I've done rice paper and dope on a control line plane before.

That's no fun, I like the old ways of gluing your fingers together with ca glue while trying to keep everything square on a sheet of drywall on a template with push pins.

Rumor has it the pump comes from a soft serve machine and they just resell them.

It's your airplane you operate it how you want. I choose not to operate that way in untested equipment. The sad thing about the boots is you'd think you would cycle them before encountering ice to test them. I've never flown a booted plane...

Working on it.

Well, in the cirrus it's redundancy and fluid capacity. Two pumps, twice the capacity, windshield spray bar etc. Also better tail coverage. Though the prop slingers coat the shit out of the windshield... Too many issues with panels wetting out fully for me to put much faith in any TKS, but I'll take fiki to over nothing. If the god damn airplane would hold together long enough to go find some weather this winter I'd go test it but noooo our mechanic had to destroy our engine. The Mooney's all have 5ish gallon takes iirc. But the fiki adds a heated stall and maybe heated fuel vents and other nice to have stuff in ice.

The point is you need to treat no hazard TKS as if you have none at all. I would not dispatch into conditions I feel icing is even a possibility with either system and the cirrus no hazard TKS is pretty good I think.

I would too if I could swing it.

Me too. A fiki bravo is a heck of a bargain on the market. Don't settle for inadvertent, it's like not having TKS at all and you're never sure you can depend on it to get you out of trouble. Though the same might be said for any TKS, lol

a million is about all I can get, more important are the sublimits. I can't get 1mil smooth, but I can get 1mil/300k

it's a rounding error compared to the rest of the ownership experience. especially when it comes to turbos.

Crownair is a msc, so I'm sure they've done it before.

why did this guy seek out a nearly 7 year old thread and bump it to tell his story?

G5 won't send attitude info to your 150 so you either need the expensive Aspen box or keep the ki256

sounds like you want a fiki bravo.

I'm just about dumb enough to try it too.

I would try and plan the trip to avoid a stop in canada to avoid the complications, if at all possible.

What are your goals? Did your old one die a d you just need a new one or do you want better features like Bluetooth? I have heard great things about the Garmin 350 with ability to send different things to different ears. I'd like to try one. I have had the gma347 and it's ok, it doesn't soft mute well if music is a concern. I have had a pma8000 too and consider it basically lateral with the 347, I would get whichever was cheaper. From the ps website - Maybe you can find one used and save on labor. "PMA7000 Series – These audio panel incorporates a 6-place hi-fi stereo IntelliVox® intercom and telephone interface. Bluetooth is available in some models. They are all pin compatible with the KMA24 audio panel, reducing the amount of time it takes to install. "

No paperwork. It came from Alan. 33 is a remote mount so if he doesn't have a g1k or gps that can control it mine isn't of use.

what about a lever gun in something like S&W 500 mag? 440gr of get away from me https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1001467040/hsm-bear-ammunition-500-s-and-w-magnum-440-grain-lead-wide-flat-nose-gas-check-box-of-20

if I could afford the MX I'd sure love to have one.

Kind of makes me want an aerostar

Pretty fun movie.

If Alan doesn't have any more I might have one I bought off him that I'm not using I can sell.

Market for a nice j is stronger than a nice k. Be a lot cheaper to sell and buy a k
