway when flying with 2. It wouldn't be an issue since I am usually alone.
