  1. It's way cheaper to fly myself and the wife to dallas than the Vonlane bus. Woot, finally got a win. 17g @ $5.50 < 135$ one way bus ticket
  2. anyone know where i can get a new instrument panel cover made? I initially intended to plastic weld the broken piece, but the piece that broke off is now missing.
  3. it was a new boot, not from EBAY man wish I hadn't lost the contact
  4. this was caused by a leak in one of my servos, bike patch and some electrical tape took care of it for a bit. then had to beg and plead to find a replacement. really wish i could remember who sent me the servo boot, i could really use more
  5. No, it's due exceptionally bad service at one of their dealerships. we took the car back to that dealership 4 or 5 times because the dealership didn't put the bolts back in the car. I mean all the bolts under the car, trim and bumper. it fell apart drivign down the highway, to which the dealership tried to say WE must've ran into something. I took the car to the corner mechanic who took pictures of all the bolts missing and the dealership still didnt' put the car back together hell even called stellantis, who said they'd do something and guess what nothing. so i ended up paying the roadside mechanic thousands to fix my car and say the hell with chrysler
  6. felt the need to make clear, this is not an endorsement of jeep products, just my experience with a turbodiesel engine. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT
  7. SAME, I even have personal experience. I've owned 2 2014 Jeep GrandCherokees, 1 V8 and 1 EcoDiesel. the wife absolutely hated the V8 due to crappy gas mileage, i believe she was getting something like 18mpg. swapped it for the EcoDiesel which is averaging about 26mpg and 30+ hwy, no more complaints. i was so impressed our next car was a turbodiesel, no bs, she stops for gas maybe once per month. My next car will be a gmc 1500 turbo diesel or electric something or other
  8. After paint, fuel tanks and a new deltahawk engine, i don't want to hear anyone complain about me selling my E for 300k
  9. Home Depot paint stir/measuring sticks, Dipped the tanks prior to refueling and after a few weeks i had all marks neccessary. used a blue/black jel pen, once the ink is dry/absorbed into the stick, gasoline will not take it off never bothered to empty a tank
  10. Get the 235hp variant and move the battery far back in the tail, add a second if necc
  11. I'm planning the same, partly due to having a surefly, mostly because it looks cooler
  12. Gear ups really aren't that big of an issue, usually ends up with an inspected/new engine, new prop and some replaced sheet metal. as for prebuys, they are really just a crap shoot, I just said the heck with it and had birdy annualed.
  13. yes, Kevin Westbrook, I just realized last flight how much I like my brittain, it just isn't horrible. if i had altitude hold, i probably wouldn't be waiting on trutrak
  14. you know, this is a thing. never understood why people try to scare people away from mooneys. they are not harder to land than say a piper or diamond and let's be honest if you aren't flying an ovation at close to the fl only 20 to 30ish kts faster. as i try to fly lop, i only get about 10 to 15kts faster yes you do need to remember to put the gear down.
