Many people don't think about the Avionics (gryos) and cold temps. When I didn't have a heated hanger, I had a small, ceramic heater sitting on the hat rack. The instruments (and interior plastics) like it. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Aileron trim is one thing. You are basically holding the yoke against the heavy wing. Both alierons are at work. I am referring to trying to drop an down to compensate for the roll. It won't work and will result in more drag with the same problem. The alierons should be even with the...

Map gas is not hot enough. You need to use acetylene. If you put enough power to a laser pointer, you should be able to slice it right off. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I would say that if it works, keep it until it dies. But I would not replace it after it dies. If you need panel space, get rid of it. I don't really see any need for DME anymore. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

If you have a heavy wing, do not, I repeat, do not try to fix it by moving the ailerons. Center your ball like you want to with your leveling, but then go deep stall the airplane. Which way does it roll if it rolls. All too often, your problem can be found in the rudder rigging. If everything...

It's not a big deal. However, use some common sense. Get the bars designed to crank the spring. Above all, make sure you do not stand in line with the bars while you're cranking. If it decides to let go, and you're in line, you're not going to like it very much. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using...

No doubt flying in Alaska would be cool, but why not go to the airlines? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

You beat me to it. The 300XL requires a 3 lb sledge. I think it's in the installation manual somewhere. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I think it was in the sport aviation magazine, but there was an article about a bush pilot that would routinely fly his cub upwards of 19,000 ft. He used a combination of soaring techniques and watching how birds handle high altitude flight. One of the big mistakes most of us make is trying to...

At least you have a visual indication and you wouldn't have to listen to the continuous Morse code. Must have been a huge improvement! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Identify? My last airplane had one. [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

It really doesn't matter. At my airport, I can't reach them on the ground, so I have to either get a void time from the FSS or remain VFR off the ground. I can reach them about 700 AGL. It's really a question about what you are comfortable with. If you take off into marginal VFR conditions, it...

Instead of asking for a specific degree of deviation, simply ask for left or right deviation, whichever way you want to go. This leaves it open for whatever you need to do. If the controller wants to limit you, they will. But why limit yourself?

It looks like it's leaking around the bottom part of the picture. Before you tear it apart, I would try lapping in the valve. It might surprise you and come right back. I think it's worth the hour or so that it would take to do. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I would stick a borescope in and take a look at the valve. You might find it it's cracked or it just might need to be lapped. Either way, until you get a scope on it and look at it you really don't know for sure. If it's cracked and you take it flying you are asking for much bigger problems...
