Thanks for posting that MOS site. What a great resource! I'm just reading this thread for the first time after canceling the same flight two days in a row due to icing. It takes very little to persuade me not to go. Canceling yesterday's flight was particularly annoying because it...

I just had two leaks fixed. Both occurred at the same time. One was the quick oil drain. It wasn't the internal o-ring. It was leaking around the crush washer. Apparently it wasn't safety wired correctly and backed off just a hair. The other was a bad gasket on the oil cooler.

Jim, I really don't have a good answer for you. I was flying for a bit with the data boxes turned off on the 430 and using the sandel but one of the data boxes I really like in the 430 is the vertical speed for decent planning so I keep the boxes turned on. I might switch it around. Are...

I've got both in my bonanza. It's always in gps auto mode. I keep the display set to just show my course line with very few map features enabled. It's a great little instrument but as a map - not so good. I fly with a tablet PC with current charts, plates, weather, etc. so the map...

Thanks Dan. I heard that there was one accident in a metal spar decathlon that prompted the AD but I haven't seen any specific NTSB report about it.

Here's a link to one article regarding the fuel tank problems http://iac35.aerobaticsweb.org/news/Hammerhead-Fall-04.pdf Here's the AD for the attach fitting http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library%5CrgAD.nsf/0/066242886CE596AA86256A49005C5485?OpenDocument Frankly, that AD...

Thanks Rob. I'm not going to push selling it. I only advertised on beechtalk.com and got a fair amount of interest very quickly. Right now, I'm back on the fence about selling it. I don't know if VanSant is officially open but that would be one of my stops. I used to fly in and out of...

The citabria didn't pass the prebuy and more good news - the gentleman that wanted to pay cash already bought something else :rolleyes:.

Hopefully, this winter there'll be snow on some of the grass strips near me. I'd like to find out if there are any fields in the poconos that might be a more reliable winter destination for some fun in the snow. Hi Dan - I mentioned in my post that I did want metal spars solely for the gross...

I put my bonanza up for sale a couple of weeks ago and it looks like it's sold. I've been thinking about going back to a citabria since I rarely used my bonanza for any real travel. I've got two offers. Both are very good. One is cash and the other is cash plus a very nice citabria. I wanted to...

I used penn for my bonanza and they do good work. I've heard good things about an avionics shop at Deck airport near Harrisburg, PA. I can't remember the name of the shop. Dave

Time??

I might be able to make it too. Dave

Gary, You've got a great airplane - stealthy too :D. Best of luck with it. Dave
