  1. Don’t the little static discharge bracelets have something like a 10k ohm resistor to block current? It’s bonding not grounding
  2. I’m trying to comprehend how this is possible (no continuity). The exhaust is bolted to the engine. I’m gonna have to test mine and random ramp derelicts i really feel like this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about (it’s not grounding he wants, it’s bonding. And the exhaust should absolutely be bonded to the airframe, if the engine is. wheres @EricJ?
  3. I believe that’s normal behavior on a no start and a bendix. The faster speed of the ring gear when the engine starts kicks the gear off. I’m not 100% on that, but I’d look into it before you spend money. The no start is almost assuredly a p lead issue. I’d triple check your key wiring. First thing I would do… key off - stay away from the prop! If you wired it backwards, the mags might be hot! Check if your p leads have continuity to ground. If they don’t, they’re hot. If they do, go turn the key to “on” or “run” and check continuity again. If they’re still grounded, it’s a wiring issue. I’ve seen 3 guys at the field with ignition switches wired incorrectly.
  4. This is my sole complaint with the STC situation. The more money you are going to sending GAMIs way in the future, via increased fuel burn, the more you pay up front. The STC for my aircraft is $1200. So, I'll pay 4 times the return to GAMI over my lifetime than a guy flying a C model mooney the same number of hours, and I get to pay 4 times as much upfront. Nonsense.
  5. Why would the moss letter change an owner assist? An annual inspection is not maintenance. Go read part 43 appendix D and see if you can find any where maintenance occurs in an annual inspection. If you want to get pedantic, appendix D already prohibits owner assistance. The INSPECTOR has to wash the plane And remove all panels, etc. If you want to get REALLY pedantic, it’s not legal for a woman to be an IA. Each person performing an annual or 100-hour inspection shall, before that inspection, remove or open all necessary inspection plates, access doors, fairing, and cowling. He shall thoroughly clean the aircraft and aircraft engine
  6. I literally just texted 201MKturbo the identical sentiment
  7. Seems to me that wheel had been cracked/cracking for some time and should have been caught
  8. I think you’d have to move it around. The constellation seems to be mostly north north east. At least that’s where it always wants me to point it. So I think you’d want to put in the window that gives the clearest NNE view depending which way you’re flying
  9. I’m sure it would work. I know that face time works perfectly
  10. This one actually seems stronger. It applies the force to mounting points in a different way and being tucked up into the “pocket” where the window is. It’s less attractive as a grab point for passengers
  11. My passengers think the Starlink is the bees knees. My first hasty mount is pictured in the plane below. I made a second one that tucks it up better, but I haven’t taken it to the plane yet. I used thumb screws into floating clip nuts so nothing is permanent and it goes in and out without tools. I have been using a battery (usb-c pd pack) that delivers 100w at 20 volts. But then I discovered that you can run the dish off anything from 12-48 volts. There’s a cigarette lighter jack in the back so I think I’m just going to make an adapter cable to plug into that. 150mbps is pretty standard. A few weekends ago I flew with 5 people to San Diego (about 2 hrs in the air). All 6 of us were logged on. My kids were streaming YouTube, my wife was working, my sister in law even did a Facebook live video from the air. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between it and my home internet.
  12. I might have it somewhere. I’ll have to dig around the hangar. What issue are you having? It’s a pretty basic system
  13. I used this guy 6 years ago, don’t know if he’s still around. I felt like he did a very good job, there were no surprises. His communication was good, I got lots of pictures. Macy Maintenance Kevin Macy owner P.O. Box 250 Brownsville, CA 95919 530-774-5363
  14. One with two turbocharged engines called a Cessna T310R National Union Fire/AIG is the company.
