    I say your chances of getting 3 bad boxes is near 0, but it being an install problem is 99% if the 3rd one doesn't work out

    What makes you think they weren't done legally? All part of my upgrade plan [emoji2]

    I was being somewhat facetious. I hate placards and and have gone about removing them from instrument panel, maybe that's just me, I find them unsightly, like bumper stickers, and don't belong on a otherwise very nice panel. we all use checklists, I have one for just for IFR, am I the only one?
  5. ArtVandelay
    I do have 1 criticism of your panel, I don't think you should have the 5 Ts placarded, what's up with that?

    I thought Aspens have a dubious reputation for quality and reliability, they may be pretty, but if they break, I'm sure they are expensive to fix

    No one in their right mind would consider buying a plane, upgrading a plane, an investment. It may provide extra safety, but you don't have a chance of making money or getting your money's worth. You do it because you want to, personal satisfaction, nothing more. Some are happy with a 50 year old panel, some are not. If it makes you happy, can't ask for anything more

    They already have perfect records of airplane ownership, if they want to assess fees, they can do it today, and even better they can do it without your plane leaving the hangar. Companies won't own planes, Netjet will, and they will not publish who is renting them. So yes, there will be plenty of opportunity to fly incognito

    You want it to shear off, dissipating energy, as a matter of fact if I had to ditch where there was no open area to land, aiming between two large trees 20-30 ft apart may be a good strategy, energy is dissipated and you leave the fuel behind you

    I can't remember any planes being hijacked before they left the ground ?

    I'm assuming the jack will get in the way of the airplane just as the car would. He is just trying to sneak the car under the wing...buy a Cessna[emoji6]

    BTW, don't forget anybody can monitor you radio calls, and with liveatc you can do it remotely.

    I don't need ADSB to take down an airplane unless I was after a particular plane, like Air Force One, talk to anybody who lives next to a class B, it's a target rich environment. So 1-3 makes for a good movie. For 4, Ever hear of Netjet, you won't tell one from the other, not to mention commercial jets. For 5, unless I'm going IFR, I just pull the CB while on the ground, once I outside the airport airspace I push the CB in, no problem.

    I don't the steel cage qualifies as a roll cage but is design to act as a frame to attack panels, not sure I would give the pilot credit either, I give the credit to luck that he didn't hit the tree straight on
  15. ArtVandelay
    Really?! I guess this was before radios and transponders.
  16. ArtVandelay
    You use a glider in class A, B, or C airspace? If not, don't worry about it
  17. ArtVandelay
    I had this done, the down side is the smell will be there long after the repair, it took months for it to go away
  18. ArtVandelay
    Oil analysis in itself is not a reason to tear down an engine, several showing a trend would definitely deserve a bore scope inspection and further attention, it's a symptom, more data about condition of your airplane can't be a bad thing
  19. ArtVandelay
    My MSC uses Avlab
  20. ArtVandelay
    If you're a CB, why not go with personal EPIRB, stick it in your flight bag? They are less than $300
  21. ArtVandelay
    Ditto for 830, in addition to FF you get oil and outside temp, rpm,MP, GPS, it's like having a black box; you can plot altitude, speed, position in addition to all the engine specs
  22. ArtVandelay
    I believe it's different hardware and requires an additional wiring harness, in addition to transducer it connects to your GPS to give fuel required to next waypoint, MPG, etc
  23. ArtVandelay
    Yes, HG100R (Halon H3R), mounted on the middle of the rear seat, on the floor.
  24. ArtVandelay
    It looks to me the main difference between 88 & 84 is the 84 doesn't interface with existing stack (650, 430, etc), if I read it correctly
  25. ArtVandelay
    I thought you can override this by pushing the test button, which restores display to full brightness.
