  1. I believe you are correct. Permatex notes that Ultra Black is oil and weather resistant. I don't think there is any single perfect solution out there for this goofy airbox design.
  2. Interesting as when this job happened it is always around 50-60% in that room depending if there is washing going on...
  3. The hangar elves who refurbished mine did it without any issues. I believe they used Permatex black RTV that was fuel and oil resistant along with fiberglass cloth acquired from eBay. The job took place inside of a laundry-room at 70 degress F and was let to dry for a week or two on top of the washing machine before they remembered about the project... A little bit of that RTV goes a long way even when you soak it into the 1" wide strips of the thin fiberglass cloth. But just like anything else, work with thin light coats that are let to fully dry before adding anymore layers.
  4. You're right - this should keep you comfortably close to 994PT's arrangement. I wonder if you'll be looking for your ITT and N1 gauges...
  5. This saved my bacon a couple times due to a sketchy gyro AI. I no longer need this. Includes what you see in the photos. Has the upgraded GPS antenna. I do not have the suction-mount as the Mooney-buyer refused to return it to me (along with my headset, etc. long story...) It does include the panel-hole mount though. There is a horizontal white line that is visible at near the top of the screen. That is the only discrepancy with this and that line does not affect the operation of this device. It is no longer under warranty. Photos were taken today (14-AUG-2023). $300 shipped with insurance to anywhere in the CONUS. Check or PayPal accepted.
  6. Check your umbrella policy/contract for specific aviation exclusions. Some do not rule out aviation related events. Consider shopping around. My life insurance broker couldn't find me a life policy without ridiculous exclusions specially because I am a pilot (no coverage on non-121 flights,etc). I went to Pilot Insurance Center and they found me a policy (written by North American) that was actually cheaper than what the other guy quoted AND I can fly the damn plane... The comment about rude Canadians made me spit out some of my beer when I read that (Sleeman's Cream Ale); was quite hilarious to me but I live in the states so maybe my instinctive rudeness has been kept reserved due to the Red White and Blue.
  7. I used to lease an M size tank and refill it myself. So much cheaper and way more convenient. Some MS members use a cascade of multiple tanks. Be sure to read your hangar agreement before investing into your own refill station. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk
  8. KiaoTime Auto Switch Worked fine the last time it was hooked up to the M20D. Lots of discussion on how this setup works on MS. Can be upgraded to also send back temperature data but I never bought the temp sensor. I was paying $15/quarter for service via H2O Wireless. You can just text it directly or use an app. Shipping will be actual cost and I get commercial rates.
  9. Is there a security camera that watches the runway there? It would be interesting to see the replay.
  10. What did BA pay for FF? I see the press release stated “will enable us to compete and win in the $2.8 trillion, 10-year services market.” so I assume it wasn’t cheap. FF reportedly had 180 staff members as of May 2019.
  11. FYI for anyone that wants to dump FF but access the logbooks. This is easier for dedicated tablets. Prior to account expiration, disconnect from the network prior to opening the FF application so it doesn’t download any updates. Make sure it’s offline prior to using the app and also backdate the clock. This will buy you some time so you can print out/save pdf’s of your logs.
