    OUCH! Glad my STEC-30 is NOT porposing...yet, anyway. 7 hours, YIKES!
  2. MikeOH
    If I didn’t “buy much F” with a GNS430W, STEC-30 w/alt hold, GPSS, slaved StrikeFinder, G3 Insight monitor, 201 windshield, PowerFlow exhaust, Ney nozzles, SkyTec starter, aileron, flap, elevator gap seals, cowl closure, dorsal fin mod, one piece belly, and speed brakes then please explain what I’m suppose to spend the $100K on, please?

    Been happy with mine. Nice tool to have, but I wouldn’t spend the money to install. Glad the PO did, though
  4. MikeOH
    Very happy with my STEC-30, alt hold, and GPSS. However, the plane already had it installed.
  5. MikeOH
    Thanks!
  6. MikeOH
    Yuup! That’s why I bought an F
  7. MikeOH
    WOW! What a story. The real question, at this point, is if your WIFE is okay with this prop going back on the plane?

    TEDLAR (DuPont) Poly vinyl floride based material No personal experience but used to protect highway signs (CALTRANS requirement), UV resistant. Not sure about abrasion resistance. Good luck.

    Please add me and PM link. Thanks!

    Yuup! Just finished my first annual on my F; just a hair over $4500.
  11. MikeOH
    I thought the TCDS controlled what was required?

    Interesting. My ‘70F has the 201 windshield and the brake fluid reservoir is on the engine side of the fire wall; easily accessible with the top cowling removed. I just assumed that was the stock location until this thread.
  13. MikeOH
    That’s what I have; don’t have to take ‘em off, thus they are always there when you do need to tie down. Very happy my plane had them installed.
  14. MikeOH
    Glad to hear you're back up 'n running:) My first annual is coming up the end of this month....palms are getting sweaty!
  15. MikeOH
    Technically, spelled Bowden...just sayin'
  16. MikeOH
    LOL! Yeah, been bugging me since I was at the hangar this afternoon trying to get it to work...brought the Zulu home and finally got annoyed enough to post! Should have done that FIRST!

    MS comes through again! That was it!! Feel like a DIP (tee hee hee)...I did RTFM, but only the section on Bluetooth. Never got around to the section on the DIP switch settings. Thanks again, Marauder!

    Hopefully this is an easily ansered newbie question! I have become the owner of an original Lightspeed Zulu headset and am trying to Bluetooth to my phone. The link goes fine, and I can make and receive calls, but the microphone doesn't work! I can hear, but the other end of the call can't hear me. The mic works fine when using the COM radio, but not the phone. What am I doing wrong?
  19. MikeOH
    Man, that is one CRAPPY weld...is there ANY penetration??? Sure doesn't look like it!
  20. MikeOH
    I have had some recent experience troubleshooting the control box. PM me if you want the schematic.
  21. MikeOH
    With a schematic to the box you can manually trace each wire and figure out which pin goes where in the connector block. Pain in the arse, but that's likely what you need to do. The wires MAY be labelled (they are on the wires going into the mating connector block, but I'm not sure about the wires in the control box itself. PM me if you need the shematic.
  22. MikeOH
    Amen! I really like the idea of an actual, accurate, fuel gauge.
  23. MikeOH
    Thank you! I'll work with my mechanic on this on the next oil change if running at 7 qts doesn't change anything.
  24. MikeOH
    Perfect! Thank you! Do I have to drain the oil to inspect, or is it above the oil level in the sump?
  25. MikeOH
    Thanks; I'll try running 7 quarts, as I normally keep it at 6. Also, pardon my ignorance but where is the inlet screen? I believe there's a screen near/part of the oil filter adaptor, but is that the one you're referring to?
