  1. they're so small he probably just sticks a toothpick in there. I didn't see any tape is all. Looks like a little metallic flake in the blue? I like it. Except that ugly prop.
  2. looks like you get those little micro cracks around the oil door too. Those are annoying. I never figured out how to avoid them. I hope they don't paint over your static ports
  3. are we seriously going to claim rainx is good for 5kts TAS? Like, really? Next you're going to piss out your piss tube and tell us it's raining.
  4. If the engine quits on one mag I wouldn't suspect a plug.
  5. So close.
  6. I know of a good mechanic in Watsonville, it's not far by air but not of any help if you're grounded.
  7. I can explain at great length what caused your delay if you really want to know. And they are correct, there is nothing that they can really do about it. I have already answered the same question at length on COPA once today.
  8. sort of. the ahrs isn't very good yet.
  9. I've landed plenty of retracts on the grass at crookston, it's all fine until you have to cross the hard surface runway.
  10. a few airports in my state have them and we see gusts higher than 50. http://www.airport-data.com/airport/apa/aircraft-photos:188.html
  11. Seems worth it.
  12. The rieff has a sump and oil cooler heater and cylinder bands. I liked it a lot better.
  13. It's the conversion of 6k aud to usd
  14. New plane has a tanis. I miss our reiff turbo xl These are popular with the cirrus folk. https://aerothermheaters.com
  15. For the system to work everyone gets screwed a little once in awhile. Otherwise everyone gets screwed all the time...
  16. technically, you're supposed to come off the VHF freq when transmitting to a mil aircraft on UHF, few do. I don't.... Mostly because the second I do I get stepped on VHF and have to play catch up to figure out who it was and what they wanted. The more I control the freq the better off I am. Also, your UHF radios sound like shit. No one can understand you. B2's are always on some whack route with 11ty zig zags and always have a request and you can never understand whatever the F it is that they want.
  17. I have XM on the g1000 system, but I still need to make phone calls occasionally or someone can listen to whatever they want and not have to share.
  18. you can get the clarity with bluetooth now too, which is cool
  19. huh. no shit? interesting. Post pics when you check it.
  20. I guess I'll order some. It just annoys me how insanely overpriced everything O2 related is. The mic mask they sell for 500 bucks is a 30 dollar respirator with an extra home plugged and a 30 dollar mic installed. Our o2d2 lives in the center console because there's a USB power adapter in there to power it. It's the best 1k I've spent in aviation, it doesn't save much money because we fill in the hangar but it sure saves a lot of hassle never needing O2 on the road.
  21. I need an oxyarm for the o2d2 I just have a hard time spending the hundred bucks for a 5 dollar part. I guess I should just do it.
  22. Our rocket had Aspens and the ifd540. It's still night and day from a Garmin perspective cirrus. Mainly in the autopilot function.
  23. That's why my moulded earpiece is in my locker and not on my work headset.
  24. They have a 30 day money back guarantee I used. The new plane is so quiet it doesn't matter but the Bose anr is a bit better imo. Ive worn Clark's since I started flying but I just couldn't keep those.
  25. I bought a onex and didn't care for it, sent it back and got the Bose. Can't remember what I didn't like.
