Document linked above says for two years (first time I read it, I thought it was one year). I guess two years might be the same as forever for some.

I didn't think about that. Above some altitude, you won't have to worry about the "no WiFi or cellular available" rule. I would still be interested in knowing the cost, I'm reluctant to sign up for things that start automatic billing after the introductory period.

You must have been in a pretty remote area -- these days, it's hard to find a place with no WiFi and no cellular. After the free year, what is the cost?

Yep. The MSDS someone posted lists the abrasive: Pumice. As you say, not good.

What airport do you work from? Can you share some pictures of your work -- both detailing work and interior work? Do you have a website? How would someone contact you? Can you give some ballpark prices for detailing and interior work?

Understand. I don't really know if POH 1233 is early or late. It was just another data point I had available.

POH 1233 says 15 degrees at 132, and full flaps at 115. Doesn't seem like 100 is "too high".

Most likely nothing. People like the sound of the phrase "turbo normalized", but it doesn't have any specific meaning -- it's like the phrase "pre-purchase inspection", which also has no specific meaning.

Why do we feel compelled to attack anyone who comes here to help? It took a while, but we finally got rid of Clarence. Got rid of Jonny. Got rid of some other vendors. If we all work together in a coordinated attack, we can probably destroy MooneySpace.

Things may have changed, but my recollection was that the issue was less "not work" vs more about the hoops you had to jump through to get it to work.

Absolutely right. Anything that's bolted on may need attention long before splitting the case becomes necessary. BTW, Mike Busch says he treats cylinders like accessories -- if one is beyond help from a ring flush or lapping a valve in place, then it comes off just like a mag or an alternator. and gets some attention.

There have been multi-platform development tools in the past, but my understanding was that just getting something to work on a few versions of Android could be a nightmare. We use "Android" in the same context as "iPadOS", but every company running Android on their devices "tweaks" the basic operating system to fit their platform. With Apple, you can develop a product like ForeFlight with only minor differences between iPhone and iPad, without all the differences in hardware AND software. I think that if you dominate a market sector like ForeFlight does, you can get away with setting platform requirements, own a large chunk of the market sector, and not be concerned with the leftovers.

I imagined positioning the dehumidifier near the big door, and the water would just run under the door,

That might be easier than tenting just the engine, or trying to isolate some part of the airframe. That said, it would require a bigger tarp than I have ever seen.

Professional pilots are in a bind because once you bust your medical, the usual way to get to Basic Med is to fight through SI, and then let the medical expire. Even Light Sport is a no-go until the SI is complete. As an amateur, I just let my valid medical expire, and switched to Basic Med.

Always a challenge -- especially up high.

Yep. Saw that coming.

Of course you are right. Those 58 or 59 numbers are way too small to be track. I'll go back to my previous explanation: "No idea".

I have given some thought to using a system similar to your idea for just the engine. By essentially "tenting" the engine area with a not-especially-tight seal around the cowl and where the tent meets the hangar floor, and then pumping enough dehumidified air into the tent to extract the moisture from every crevice of the engine. For the engine, this avoids reconditioning crystals, hooking things up to intake, exhaust, oil filler, etc. Similar to dehumidifying the hangar, but requires much less volume of dehumidified air. No reason it wouldn't work for other parts of the airplane. In fact, your idea might be easier to implement because the volumes you are proposing to dehumidify are already somewhat air tight. Maybe instead of blowing in one orifice (like the storm window) and drawing out air from another, you could just blow dehumidified air in, and let the moisture-laden air leak out of all the small exit points.

The reason all commercial products are built the way they are is "commercial" -- whatever maximizes profit. I really doubt that all the junk Americans buy and soon discard, was the best it could be.

I think it may be the track. Somewhere it says 59 inches, and mechanic measures 58 inches, leading him to believe that the gear needs "alignment".

Here is a pretty good article that suggests that both Continental and Lycoming engines suffer problems, but the problems are different. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2020/july/pilot/savvy-maintance-valves submitted by NotAnExpertAnything

And my raises don't seem to keep up. Or maybe my raises do keep up, but they used to put me further and further ahead -- days gone but not forgotten.

What was the SKU from aircraftdoorseals.com? Did you trim around the hold-open?

Yum!
