Oh wow. I had forgotten about that one. That thread was one for the ages.

I love my Rinnai tankless. Installed it about 3 years to replace an 80-gallon electric. I out the LP tankless in the garage and gained a whole new closet in the house. Love the unending hot water and no energy use when we aren’t home. As a bonus, my generator can easily provide the electricity...

Late to the game but looks like a Walter (Beech) to me...

I installed an Ashby in my C172N. I was happy with the end result, but the install was not fun at all. There as a lot of trimming required, and the shape / contour was off in places. The material could be softened with a heat gun, but there was a VERY fine line between "not hot enough to...

I am LOVING that paint job!

But where does the decimal point go?

This is so disappointing. I was a FlyQ user for several years, but never purchased a lifetime subscription. Just this year I switched to FF, for a couple of features I thought I would use, but don't really. I overall do not like FF as well as FlyQ, and planned to go back to FlyQ after my FF...

Not an engineer or GPS expert, but I own a PA-24 and just looked at the stabilator area. The lower beacon will experience significant shading from the stabilator. There may be times when there are enough visible satellites to give a valid GPS signal, but I believe that you will not get...

I recently acquired a PA-24-250 Comanche and one of the items on the to-do list is replacing the baffle seals. I have always used the red silicone seal material from AS, but am intrigued by the marketing material for McFarlane Aviation's Cowl Saver baffle seal material. It has a slick side to...

Guy flies into DEN and takes a taxi to town. As the ride goes on and on and on, he asks the cabbie, "why did they build the airport so far out of town?" Cabbie looks at him like he's stupid and replies "They had to. It's where all of the planes go."

Capacitive fuel senders. Second one is Centroid/Skysport brand. Aircraft or aircraft Spruce has them https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/fuelprobe12123.php Verify the length you need. They come in different lengths and can be trimmed.

Absolutely! I have done overhauls on 4 of my Lycomings, and assisted with several others. Pretty simple, but there ‘gotchas’ that your auto engine experience won’t help with. Need at a minimum Lycoming service manuals and parts manuals. There are companies in Kansas that refurbish steel...

This. A friend went down this route…. Purchases all of the hardware, but it had to go back to STEC to be checked / programmed. The fee for this and the STC at the time was 50% of the new cost. By the time you pay to buy the stuff and STECs fees plus installation it is a losing proposition.

FuelStik for Cessna Big fan of these. They come with instructions to make your own insert if necessary.

I am personally a big fan of the in-ear headsets (I use the CQ1 from Card Machine Works Headsets from Card Machine Works). I was an old-school David Clark kind of guy, but purchased a CQ1 for my wife so her hair didn't get messed up. I now have one for myself. They offer different tip sizes so...

OP here to close the loop… Ended up in town two nights so ate at the Drover one night and Blue and Fly the second night. Both were excellent! Thanks for all of the suggestions. And I bought the Comanche—what a fantastic airplane! Still transitioning to the complexity and how fast everything...

100% this! I pity his students.
