  1. @jordanschooler With respect to this particular aircraft, IMHO, it is an overpriced unicorn. Nothing wrong with unique custom paint if that is what you like, but consider when it comes time to sell your market is going to be very much smaller. There's a reason this plane has sat for two years; it's too equipped and unique for its price point. Also, look at how much it's actually been flown over the last two years. My guess is not very much; that breaks my cardinal rule: regardless of what you buy, recent and continuous use is a very good indicator of how reliable the plane is going to be. Finally, if I wanted to spend that kind of money I would be looking at Ovations
  2. I'm having a little trouble understanding your issue. What do you mean by 'get my speaker to work right?' Is it weak, noisy, intermittent, ?? The fact that your ohmmeter reads different with the master on vs. off suggest a ground loop. You mention that you measured the high side pin to the speaker, but it looks like you just measured the low side (shield) to some random ground on the panel. I would think you should measure to the return pin on the tray pin, just like you did for the high side. Total guess, given my lack of understanding, is that the shield on the speaker wire is chafed and is shorting to the airframe somewhere along its length.
  3. Which is $65,000 in today's dollars.
  4. Yeah, if I need snow melted I've got bigger issues than battery life
  5. Why not swap first? The probe cables were easily long enough to swap 2 and 4 on my F; no rewiring needed.
  6. That is exactly my situation, as well. Especially on a hot day.
  7. Have you swapped probes with an adjacent cylinder? That's the first thing I tried to confirm it was really the cylinder and not the probe.
  8. Got it. Sorry, I couldn't offer help.
  9. Again, F model, but I've fought a hot #2 cylinder for the eight years I've owned. About 50 degrees hotter than the coldest:
  10. Not sure what you mean, but NO WAY an iPad is going through the storm windows!
  11. Not going to work with an iPad. That’s why, if the unthinkable happens, I’m hoping to just be able to fling it in the backseat and hope it burns out before igniting something else.
  12. Sorry, I’m skeptical. Trying to grab a hot flaming and smoking iPad and getting it out a door past a passenger seems a bit challenging especially while maintaining control of the aircraft!
  13. To be honest, that would freak me out! I never get any debris. I’d be looking for cause and checking ALL downstream filters. I guess I’ve always been paranoid and even more so after Fred’s accident.
  14. Good grief! Your risk flying around in a SEL GA aircraft has to FAR exceed the incremental risk from a Starlink’s radiation. People will worry about anything and everything, I guess
  15. Aha! I was reading the specs on the power converter in the second picture.
