I have a couple of Turtlepac tanks if anyone is interested? 60G and 160G. I'm looking for a 100G tank, but if I can't find one I'll use the 160G tank and partially fill. Planning to use them in a Seneca II. Bought a Piper Gross Weight Decrease 'kit'' for the trip to reduce the weight to 1999kg. Significant change in Canadian and European nav charges. Aerodon

You got the wrong filter, a CH48108-1 will fit right on there.

I have a replacement gauge out of a 1986 for you?

It's always a challenge to make a neat installation of the JPI FF Tx. It helps to have a box full of the various fuel fittings to experiment with straight and 45 degrees out of the gascolator or into the carb. Then have a hose shop on speed dial to make up hoses exactly to length, with either straight or 45 degree fittings. I always have straight fittings into and out of the FF Tx, and always get it pretty level as per JPI instructions. The 90 into the FF Tx in the photo above would not meet my standards. This is necessary for the FF transducer to discharge any bubbles that might be entrained, and also to measure accurately. Then always band the fire sleeve. And punch and seal a small hole with RTV for the wires. It takes a bit of practice and rework to get the hoses to route nicely, and also not induce any side loads on the fittings. Don't be shy to get it redone to your satisfaction, now or the next annual. Aerodon

I would say yes, aircraft spruce sell a cap for lycoming engines. Aerodon

I pretty much always have one in stock, send an email with basic details (4/6 cylinder) to supercub180@gmail.com Aerodon

Get your head out of the sand. It spreads just like flu, but has 10x the fatality rate. Very low with kids <10, very high with seniors. Flu kills 30,000 people per year, probably pushes a lot of seniors over the edge too. Can you imagine if that was 300,000 in the USA alone. Our local neighbourhood is a hotspot in Canada, and a lot of people are being tested, 10 local cases, one fatality. I prefer the odds of high risk activities like flying, skiing, scuba diving etc which are around 1:10,000. Aerodon

I haven't looked yet, do you know where this resistor is? And on a related note, I have a spare PulseLite controller - is there any reason to ever have the wingtip lights in the on position? I'm thinking just put the pulselite in with one switch that turns the recognition lite on in the pulse mode? And while I am it, I don't like the Mooney avionics master relay setup. Seems to be a single point failure. What do you think of two 35A circuit breaker switches over on the CB panel for two separate avionics busses? Aerodon

OK, so why are there resistors in the wingtip recognition light circuits on a 1986 Mooney. Dropping from 28 to 14, surely they could have found a 28V version? Aerodon

This is timely, I was just studying the electrical diagram for my 1986 M20K. I am removing most of the engine instruments, and could not understand the 3 wire 'Hobbs'. One wire goes to the tach. The EDM900 has a 'tach' timer based on a certain number of RPM giving 100% and a Hobbs timer, and I regularly record every flight, so I think it is OK to remove both the timer and tach. Aerodon

Here's my layout with 2 x GI275's. Also Sandel 3308 for #2 nav - gets heading from GI275, so real easy install. Also EDM900 replaces all engine instruments. Also considering 1 GI275 and a G3x or G500TXi, going around in circles with the options. Aerodon

or a starter mounting bolt?

Agreed, my rule of thumb is at 85% of TBO the engine has no resale value, and may or may not have useful life left. Everything you get is a bonus. Problem is most sellers see it the other way, and say there is a good 500 hours left. Don

I'm going remote GMA35C, GTX345R, GDL69A, KN63, Aerodon

Here's this weeks work. Customer had two G5's installed on LHS, but needed to keep S-Tec attitude indicator for autopilot. So a little bit of a panel refresh, rearranging the layout a bit and tidying up the last avionics shop's work. First iteration was done in O.032. Second in 0.063. Unfortunately there was some connector interference, so third iteration was cut last night and painted today. Aerodon

Hi Vlakvark, Vaalie, here. I have the CAD files and a CNC machine. Have made several Mooney panels and am getting better at it. I tried getting CAD technicians to draw for me, but they just were not accurate enough. Especially with revisions, I got to the point where I thought my machine was inaccurate. So I bought Draftsight (a solid works) and refreshed my CAD skills. Been a long time since Wits. Now several iterations later I can crank out a pretty decent Mooney panel to your specifications. Busy doing one for a 252 and 231 right now. I have all the instrument shapes in a library, and can draw any others requires. Just finished a complicated RHS panel for a P337. All I can say is spend as much as you can on new hardware to minimize the installation cost. A new Garmin suite is much easier to wire, and with the new GI275 standby instrument you can get rid of you vacuum system. Aerodon supercub180@gmail.com

Yes, but the objective seems to be a plug and play upgrade. I would suggest buying a new GMA350C and you could get a pretty decent price for the 350 with a new install kit. Aerodon

What revision install manual are you using, my shop doesn't see that in Rev 3. Or maybe he is looking at the wrong page? Aerodon
