I have a 2 blade prop, original oil cooler, original windshield and the lasar cowl closure, your numbers seem to match my birdy. yes your E should run LOP nicely. Probably won't even need to talk to gami yes, you'll have to climb at something like 120mph to keep things cool when it's super hot maybe 110/115 . did you use the ram air?, that'll give you about another inch mp at altitude. she looks really nice, congrats. tip, when in cruise at altitude, slide the seat back, things get really comfy

Hope you get it working, I love the pc system in my E. will be missed when i upgrade the AP.

as an owner i didn't understand this. why would i ever pay you for equip and installation and then let you fly my plane for hundreds of hours, so you can make more money. I bet if anything breaks, I as the owner have to pay for it. while i'd like the option of the Trio, that just doesn't make sense

Because I can? As far as i can tell, birdy has absolutely complete records from her birth, I intend to keep it that way. It's how she was maintained before me and it's how the next owner will get her.

I keep everything, even the gas and oil receipts.

Just fly right as it turns night for the next couple weeks, too hot to fly during the day anyway

there's a chance you had to many devices connected to something, ipad/g3x etc... turn off your phone and extra ipads see what happens. I get this sometimes when i fly, my gdl39, audio panel or headsets wont' connect to certain things because i have my 2 ipads, 2phones and watch all competing for connection

is that stall speed with full flaps or clean?

If true, i'll def be going dual, Thing has been one of my best upgrades. will probably add the electroaire switch this time

when i first got my surefly, there was a blurb about possibly having a second using a dedicated tcw battery. Doesn't lycoming also have a sim stc?

I keep a can or two of boost int he plane for those times i need a pick me up and i dont' feel like messing with the cannula https://www.boostoxygen.com/product/large-10l-12-pack/

nm funny, planning for the long range tanks but currently the E only holds 52 gallons. when flying distance( travelling ) i'm usually flying between 8 and 11k feet and well under 10gph, usually peak or just LOP. my most common trip usually sees me stopping in millington which is almost exactly 450 nm. least gas required was 26 gallons most was 39(dodging thunderstorms and headwinds) average is right around 32 gallons with a slight headwind, leaving 2 more hours of flight time in the tanks. now when i really want to get frugal, i run her LOP up high and around 8ish gallons per hour, slow but man you can cover some distance

450 miles is my normal ifr leg length, 484 miles i wouldn't worry about a ferry tank unless fuel isn't avail at your dest

I usually have 3, my garmin watch, samsung phone and a finger tip pulse ox. I pull them out anytime i fly over 6000ish feet, really helps avoiding those nagging "headaches"

I believe they had dme/dme or Loran lined up but guessing that's not going to happen.

Much more likely I'm just being honest, VORs are down a helluva lot more than GPS. Currently 3 of 4 in my area are Notam'd out, one being a MON vor. think i've had gps blip once or twice in 6 years

even my old units kx170b, gns480 have read zero diff for all of the last 5 years. no worth an FAA rule though, not even 30 seconds to compare them. To be honest, as much as VORs are out these days kinda like who cares. wish the FAA had just said we're taking out all VORs instead of this MON stuff

if it's the one from spruce, it's WAY outside my budget.

I"m going with a gi-275 when the budget allows. super nice.

I asked an AP about swapping all the screws for stainless 2 days ago, he said he'd recommend against it due to galvanic action. any truth to this ?

yeah, they mostly just swap the bottles. only real issue is the filler valve they have to remove from mine and put on another

so the last time i filled my bottle, it was a saturday the counter was closed and i walked around back to the filling area. the medical, welding and my bottle were all filled from the same source. I actually saw them stop the medical fill to fill welding bottles.

Now that i think of it, it's usually absolutely dead calm before the hurricane hits. there's plenty of time to get your girl out. Oh yeah don't forget the wife and kids.

I second, you want NOTHING to do with evac traffic, good chance you'll just get to ride out the hurricane in your car. weather before and after the storm is usually extremely nice. atleast in the 4 or 5 hurricanes i've experienced. my plan this year is to fly from Houston to Southern ok or visit family in Indiana. when everyone evacs, hotels get really hard to find.

that would def work
