  1. 75 landings and 3 months on a set of Air Hawks. I would think you would have to do paperwork for an 8 ply tire since the Type Data Sheet says 6 Ply for an F. Type III 6 ply front and mains Might even have to update the weight and balance for an 8 ply. Even an 20S uses a 6 ply tire
  2. The clear plastic placards got blue tape with an exacto knife to trim the tape, then just paint over. The aluminum one got pulled and then contact glue to reapply.
  3. I used Dap Contact Cement for the inlays and arm rests and placard. Looks like what had been used prior. It kind of looked like that is what the factory used. Don't get it on the new paint, it will strip it. On the pilot arm rest there is a screw or two under the armrest so you have to install after the panel is installed.
  4. If you are going to the trouble of redoing the side panels might has well go full on leather. I used the same piece of leather for 3 burn tests and it passed. http://mooneyspace.com/topic/15889-2-leather-hides/#comment-225380 It smells really good when you get into the plane. I was able to do all the lower side panels and the baggage with one cow hide.
  5. Interesting. I have painted the original leather arm rests and the leather panel inlays with regular Rustolum paint. It working really well so far. I would thought it would be flaking off by now.
  6. The DO Defense created the GPS network which is why the hold the codes to turn it off and on and the fine digits. They created it for better navigation for battle field navigation. It's what cruise missiles use. the story is told of the former mission control room makeover. The tracking board on the back wall of MC was a piece of glass painted black with a x y nail that scratched off the black paint so a light could shine through.
  7. I was thinking about that the other day.... for a supposedly peaceful nation we have been at war with someone for most of our history. It almost makes you want to add up all the years of conflict and figure out the percentage It is also interesting how many droves and droves of bombers were launched in WWII and only 5-10 remain
  8. He is the Head of State so should receive those honors. The inquisition reference is funny because the Isam is still fighting those wars and we don't get it. "to the shores of Tripoli"
  9. The first computers were created for business applications, so not really sure that we need the space programs to navigate by our smart phones. All the other stuff in our planes came out of the war time flying.
  10. Should have specified the device. On an android the programs seem to like Stratux. Reddit and documentation don't really go together. You have to go through lots of dribble to find the gems of information.
  11. I don't know about the C, but the F I has has a big ole Capacitor on the starboard firewall that I believe is there for noise reduction. Capacitors have been known to go bad.
  12. SSID is on your mobile device when you connect to the wireless network that is created by the Raspberry PI. Port 4000 There may be a network to connect to in FlyQ. I would suggest "Stratux" as the SSID
  13. You can do it in sections.You have to remove the windows section to get to the screws for the lower section. I am 25 hours into a Rustolem Universal paint and primer make over. Did not do all the prep work, just removed the left over velcro glue. I did cook the paint in the sun for a day before reinstalling. There was one split that I fixed with Shoe goop. My panels were in ok shape, just a nasty yellow
  14. So there I was last night flying along no hands on the yoke steering with my feet hazy day but not too bad. PC leveler working great (gone through last year by Brittian) plane trimmed out thinking to myself this flying thing is pretty cool... One landing was OK the other a bit better. Overall the PC lessons the work load so you are not as tired out thus more alert and more able to deal with issues as they may pop up.
  15. Last time I looked Harris county Texas DBAs were not so online. Now there are, but you have do a login to get the film or go to the office. So then you are left to matching addresses with the online information. Which is not too hard either.
  16. Texas is $300.00 to register. No fees a year if your revenue is low. The problem is most states publish the registered agents and officers. If it is a Texas LLC I can find the owners in about 3 minutes. Montana looks to be the same. https://app.mt.gov/bes/ Also the FAA registration will show a transfer from your name to the LLC and the address are probably the same. You still have to do a tax report You did not mention getting your Tax ID from the IRS. I just use Turbo Tax. The hardest part in Texas was finding a name that was not already taken. There may be more anonymity by creating a DBA under the LLC. In Texas that is a form with the County Clerk and not sure they are online searchable. Not an attorney, not an accountant, every now and then I can do a nice landing
  17. Tang, microchips and hook and loop fastener. Got it. What has the space program done for us lately.
  18. On the lottery list Murphry Moose Bearhawk There were a couple of these at the airport the other day. Taxied out to mid field. Were off the ground in 40 feet http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/lsasport/just-aircraft-launches-stretched-superstol
  19. They are past due when they look like this. I think these were 1989 version
  20. If it is Airforce 1 when the president is on board, Is it Papal one when the pope is on board?
  21. stainless brush. Did not get it all just enough so the velcro would stick for the new carpet. If you are going back with wing walk (which seems to me to be bed liner with some sand mixed in) the old glue will just add to the texture. Cleaners and enclosed space and summer time heat seemed like a health situation.
  22. There is some stuff going on with the old design and training new rocket engineers. Each one was custom made and revised as they learned. They started up a fuel pump on one of the spares. http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/04/how-nasa-brought-the-monstrous-f-1-moon-rocket-back-to-life/
  23. Loaded up the version 2 and had some time to play with in the car. Was able to pick up two planes with both Avare and DroidEFB. For DroidEFB I was using ilevel with stratux changed SID in the options menu. Pretty cool.
