Thx!

I see about 1-3ppm in cruise...going to try those vents or sealing the tail cone!

I'm flying from so cal later this week, and wanted to see if there are cool places to stay overnight with my two active younger teen boys. We were looking at lake Shasta or Clair lake Engle to try wakeboarding, or maybe a houseboat, or a cool water park, or ? Mountain bike parks are closed, so...

Jesse and nordicdave, Thx both...will be flying a bunch this weekend and try those ideas both.

I have an avidyne IFD440 in the panel, and also fly with foreflight. I usually plan the flight in foreflight, then transfer the plan to the IFD, and then fly. Odd thing is that the panel heading bugs are usually off by a few degrees (5-10) of FF course when we are tracking perfectly. In other...

I have the pma7000 and love it. Clear, flexible, reliable and easy to work on.

Revisiting this thread I'm very glad to hear of others experience about flooding cylinders five and six. I just spent some quality time working on my plane and annual, and was able to remove the carb, use a blanking plate to block the intake, and pressurize the intake system, and found a few...

Mitch, I agree with #1-4 above, although from the screen shots you took from the savvy site it's hard to tell because I can't see the scale on the detailed one. You could go flying, make sure you're under 65% power, stabilize the temperatures at a hundred degrees rich of peak and then move to...

I also have the claw, which has been great off pavement. For fun, I made my own neon green tie downs out of rope, with an orange prusik knot to tighten and loosen it. Rope chic! The rope is tied at a swivel hook which goes to ground, then goes through another swivel hook (for the wing) and...

First, the IFD-440 is a touch screen, which is really nice. For instance you see a frequency you touch it and it's loaded. It also allows for you to use the rotating dials, so you have that in turbulence, but the rotating dials have different logic than the Garmin, so they actually make sense to...

Btw, the experimental manuals for garmin products actually explain what options exist, and are a lot more useful than the certified ones!

Ive been so so so happy I traded my 430 in for a Aivdyne IFD440.

I’m not sure a paper checklist can be made “best” for human factors. If you want a “best”, I’d suggest a grease pencil and marking a box to indicate “done.” People are not good with numbers compared to visual displays of information, and numbered items are only as good as the persons usage of...

I went with EI's MVP-50 in my 67 182, and also installed the cies fuel senders. Pros: + One unit replaced every gauge on the copilot side + Great support from EI + 1 second data reporting (helps find issues) + No issues with new fuel gauges (some do) + Have digital carb temp with master alert...

Do you have an engine monitor that reads egt per cylinder? I'm guessing you have different advance on your mags.

I bought my 182 with a 275 hp and other mods and got my ppl in it. It turned out to be a very good decision, as I practiced in the plane that I actually fly today. It did increase the time I needed to be comfortable though, as there's more to manage with more horsepower, and things happen much...

I can also verify that engine out in my 182 slows me down, but my prop windmills. If you can practice this safely, say above a long runway, prudence dictates you do it as rarely as needed to maintain competence for a unlikely event, lest the training becomes more risky than the event! That...

I have used my a20s in a pinch, but pretty awkward... Better to buy a bose or sony anr and uflymike.

I have operated as a relay aircraft while VFR over the Columbia River and talking with Portland approach as I had flight following. It was a rather long conversation with the plane under me on the ground... I was glad I had two radios. Three readbacks for every communication with long...

Sorry don't really have photos, because there's really not much to see! The nulites are behind the panel, and I think it would look goofy if you placed the in front of the panel, not to mention work worse.
