  1. Plenty of other options with ac. Pick one.
  2. you don't have to go turbine to get AC.... most of the sr22 g5's have it. A lot of the G3 I'm sure it was available on the o and a
  3. it's a lot easier to do what you did, and buy a plane with AC.
  4. I haven't compared the soft side, but the hard side coolers are pretty comparable.
  5. sometimes they just get gummed up and an overnight soak in carb cleaner will free the little internal wheel up. YMMV but my last one ran fine until I sold the plane after a soak.
  6. the liner is all one piece and the exterior shell is bonded rubber like material, you'd have to puncture it to get it to leak. I think the zipper is waterproof too if it fell over but I haven't tested it. I think I have the 30 but it's hard to tell. I can measure it if it came down to it. It's sort of hard to get a feel for their size from the website. I ordered a hard side too but deemed it simply too heavy for flying. It's a quality product, I can say that with confidence. When we go out for a week we tend to make multiple stops, so I'll load it up with cider, beer, cokes, lunch materials, snacks, water, you name it and haul it from spot to spot. Take it on beach BBQ's, picnics... it's been everywhere.
  7. I feel like this was discussed before and the consensus was not enough capacity
  8. Absolutely not. Things like 2 inch thick walls. Usually I keep it in the back seat and I keep food, drinks, snacks, and I carry a charcoal grill. I use 2lb ice packs that usually fit in the small hotel freezers but ice works in a pinch. I don't remember what size mine is, not the smallest but 2nd smallest I think, it fit great in the back seat of the k models.
  9. I use an rtic soft side for travelling. It's good for 2 or 3 days with ice packs
  10. I don't think you'd find a fiki sr22t in budget so the bravo or 252 is probably the way to go. I think a fiki g3 is going to run 420k ish. Don't waste your time with the no hazard shit. Get the fiki with redundancy
  11. I probably can, depending on how the ppi goes on our plane. I'll know by mid to late next week
  12. John works on our Cirrus too. They're busy but they're phenomenal.
  13. I don't really hang around the airport. Hope your hangar faces anything but west. Ours is a bitch in the winter. The class is good, a bit basic. I'm sure bill Dunn is still teaching it.
  14. The airport owned hangars are about a 10 year wait list. We're due west of the port a ports in the blue hangars but our plane is under contract. If you need an O2 fill or something in a pinch give me a shout. I have a Mooney adapter around here somewhere. If you don't have your own, suggest purchasing a fill setup. Signature wants more every time. I'm not sure if sheltair does o2
  15. Time to make friends with Scott at Arapahoe aero. Don't waste your time with the shops at bjc and eik. Scott's a Mooney guy from back a ways. I'll take Scott's shop over Maxwell any day.
  16. Ah yes, the great risk assessor we have here. More worried about a cloud than a chunk of aluminum less than a mile closing at 400 knots. We all bow down to your superior intellect.
  17. Ignorance is bliss. I'm betting you would be shocked how many targets you pass within a mile or two of and never see and therefore don't know they're there.
  18. Around here close calls are common. I was flying an approach vfr with a ii and passed directly over a Piper 200-300 feet. Adsb allowed us to spot him early and keep eyes on him It was close enough I could see the pilots face, he never looked up so I don't think he saw us.
  19. Www.Lkq.com Point being his time is worth something.
  20. I guess the question is, how many hours did you spend looking for the part and how much would a used ECU from a junkyard cost?
  21. there's a guy that sells bigger doors, for like $5,000. They'd be lined up to buy smart stem for $1.5k Seriously, if I had the slightest clue how to get an stc I'd be on it.
  22. the cirrus guys would easily pay that, you'd make a mint if you stc'd it for them. The access holes in the pants are really small and hard to access the stems. Not sure I'd trust the caps not to leak though.
  23. Big fan of this for the belly http://www.avlab.com/product_p/avl-facd-ii.htm
  24. He put the part number in the title so I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it's this one https://lasar.com/doors/inner-main-gear-door-550060-001
