    Most tugs also have 36vdc also, my guess is it will be labeled ASAP if nothing else with a sharpie

    A little steep for me, wonder what the hourly rate is
  3. RLCarter
    How awesome, congrats on the 50 years

    I agree, its a lot like asking about TAS, we end up with screen shots of their GS and if the photo is wide enough they are usually descending slightly My IA charges 25 hrs labor for the inspection, you cant really compare the cost of an annuals, you can compare hrs charged but not the dollar amount. $1524 for an annual, oil change, gear pucks and misc is dirt cheap, the pucks alone are a grand

    Double check but most of the accelerated courses have prerequisites, your best bet would be get all that knocked out and just grab a local CFI, take the week off and get it done. If your looking to go to the airlines I doubt they care how you got it

    I might have missed it but I'm guessing it's your shoulder really hasn't had that much time to heal. It's always good to stay ahead of things but you might be jumping the gun here. I would get someone or two to fly right seat and show them how the gear works (auto gear) and fly your bird. You also might end up changing your technique for swinging the gear by slowing the motion down and/or breaking it up into stages that is easier on your shoulder.

    There's something like 640 screws on the inspection covers on the bottom of the wings on my E, it's a crap load.of screws

    A good sheet metal guy would have no problem making any or all of the doghouse, the problem would be finding them, there are 2 at T65 but both are retired and it's hard to motivate them (even with cash)

    Study up, maybe catch a "Rusty Pilot" seminar in your area then grab a CFI and get back in the air

    Give these guys a call Plane Plastics

    Keeping the engine and compartment clean reduces the risk of an engine fire.

    Looks like they are close to certification Certification Update, the tailBeacon looks like a better way to go?
  13. RLCarter
    thought for sure you hacked another one up....

    with an airbrush, you can easily blend it in

    the strap would bend the crap out of the aileron unless you used a spreader bar, most of us are treading on thin ice by doing the work we do anyway, might as well do it correctly by the book or the revised procedure should there be one like SIM20-114 above. I feel a lot safer laying under my or any plane for that matter that is properly supported by steel.

    I think the long bodied Mooneys have the jack point on the nose to keep people from using tail weights, engine lift point or prop jacks, SIM20-114 tells ya what they want

    A good friend of mine has a 2000ft grass strip that is as smooth as any paved strip, he keeps it well manicured but my concern is with the 75ft transmission lines that run across the south end or the 75x150x25ft hangar on the north end (no problem in either his Cub or Super Cub). The funny thing is his driveway (for a lack of better words) runs along the west side of the strip and will beat the crap out of you no matter what speed your going

    you can always use a scissor jack at the gear to raise the plane up enough to slide a real jack under it
  19. RLCarter
    wise choice, always better to be on the ground with an unknown issue..... sounds like it might be switch time, unless both "P" leads are open
  20. RLCarter
    I like using reverse twist (left handed) drill bits, same thing as above except most of the time the bit will bite and run the screw out. A variable speed reversible drill works best

    If I read this correctly, the light is the only indication of a failure? No loss of power, no mag drop when checked?

    @xcrmckenna What are you using for locking collars? Pix?
  23. RLCarter
    WOW, those are big enough to have serial numbers
  24. RLCarter
    When I had the headliner out I sealed my aluminum plenum with foil tape, I keep the rear vents closed which bumps the velocity to the front vents, rear passengers suffer some but they get over it....lol
  25. RLCarter
    A jig saw is too shaky in my opinion....and DO NOT over tighten the screws
