  1. The 60-2 fits in the same hole, same wiring harness I would think, so I would expect a simpler and much less expensive install.
  2. Has anyone upgrade from 30, 50 to the 60-2?
  3. How much was new induction hardware?
  4. My J was 1800+parts, can't imagine turbo adds that much, MSC in Florida
  5. Given you need a new air induction assembly and the work involved I think that would be an expensive mod, yes?
  6. Which why it went from 201 to 205, in the late 80s if memory serves me correctly
  7. Since they refine it anyway, why not?
  8. 350HP! Wonder what specs are for that plane?
  9. That's not what happened in my case, you have to wonder if an owner self reporting isn't making the mistake to keep his plane's record clean Or is it the A&P that submitted the report?
  10. PIREP?
  11. My plane tail number also has an incident in DB, but it was for a piper, checking logs shows no repairs, since these are self reported mistakes seems pretty common
  12. I believe they fly you there, fly the plane back to it's base, then fly back to pick you up. So you will be paying for 2 round trips which explains the pricing. I sat in the cockpit of a Lear 35, not exactly a lot of room, I think my Mooney has more space.
  13. I don't want to drain a couple of quarts to just get a sample, back to my original ?, how much oil is required for a sample? I change the oil in my boat that way, but that's pulling several quarts, a bit overkill if all I need is a few drops
  14. Because that what they recommend, otherwise you must drain a few quarts before taking the sample, I believe Avlab provides a hose in their kit to do this.
  15. If I want to do an oil analysis in between oil changes, how much oil is need to sample? Is it small enough I can extract oil through the dipstick pipe?
  16. Why not just buy some octane booster and then you don't need to change anything? Or is the lead providing something other than higher octane?
  17. My bad, I forgot to reset fuel level after filling up.
  18. I thought fracking requires a higher price, like $85?
  19. I thought the 262 mod was a firewall forward conversation only,?
  20. Once past TBO, I would be careful who I had doing your annual, you might pick a by the numbers mechanic who deems it not airworthy
  21. I went to their website, found out my version is newer than the one you can download. I flew again today and problem was gone?! I guess I'll wait for another "cold" morning to see if problem returns.
  22. Anytime you make a definitive statement of opinion as fact about a topic you are going to get some blowback, examples: T&Gs are dangerous Good pilots don't need speed brakes Flaps should be retracted right after touchdown Garmin is the best Garmin is the worst Bonanzas are better than Mooneys Night flying is dangerous Etc...
  23. I'm sure you have told people you bought an airplane, and they said why would do that, they are expensive, commercial is safer, and you can buy a nice car, the plane is old, etc You probably just roll your eyes and think "you don't understand, I can't explain it", guess what....
  24. Doesn't that depend on type of oil you are using?
