Well my CFI was able to get the 5 seats and all side panels of his Cessna 337 from 2 hides. How Lear used to do it was they would buy plenty of a colored lot to do their aircraft and once they had too little of that lot # to do an entire plane they would sell it to upholstery shops or whomever...

We were going to go fabric on the seats but after talking with my cfi he said he has 2 tan leather hides that he got from Lear a couple years ago with burn certs. Used 2 hides to do the interior of his skymaster and had 2 leftover. Gonna cost me $250 and I’ll have plenty left over. Now to just...

Absolutely. Already talking with my IA and he said he would certify whatever we came up with. Even offered to let me use his serger for when we do the carpets Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So we’re slowly bringing our ugly duckling up to at least a good looking mallard and we are getting ready to start on the interior. For the side panels I was considering aluminum but plastic was also mentioned for the substrate. We’re doing simple and clean for the side panels and I’ll end up...

Don’t have the mod and there was no indication of any issues on the top sides. That was just disconnecting the torque links and dropping the chrome plated portion of the strut and replacing the bottom side seals. Stoped by the hangar today to grab my sheepskin seat covers so that I can work...

No sir. Forget the measurement called out in the manual but it’s within a 1/4” or less Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No sir it isn’t. Probably an illusion from the 2x4 chocks I have there. Leave the one on the rear in place so I know where to stop when pushing her in for the night Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’d known since we bought 9068J that we’d need to rebuild the mains. She held nitrogen but seeped, very slowly, the 5606. This is our first plane and I’ve insisted on being as hands on as possible. Did owner assisted annual, installed new avionics with IA sign off and now the mains. I made sure...

Most likely what Walboy mentioned. @Let’sgoflying!, we’re still drilling. Finishing up a well right now and then heading to Mexico offshore for about a year and then off to Mozambique Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hang out with the old timers at the FBO when they are drinking their morning coffee and start relationships with them. I’m sure they know an IA that would be more than willing to do owner assisted. I am just under a year of ownership on my first plane and I was able to find an IA that let me do...

I recently installed a 430w, audio panel, transponder and g5 hsi and man is it nice after the “vintage” stuff came out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I snagged 3 earlier. No just to wait for them to call and make arrangements for me to pick up my new airplane. While I’m there I can go ahead and grab the scholarship and my new Bose or iPad Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don’t let the 12,500’ O2 rule fool you. For older people there may be times they need O2 at far lower altitudes due to diminished lung function from old age or other underlying medical issues. A small O2 meter for your finger and a portable O2 setup can be cheap insurance. At night I’d try to...

Don’t forget the always expensive “While we’re in there we might as well do .....” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We just finished a panel upgrade and threw in a g5 HSI and I love it. Takes the place of 2 instruments Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I was incorrect in my previous statement in that I initially had data and it would drop out. After looking it over I would never get a green check for the MapX data on the G5. I only thought I was getting data since it took it quite a while to give me the message. After looking over my...

That’s what it’s telling me. The message icon pops up on the G5 and when I go to messages it says no ra-232 data. I’ll check on it Monday and give you a call Jesse. Hopefully it’s not a wire but seeing as I installed it all I’m sure it’s not too terrible a swap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We just completed an avionics self installation under supervision of our IA. 430W, G5 HSI, new transponder and audio panel. Everything worked great with the exception of the G5 dropping the rs232 data. Didn’t have time to go through the setup today but should be able to Monday. Just checking...

I have a few items removed from our Cherokee during upgrade. I have a 14 volt KMA24 audio panel with marker beacon, KI209 , and a Sigma-tek 4000b-12 DG. All were functioning flawlessly before removed. For the audio panel I’m asking $200 obo, KI209 $750 obo, and DG $250 obo. Would consider some...

My wife goes to Lowe's regularly and looks at the clearance appliances. She never pays the marked price. Just bought a new dryer that was still new in the box but that store wouldn't be stocking that model. MSRP of $1200 and marked at $599. She paid $400 for it
