My guess is Buyer To figure tHat out.

Thanks all. I'm leaning toward the 750 + gtx345 + gnc255. I will do the math about combining the transponder or the navcom with the GPS as in the GNC 355 to see if any of that makes sense as well to give me some added redundancy.

Team, I upgraded my last plane’s 430W to a IFD 440, which was a great experience, and gave me lots of time with the IFD. I am selling that plane now, which leads to a dilemma. Just bought a T210 which has the G600txi, a 480, a 430W, a GTX330 (non es), with a STEC 55x AP. I would like to...

McFarlane has replacement Cessna Caps, and also sells the gasket kits, and in hundreds of hours I've never had one water problem with either flying in tons of rain.

I also fly behind the TSI 0520, and I was taught by an authority on Cessna 210's that while I'm in my descent, I actually will run the engine effectively extremely lean to keep CHT's high so the engine doesn't cool down as rapidly as it would if you just ran it rich during the descent. This...

Other leading edge cuffs like the sportsman's, horton, owl, and robertson droop the leading edge/ camber it down. I'd look to copy that approach. You should do vgs (microaerodynamics for example) before you spend any time on anything else though... They seem to keep the flow attached, which...

PMA makes a nice drop in replacement for the KMA24... I love mine.

I put CIES senders in my 182k as well. The head unit that you connect them to also matters, because they have different settings to deal with jitter. All fuel gauges will move up and down a little bit as you maneuver or fly, but mine are usually within two to three gallons of my extremely well...

Video was good, and curious if you have a 206 video in mind, because that has a different wing.

And when you have the batteries out, test the voltage...

And the self test for VORs will also not show on the g5 because it computes the info rather than the 430, and ignores the indications from the 430.

Flat-bed? Pull the motor and drive it somewhere? Good job on the landing though! Whew!!

This depends on a lot of things: weight, cg, length of runway, rough vs smooth surface, your wing, deviation from cas to ias at slow speeds... So kind of like asking: "what mph do you drive around a corner?" Depends.

Google for Cessna rigging guide... And do what it says.

Dynamic prop balance with an analyzer that does harmonics will be a great starting point.. Engine vibrations have different hz than prop vibrations.

Was talking with a guy on my local strip here who flies into Seattle quite a bit. It seems every time he went past a certain hill with quite a few FM radio transmitters, his com radios were lit up with static for a few minutes. This was so bad he couldn't talk with tower or with ATC. We...

My Continental and starter do better with straight weight, and FL suggests w100 with camguard.

I have seen costs typically around 1-2k total for an annual, and I could see 2 hours for inspection panels. I have removed the ones on my 182 and replaced them for annuals, so this is from hands on knowledge. Seems like a rip-off: if it takes them that long to open up the inspection panels on...

As a newish pilot, I have been practicing hitting my landing spots, exactly on speed, over and over at regular strips, and staying 100 percent on centerline. Seems boring to fly in the pattern after getting your ppl, but it really helps when you have to plant the plane exactly in the right...

A contrary way to look at this: pick any positive angle, lets say 7.5*, and as you’re “flaring”, keep the nose at that constant angle (look down the centerline to “see” this), and keep it at 7.5* while keeping the plane at the same altitude, preferably a few inches off the runway. If you keep...
