@Butch I, too, have never changed mine myself. But, step 2 looks like a potential pitfall: "DO NOT REMOVE the filter element from inside its frame". Your description of how "it will not install" is what raises my concern that may be the issue.

Yes. I turn it vertical and lock the screen to keep it from rotating.

BINGO! As @Marc_B related, the Mooney tank 'system' is just an engineering trade-off between various fuel tank solutions. They ALL require periodic maintenance. This wasn't an issue until GAMI needed to defend G100UL in the marketplace.

A little background on the judge in this case. Draw your own conclusions about his possible bias:

Thanks. Where did you find that? I didn't see it on the website.

It looks like the hearing in the CEH case was held today, but the court's website doesn't have the document available yet. So, no idea what happened. Anyone know?

EXACTLY! And, absent an 'incident', they can maintain plausible deniability. When something happens later then they can 'swing into action', issue an emergency AD, and say, "See, we're responsive" to a safety problem.

Same for my F.

Here ya go: 3) FAA 'broke the mold' with a fleet-wide STC approval WITHOUT demanding sufficient testing. And the only thing worse than a safety issue is egg on their face...they're 'looking the other way' at the moment.

Not sure if it matters to you, but I don't think the replacement displays are technically legal. Something to check if that's a concern (I could be wrong).

@Slick Nick How did you clean up the knobs/buttons? Or, is there a source for new ones?

I've got the identical setup: 430W, STEC-30 w/GPSS/Alt, and a KX-155. Mine is still 'ok' but when it's a warm day I'll get a weird buzzing that comes and goes. Sometimes I can get it to go away be reseating the radio. So far, not too bad but one day I'm going to be faced with the same replacement issue. The kx-155.com guy used to be $1500...woulda, coulda, shoulda! $2500 is starting to get painful enough to look at other options. Looks like a brand new King KX-200 (slide-in replacement) is $5,000. Twice as painful, but brand new. It's going to be a tough call.

I fly with a full sized iPad in my lap, just like I used to with paper charts. No mount at all.

I have received several DMs indicating that Paul Millner is a petroleum engineer that helped Braly develop G100UL. I have NO idea if this is true; I have not verified that in any way. If true, however, it would explain his court declaration. I would hope the court (i.e. the judge) is aware of his position, but maybe not

200 HP, same as my F.
