  1. For those who are looking for the v-band clamp for the tsio-360 or tsio-520 part number 653337. Ram has a few in stock now. Ordered 1 today, catalog shows $330, new price $475.
  2. there are plenty of towered airports in the bay area; oakland, stockton, napa, hayward, san carlos, palo alto. Some open later than others. This time of year oakland would be your best bet and quick 25 minute flight from Sacramento area. I live in vacaville and my plane is based in rio vista. Would be happy to fly along if your looking for a safety pilot.
  3. Your fuel setup was done incorrectly after replacing the fuel pump. You are not getting enough fuel at high power. The fuel setup calls for 700rpm with an unmetered fuel low pressure of 6.25-6.75 but should be set closer to 6.25.(low pressure screw on fuel pump). It’s a little easier to set the high flow using the fuel flow gauge in the plane if it reads gph. The book calls for the high flow adjustment to be 28-32psi at full power or 21.3-23gph reach full power. Most would recommend to run this engine with higher fuel flows than book. I run mine at 26.5-27gph. I used a pressure gauge to adjust the lower pressure circuit and used the JPI to adjust the high pressure circuit.
  4. It took my friend about 6 hours to 3d print LarryB design for both housings. As mentioned earlier he was also concerned about heat and warpage. Thank you larry once again for the design and looks like it comes right out of the factory.
  5. @Irmin sorry for the delayed response my plane was in for an avionics upgrade. Here is a picture. A friend 3D printed the housing in carbon fiber impregnated plastic, iirc it’s rated to 189 deg. The cad file was from some one here on Mooneyspace everything fit perfectly. The components and concept were on another thread under ovation recogn.
  6. I used Larryb, cad file and installed new Whelen leds after 3d printing the assembly.
  7. I'm based out of rio vista and have an A&P but work as a nurse. What minor issues do you need addressed? Some can be addressed as an owner.
  8. Don Kaye, I believe uses JR Electronics out of livermore. I was in need of a ki256 attitude that sometimes acts up. I was looking to purchase a rebuild or purchase a GI-275/adhrs+ap. I called on monday and left a message, have not heard from them. Called pacific coast earliest install late february. Called executive autopilots in sacramento, luckily they had a Gi-275 on the shelf. Plane will be in the shop next week or so and a 12 minute flight from my home base. They had half dozen or more large jobs going on and still take small jobs in. My next call would have been to baker avionics in oregon. So the answer depends on the size of the job and availability of equipment.
  9. I agree, looks like a pressure bulk head.
  10. During my initial flight training I puked while doing steep turns over ewa beach in hawaii. Still have the shirt tail, used it on my first solo out of ford island in pearl harbor.
  11. It was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you for taking time out of your day and meeting my family.
  12. Thank you Ken, If I need anything I'll contact you. I have family who live off of verche way and we'll be staying at the el conquistador. If we get an early enough start we should be landing around 2-3pm.
  13. I ordered mine from mcfarlan, their bundle pricing was the cheapest.
