have you tried to shed some load to see if the voltage goes up? or you can add some load like USB charger etc and see if the load goes down.

that plane has an electric prop if I am not mistaken and it's hard to find. I owned a j35 for a few years before getting my mooney. Don't get an old 35 for the same reasons some people are saying don't get an older mooney. that is not a cub you will be stock with a plane and no parts. part of the reason I sold my 1958

I think 100K for everything is a bit tight. you will probably have to sacrifice, engine or avionics. it seems you have already discovered it yourself. I would personally be happy with a lesser autopilot/avionics and focus more on a solid engine. you can fly with lesser avionics but you can't fly with a bad motor

My voltage regulator died a couple of weeks ago, it has been acting out for months with a fluctuating voltage at start and then it settled. We already did the alternator and coupler a couple of years ago so we knew where to go. I replaced it with a Zeftronics, first test flight seemed to be looking good, with 14v solid and 13.7 at idle. Pretty happy so far. Gabe

I just got the data from the county. KWVI sells, on average, 11,600 gallons of 100LL per month

Swift discusses the UND issue

how many planes as UL94 totaled?

I appreciate that. I don't mind knowing there are issues with certain engines, I do mind when GAMI comes out saying it is drop in and then 25+ planes got bricked and one was totaled $600K 421C. They now have changed their narrative: as there is no perfect fuel, they have added a disclaimer on wet tanks when you buy the STC and changed the FAQ. in November when I (and many others) got the STC it was drop in, don't need to change a thing. and that's a fact.

I use united at KWVI. Ask for Terry

unfortunately you do not know what needs to be done to your plane to be fully compatible with G100UL. Braly won'd disclose the log books from his Cirrus. Every plane that uses G100UL is a guinea plug. It's not just lines and paint.

it's progress from a company that actual makes fuel for living. I think we have supplies of paint stripper for the next decade. Hopefully GAMI cuts a deal with Home Depot so it's more readily accessible.

yeah. I will put the ask in now.

this is august by event again KWVI only

this is KWVI. I should clarify
