Using some real thermocouple connectors would likely solve most of the problems with connections like this.

I’m rated but haven’t done any float flying for a couple of years now. There have been too many other things going on.

What is the latest information on Canadian ADSB compliance and do you intend to comply with their requirements at some point? With what you’ve got for radios right now I can understand the desire for a simple add on means of compliance. You might be able to find a used GTX335 with built in GPS...

It would help if we knew what radios and transponder you currently have in order to make a recommendation for a path to compliance. But without knowing anything, I’d suggest the GDL82.

Some very early production ones did too, if memory serves me. I believe a set was actually found a few years back. The choice of magnesium for the ruddervators seems to revolve around strength vs. weight for control surface balance. I know there have been some attempts to come up with an...

The early Bonanzas had different ruddervators than later models but they were still magnesium.

Typical for this board. The common theme seems to be to focus on the theoretically possible cause while the real problem is staring people in the face but being ignored.

Did you guys miss that Bryan says the resistor was installed across the posts on a fuel gauge, NOT the oil temperature gauge? I think there is fixation on something that is installed in a separate circuit, unless Bryan is wrong on where it was actually installed. As Dan mentioned, the single...

Depending on your long term goals with the aircraft you may consider an intermediate option such as an Aerospace Logic oil pressure and temperature combination gauge as a fix. In the long run, eliminating all the old instruments is probably in your best interest for ongoing supportability as...

You posted the photo of your meter connected to the resistor while I was typing that. Look at the display on the meter in the photo, it is showing 850 ohms, which is well within tolerance for that resistor. In other words, it is fine. As an aside, I don't think it has anything to do with your...

Curious. How do you plan to test it with your multi meter if you don't know what the result should be? Here's the secret decoder ring. It's 820 ohms if you don't want to try any harder. https://resistorcolorcodecalc.com/

Read the photo Ryan posted closely. It will tell you what you need to know. FYI - I have heard of at least one FSDO checking data cards when doing inspections to see if the cards are correct or not. So take that into consideration when making a decision.

And yet the common solution is to add more electronics, such as an engine monitor, when the electrical problem can't be figured out. Makes total sense, ha.

It carries the same risks that using AeroShell “plus” oils in a Continental with a friction drive starter adapter does. In those applications it is probably best to steer clear of any oil that has the Lycoming antiwear additive in it and use Camguard if extra protection is desired.

The reason I have suggested what I have is because I think there is a configuration error, not anything wrong with the device itself. But since you've concluded that the configuration can't be wrong on two separate units manifesting the same problem with no external connections except for power...

The distances and speed you’re off by are close enough to what I’d expect to see if kilometers that I’d suggest checking what unit of measure you have selected. As far as altitude goes, anyone that has been messing with GPS for a while should know that it won’t exactly match what you think it...

A couple of things to note. A hand held GPS such as an Aera won't show indicated airspeed or true airspeed. It will display ground speed, which can be significantly different depending on winds aloft. It also will not show altitude in MSL or AGL. It will likely be close to MSL but probably not...

Victory or any of the AeroShell “plus” oils should be acceptable for the 76 series Lycomings. But if you’re happy with 15w50 I see no reason to change.

https://cares.faa.gov/home You can view the data available for aircraft of interest here. You just need to create an account to do it. Edit: It looks like registration data is all you can access at this point. I believe they had other data accessible previously, but I haven't looked at it for...

Some/all of that stuff can be accessed online for free now.
