  1. unfortunately, people are very proud of their sl30's, unless you get lucky used isn't much cheaper than a new gnc255
  2. check your brittain for leaks, Had the same symptoms due to a leaky servo.
  3. I know 2 owners that've pulled the fine wires, no idea why but they are dead set against them. I figure i'll try 4 eventually but not getting my hopes up.
  4. try searching the web for a urethane solvent
  5. way i understand it, you still carry the privs of a PPL, piece of plastic doesn't matter.
  6. I think you may need a radio capable of 8.33khz spacing
  7. I feel bad, read as cheap, my seats are new but as they kept being stepped on by passengers I covered them with a set of Autozone specials. tied them behind and under the seat as they are slightly too big. I'd bet there's something that might actually fit.
  8. Mind taking a pic? I want to put mine in the tail where the current brittain magnetic sensor is mounted.
  9. I always wondered why not run the exhaust pipes along the leading edges and against the fuel tanks. figured you'd have an enormous amount of heat available
  10. I actually like the site, find it way more convenient then my tablets when doing initial planning, esp fuel prices. use leidos or Garmin Pilot for the actual flightplan/weather brief. you can manually edit the route to remove the extra points .
  11. call http://www.wetwingologistseast.com/Contact.php, they can get you info. they work directly with jose as in give each other rides back and forth to the airport(what i was told)
  12. seriously, it all comes down to MONEY. 100% sure an engine can and has been adapted but at the end of the day, it has to be profitable and affordable. Best bet would be to sweet talk Diamond into sharing those nice Austero Diesels, i'd def put one in the mooney if it was about the same cost as the lyco
  13. I have them, sitting on a table probably never to be installed 8). Purchased fully intending to install but figured it was sooo much easier checking tire pressure without
  14. shrug, it's to the point where around houston, I cannot depend on anything vor related being operational. flew kdwh-knew yesterday 2 of the 3 vor's on my route were out. last month, randomly decided to shoot an approach into klbx oops ils was out, and of course atc didn't mention it. same, day shot the ils into kgls, vor for missed approach was out. yes, there are notams but in an emergency you'd be screwed
  15. 1. Get rid of the ki-214, they are nigh impossible to fix and any used ones are likely to be bad. If you must, there is one guy in Lafayette Indiana who can service them, somewhat. If the installer can get you the Val and make it legal, i'd consider it. VHF Nav is on life support at this point, I'd say do NOT depend on it in an emergency or atleast be very cautious. you know that makes me think, can they PLEASE do something better than NOTAMS, i mean yes if i'm planning a flight i can read thru the 1000 items to find notam'd navaids, but, what happens in an emergency? do i stop the plane while i read up on the latest notam'd vortac, ils, dme ?
  16. uh huh, it's coming we promise, pinky swear
  17. omg, that's just insane. My surefly was installed during annual, so some of the interior was out anyway but if i remember correctly i think it may have been 5 or 6 hours ?
  18. If you're not constantly filling 4 seats, get an E. Not sure about the older E's but in my 74, once i'm in with the seat pulled up, there's plenty of room in the back. I'm about 6'0. they sit like a sports car, matter of fact it's exactly like my camaro, no room at all until the seats move forward.
  19. SMH -- see, see this is how it goes, give a guy an Instrument Rating and he goes out and gets an ovation 8). Congratz btw
  20. GA is far too expensive, yes there will always be the few who have enough dough to do whatever they want but for the rest, they have better things to do with money. esp when new sexy cost close to a million dollars, just sayin. we should fight tooth an nail to reduce cost. tell garmin 10k is far to much for a damn gps, 20k is too much for an autopilot.
  21. I'm in, sign me up
  22. kinda hard to imagine not having room in the C. In my E, at 6'0 with 32in inseam, with the seat all the way back I'm FAR from reaching rudders and i'm stretching for the yoke. that being said, i'm thinking bout taking the right seat out so i can have peace when the wife comes along. shhh don't tell her i said that
