Looking to touch up a few peeled spots on the leading edges. Logbooks say I need Matterhorn white code 570-535. Is there a preferred place to buy a small bottle? Is there a "best approach" to touching up? Or, basically perform like touching up a car? Thanks!

I saw a hypothetical come up. Potential buyer goes full annual on a plane that is for sale. The A&P finds an issue that needs to be fixed in order to pass annual. The last, successful annual was done less than 12 months ago. If the owner say no and wants to fly it away, is he still legal and...

It is! O-470R. Even better.

Every plane I have owned, including the current one, has had at least one kx155. I agree talk about a missed opportunity for either a slide in replacement or a display overhaul to LED screen. I skimmed the thread. Are we still mostly out of luck for a replacement? Makes me want to buy another...

Thanks to everyone for your replies! 90% certain it’s the front crank seal.

Further diagnosis is pointing to the crank seal. How many hours labor did you see for yours?

Flew 90min this morning. Nearing the destination, I noticed some spots and streaks on the window. Landed and verified it’s oil. First check was prop and hub. All that looks clean and dry. Noticed a few more streaks on the cowl near the front. The oil cooler is wet in several areas. Any chance...

Thanks for the info. I’ve heard 25-30 hours. Was trying to estimate high. What have you seen?

So this just happened. Took off this morning and all of a sudden noticed a 4” vertical crack near the defrost. There have been a few tiny specks in the windshield there for the longest time. I assume one of them was bound to go eventually. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Makes me...

Preheat and continuous heat are such a hot (no pun) topic these days. I see it argued a lot on the flying facebook groups. My concern with Tanis' claim of constant heat is that nobody other than Tanis claims that. How they explain it makes sense, in theory, to us non-scientists, but I wish it...

Thanks. Problem is I can’t recall if it was like that before. I thought the yoke hit a hard stop at full deflection. I never paid enough attention when running the controls through the checklist.

I have an oil sump heater that came with the plane. It works, but under 20F it struggles. Just got a hornet heater to use as well. I want the cylinders and panel to get some good heat as well.

Just had a brs chute installed on my 182H. I believe they loosen the aileron rigging to install the parts around the wing. Plane flies fine and seems identical to before (with a more rearward CG). However, I can’t recall if the ailerons were like this before. Checking the controls for max...

I can try to grab pics. Last owners were definitely filing and flying IMC. So they thought they were legal.

Yep. I’ll make sure my instructor asks ahead of time. The examiners in the area all have good relationships with instructors.

The legal interpretation posted above seems to clarify it. Apparently any permanent device like a radio or transponder with clock functionality satisfies it. As long as you can get hours:minutes:seconds.

Yeah they overhauled the entire panel. Engine monitor installed. The clock disappeared somewhere along the journey.

Haha! Unable to shoot any approaches sorry. Want to do any more timed maneuvers? :D
