OK, here is the situation. The other day I get a call from one of the club pilots, saying that the Archer is running pretty rough. I go to check it the next day, and yes it sounds weird and runs rough. A check of the engine monitor shows nothing super wrong, but I notice that 2/4 EGTs are lower...

Would this be the place to rant about the **** quality of the rotatry encoder knobs (FMS) on the G1000? We had a screen replaced recently, and like clockwork the @#$@#$# knob started failing right after their warranty expired...

So the other day I got a message from one of the club pilots that the 430 in the RG wasn't getting a GPS signal. When I came out to check We did have the "GPS in not responding. Check GPS Antenna" error message displaying on the screen. Thankfully we still have a spare 430 I hadn't sold yet...

Thought I’d have to drive up but blessed be his noodly appendage, the RG opened up for the weekend. See you all in a bit.

LOL love how it's labelled "Germany" instead of German

So I had an oil leak in the 182RG prop, so we sent it in to get checked out. So in addition to resealing the assembly they found that the piston had worn past spec. Turns out the hole in the center of the piston had worn out and was letting poil pass through. It appears from the wear marks that...

Do you have a radio coupler? Our archer has the DG wired directly to the piper autocontrol (Century IIb). In digging through the Garmin install docs, the 275 is not able to drive the Century without the Radio Coupler.

You should just polish it out...

There is a sundowner, and a tiger on the southramp at Truax. Ping me via PM, and I might be able to introduce you.

Hi all. Our glorious pilots seem to not be able to keep their greasy fingers off the G1000 screens, so now the Garmin anti glare coating is looking like crap. Now I have a few questions. Is there a way short of replacing the GDU104x to fix the coating? If so what have you actually done...

a 58P flies like a Lear...

The one you are thinking about, but it is a legit issue I verified yesterday ;-)

So I am trying to chase down some engine issues on our O-540-J3C5D in the 182RG. The complaint I got was from another pilot that the engine ran rough during the landing at low power settings. High power settings seemed fine. So I test flew it and indeed at full rich and at 12-13"MP it was...

Stadium pal.

Hi, I now have what appear to be two corrupted WAAS data cards. I've tried loading the current nav data to the card, and when it goes into the 430W it appears to load OK, but there is no aviation nav data available. Is there some some of diagnostic/reformatting process that can be done on the...

LOL I was there in a 182, and the line of biz jets waiting for IFR release was rediculous. I was glad when the ground controller askred if I was able to accept an intersection departure ;-) I only have experience with Title Town (now the Signature FBO), and they are great All fees are waived...

Hmmm he got through KCM out of uniform???? :rimshot: Yeah I know this is in the UK, and the KCM kerfuffle is over...

Well might as well start the tank you and made it home thread. Thanks to Diz, Brad, and Ed for hosting us for yet another fantastic Sidnaw Fly-In. You guys put in a ton of hard work and it shows every year.

Sorry I didn’t recognize the plane otherwise we would have said hi before blasting out of N Fox
