    Had my first annual with PJ based on recommendations here. Very happy and very fair pricing. Had a cylinder #3 problem that PJ uncovered and frankly was not a surprise as suspected something was going on (compression on that cylinder had dropped significantly the previous annual) PJ sent me borescope pics of the burnt exhaust valve and kept me in the loop for all decisions. Got my plane back and all was good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think you will need both with dual G5’s with one of them as an HSI and you want to use the AP in heading mode. Without it you will only have GPS track mode. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    1000 pounds of people in my 67 C? No problem. I even have enough room for 4 gallons of fuel. I can taxi them all around the airport. There is your airplane ride [emoji16] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    1300 hours in my 67 C and my doors are not stained. Lots of good leaning advice, but I still would want to know what your oil consumption is. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Don’t know. They were surviving only because the alternatives were so expensive. That has changed. It does not look good for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I used to rent a lot. Now I just UBER everywhere and rent only when absolutely necessary Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    It has already been mentioned, but Spruce Creek is really cool. Good restaurant and I just love the whole vibe of that place. Been there 3 times and was invited each time by a couple of different folks. I think legally you need to be invited but not sure if they really hold you to that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Surprised no one mentioned Flagler (KFIN). High Jackers right on the field. Good place to eat. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Everglades Airpark (X01). Great during crab season. Restaurant phone numbers posted on terminal building. Call the restaurant and they will come pick you up at the airport and drop you off after you finish. Sometimes I’ll stop there on my way to the Keys just to refuel and avoid paying high fuel prices at the Keys. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    That is unsatisfactory. If you are gracious enough to lend someone here a tool you should expect to get it back. He may have just forgotten to return it in which case you should remind him. If still no joy then it’s a stolen tool and you should call him out here. I have offered to lend tools here before so definitely would want to know who NOT to lend tools to.

    Considering that it is just you and your wife an older F, E, or even a C with a great panel may be a good option. Certainly an E with a very good IFR panel and Autopilot may work very well with your budget and still give you the speed you are looking for while keeping maintenance cost down.

    Had mine to 16500 once and she was still climbing. Curious what MP were you able to develop at 18k Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Zulu 3s for me. Zulu 2 before that. I don’t like ear plugs and the Zulus work great in my C. I think you will find choice of headset is pretty much a personal preference. Lightspeed has good customer support. I ran over the cord with my seat once and they fixed it quick and a no cost. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Absolutely. In less than 5 minutes is academic, but in those few minutes I prefer to actively manage my temps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have a 67C with an engine monitor. My POH says 26/2600 for cruise climb. I have tested this and WOT climbs at the same speed in the summer here in FL many times. 26/2600 at 120 results in CHTs below 400. WOT/2700 leads to CHTs in the 420-430 range. I don’t care if get to cruise altitude a few minutes earlier at WOT, I’m not going to operate my engine at 430 degrees in a climb. This is a fact of life in carb engines and probably different for the IO360. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
