    2024. Yes, I keep it on a maintainer.

    If you want to go to Top Gun, call them and ask how far ahead you should get on their schedule. I tend to do that a couple months ahead with my mechanic. Some book up faster. Some don't want to book until closer.

    I gave one a try when Concorde's were short of stock. It failed capacity check at its first annual. Gill was good about replacing it under warranty with the fail print out. I won't buy another.

    I have used both custom ducts and geebee. Nothing wrong with custom ducts - the product is exactly as they say. But I think Geebee's are a bit better quality and I prefer them (also I like the black look). Also ship fast.

    I'm struggling to visualize what we are looking at but that doesn't look normal to me. Why is colors and textured like that? Are those repairs or paint or something? My oviation is a 2000. Last year we noted exhaust leaking from the slip joints No cracks. No pitting. Certainly no worn through holes like that. Just generally worn and not sealing tightly anymore. Replaced the whole thing with an overhaul from AWI.

    I'll have to check my paperwork but I'm 95% sure that's what CAV told me to do. Leave it alone and replace it on condition when you get a high pressure alarm. Otherwise, the filter is working fine and its better not to touch it.

    You could call the manufacturer of the charger you want to use, but anything labeled 24V should be fine. A "12V" system charges at 14ish volts and a 24V system charges at 28ish volts. Things labeled for use on 12/24V systems would typically be able accept more than the expected charging values. A 12/24V rating in marketing materials is not necessarily a tech spec for maximum input voltage.

    I was also missing some. Bought a couple NOS switches from eBay and took them from there. Easy peasy.

    I don't have a YD but I had all mine replaced. Did not see a bill for any of it. Garmin dealer (not the original installer but now my local guy) handled it all.

    I'd get it done as soon as your preferred shop has a slot and access to the parts. Mine was backed up so I was on the waiting list. Then the roll servo failed on take off as I was departing on a 1000 nm trip that ended up in lots of IFR and a hand flown missed. It couldn't have been a CAVU day on a lunch trip - things seem to fail at the most inopportune time.

    I'll be there. I still have a Gill 7243-16 looking for a new home if any attendee needs one. It was a warranty replacement and I had already put something else in when the replacement got here. NIB.

    Before you jump to a starter adapter - how old is your battery? Mine did this and I started worrying about a starter adapter problem. I changed the battery instead. Problem disappeared. My assumption is that if the battery can't put out enough cranking power, it might do this.

    Did you get the garmin style switch to fit the yoke? I bought one but the shop had trouble getting it to fit so stuck with the old BK switch. In my case it was a KFC-225 but I'm pretty sure its the same switch.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Was at the airport today. Here’s a photo. It’s just a fitting for ram air now. It’s the blue fitting.
