    When I bought mine, there were all kinds of warnings about not subjecting the O2D2 to line pressure. Apparently it’s an expensive mistake.

    I’m not looking at their document with the prohibition, but I wonder if dual batteries are more of a problem than singles.
  3. Fly Boomer
    Sounds promising but I hate to see weasel words like “becomes widely available”.
  4. Fly Boomer
    That would have been handy.

    If you are getting more than 7 years on a battery, keep doing what you’ve been doing.

    What little experience I have suggests that, if they were attached with tank sealant, they don’t come off suddenly. Preflight check is probably adequate.

    It’s a conundrum. Concorde also says long term use of the BatteryMINDer is not recommended. If mine sits for a long period, I try to arrange to plug in my GPU for 24 hours once per month. I use a voltage that more or less matches Concorde’s recommendation based on ambient temperature in the hangar.

    So you affix one half of the Velcro tape to your wing, and the other half to the underside of your fuel cap covers? How do you get that stuff off later? I thought the adhesive they use was supposed to be semi-permanent.

    Use caution with Battery Tender. Concorde has issued a Service Alert (attached). BatteryMINDer makes devices specifically for Gill or Concorde. batterytenderwarning.pdf

    I bought the O2D2 and the in-line regulator they sell, so I may need a different adapter. I’ll call them.

    What happened to Mastenbroek Aeroskill? I never see them mentioned.
  12. Fly Boomer
    Not sure who you are directing this to. If it’s me, I bought an O2D2 and regulator, but have not tried them yet.

    that’s a good idea. The back on the chair I have won’t allow me to get close enough (partly because of my 3-blade prop). I’ll try taking the back off, and then figure out what comes next. Thanks.

    Start by calling a few MSCs.

    Probably doesn’t look the same as it did in 1970. Retiring from IBM is very good. Do they still have SEs and FEs? Or has everyone finally moved to the services side?

    Manufacturer issues SB, FAA issues Airworthiness Directive. Sometimes FAA creates AD because of SB.

    Might not be so bad. Probably they are well practiced at dismissing charges when someone says “I didn’t do it”.

    Must have been written by a 20-something.
  19. Fly Boomer
    Thanks for the tip — I just ordered a copy.
  20. Fly Boomer
    What is an M20-3?
  21. Fly Boomer
    Looks like a handy place. Clean looking modification.
  22. Fly Boomer
    I have an old office chair. What modifications did you make?
  23. Fly Boomer
    Fuel starvation?
  24. Fly Boomer
    Still don’t see his comment. Not critical. I try to read everything.

    I thought “aircraft quality” meant ten times as expensive.
