    Yes, but if look at the OP original post, he mentions moving it to the far right and was talking about hooking up the audio for alerts, my reply was to this, because there’s no audio from the JPI. I would install it anyway, it gets your attention better than the alert on the JPI, I’ve had it both ways.

    Just don’t pick something outrageous, Im reminded of a plane owned by an Alabama guy, all red, inside and out with “roll tide” in large letters. Basically eliminating potential buyers not Alabama fans. I have similar interior color and went with standard flowing design with dark blue on the underside.

    Fort Pierce also built new hangars and there’s still a waiting list. I track J listings on controller, they have been steady for the last couple of years in both numbers and prices.

    I have veneer throttle without any button to hold down, an option if you need to replace your throttle cable.

    Many have backup vacuum pumps, I had an electric one which was 12lbs, plus vacuum pump and hoses, etc added up to almost 20lbs. All together I was able to reduce my weight by about 75lbs, and that’s not an exaggeration.

    But they can get moisture inside the gauges if left sitting in water.

    I used painters tape to cover the fuel caps, speed brakes slots and wing fuel gauges. An ounce of prevention….

    The problem is it will cover for a battery going bad, so you will more likely not have a warning until you’re AOG away from home and the battery minder.

    Change the oil, make sure you run the engine to check for leaks and circulate the new oil.

    Normalize means you can level all the EGT and CHT readings, makes it easier to spot an outlier. Your readings will never be the same across cylinders. Altimeter on the right is probably a secondary indicator, common for those with graphic displays like G1000, etc. Nowadays the G5 or something similar is used as a backup indicator.

    Good to hear, 2 days to CA? Must have had some minimal head winds, good weather and long days. Ive never been able to do it in less than 3, either winds or a weather system slows me down.

    Mine is on the pilot’s side vent where there’s no exhaust, it still reads high, I have another one on the lower wing I use if I want an accurate reading.

    You can adjust the OAT reading somewhat (I think +-6°) in the settings but if using for determining icing conditions I agree moving it would be better.

    I vaguely remember that you can lubricate the speed brakes without removing them, extending them and using a long thin stick IIRC.

    What is interesting in my case, the swings are reduced as the fuel levels decrease, you can see below where I switched tanks.
