  1. I have the LHS v2 with the real gear check circuit. It’s awesome. For the price there are few things that give you this much per dollar.
  2. Why choose when they are that cheap - get both. When there's a streatch of good weather and you have time off, move it to the tie down. If its going to be a couple weeks or bad weather move it to the hangar.
  3. Skygeek shows them coming soon. There were no Concorde's to be had when I needed a battery so I put in a Gill 7243-16 in May. So far so good. Skygeek has the Gill ready to ship. You could put the Concorde you found and a Gill in and be ready to go.
  4. Concorde was not available when I needed one so I put in a Gill 7243-16 in May. So far so good. Call Desser and see when they are getting more. Their price was better than Spruce.
  5. AirStop was unobtainium when I did my tires. I went with the GoodYear. So far seems ok. Test will be when the temps start fluctuating in the fall / winter.
  6. Mine are routinely similar to yours in cruise. #5 is the hottest on the ground but once you get going it itsn't. Baffles have all been replaced. No holes to speak of. #1 is the coolest ~305 in cruise. # 2 is the hottest ~345 in cruise. I have assumed this is because #1 is getting all the air pushed down over the fins from the back baffle and #2 probably has less because its exiting through the oil cooler. #3 and 5 ~315. #2/4 ~330 I keep it under 400 in the climb. Add fuel or increase airspeed.
  7. Was at the airport today. Here’s a photo. It’s just a fitting for ram air now. It’s the blue fitting.
  8. The servo p/ns are 065-00179-0100 065-00180-1400 065-00178-2500
  9. I have built in o2. I don’t like it and have hardly used it. East of the Mississippi, 11k is usually enough to get out of the bumps and pick up the tailwind.
  10. Once out of the mountains, 11k. Its plenty happy and fast there and no O2 needed (unless you want to of course).
  11. if its darting around, check for a stuck caliper, see if the brake fluid has turned to gel, and check the nose gear to make sure its tight. When I got my plane it did this and was a combination of all three. Rebuilt nose gear truss from LASAR and fixing the stuck caliper went a long way.
  12. Get the latest landing height system. It doesn't yell at you to put the gear down unless you don't so you don't get habituated to it. In fact the opposite. If I don't get my height callouts and I do get a warning call out, its a double difference that something is wrong.
  13. They called it a baffle kit. Take a look at page 7. Basically instead of where it hooked up to vacuum exhaust, now it hooks up to pressurized ram air. http://www.airwolf.com/aw/application/files/9616/1849/7660/AFC-W360_Rev_D_Dated_5-12-2020_Signed.pdf
  14. I removed my vaccuum and still have the airwolf. It was a kit - might have been like a little air scoop it hooked up to instead of the vaccuum line. The shop that did the install of the G5s/GFC500 that included removing the vacuum systems took care of it. I've noticed no changes in operations.
  15. That's a knife disconnect. Be sure to get the aerospace grade one and you do a good job covering it up for no shorts. I have not noticed any of those on my plane.
