    I bought a j35 few years back, didn't fly much with previous owner (lost medical .. the usual deal), always hangared. compression were low flew it as much as I could, next annual compressions were much better.

    mmm that is an interesting idea, I am going to try to 3D some attach the magnet and maybe put some teflon tape on the edge to create a seal. the blue tape is a pain in the butt

    I have been dealing with this for a long time, posted in some other thread. I always put 8 inch blue tape on my fuel caps and the vent ports.

    I have never in 10 years of flying and 2 aircrafts one was a 1958 J35 had worried about 100LL staining or chewing through parts. When I got my J35 it had a huge blue stain cos the bladder was leaking, we replaced the bladder and wiped off the stain. 1-2 weeks with G100 and both thanks are leaking and the paint is stripped to the metal....and I am not the only one.

    I always join the 45, we had a very big and deadly accident in KWVI a 150 vs a twin Cessna, the twin came in straight in on final and hit the 150.

    savvy offers help with pre-buy. more money short term but perhaps less money long term.

    is it true? like the gauge will go below 18 and stay there?

    what's the delta in fuel you see? meaning how many gallons are you putting vs how many gallons can the tank take? I never had a problem with air, I did have problems with the fuel caps. If fuel is coming out, also water could get in Do you have aux tanks? Do you see the delta in fuel in the Aux?

    hey I actually did not. I cleaned the yoke columns and the problem went away. In regard to Executive, unfortunately I had to cancel twice because of IFR weather, while IFR rated and proficient I wasn't going to get myself in it with a questionable autopilot behavior. On my 3rd reschedule they stopped responding. I don't fault them but that was my experience. I am sure they are fine.

    if you watch this video, around minute 19:00 you will see someone spraying the wing of the plane with a substance and wiping it (bottom right), this video is 9 months old, GAMI knew the fuel would stain the paint independently of the vintage. they just tone it down to "creates the potential for staining" as supposed to "will stain"

    yeah man. 100%. I passed the two videos to the thread I have with the FAA/FSDO. I wasn't kind, how are we just now finding out the fuel is more aggressive by Braly's own admission and the industry was in the known that this fuel wasn't "drop in". https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/braly-makes-his-case-that-while-not-perfect-g100ul-is-likely-the-best-unleaded-option/

    between minute 5 and 10

    The percentage of planes reporting issues it's not small. if you watch Mike's videos and count how many planes he is reporting is quite material. Second, the number of planes using the fuel is single digit at best. Both airports are selling 100 gallons fuel per week. Third, the only known pilot who is at arm length from GAMI and burned a material amount of fuel has stopped using the fuel and I believe his report it's quite informative. So yeah move on is easy to say, until it happens to your plane. Tho we all know it won't because you won't put G100UL in it.

    oof didn't address the stains, the paint peeling and the latest write up from Paul.....19 minutes of nothing
  23. gabez
    it's a good point, I didn't do a ton of research but that BO has tips also, so maybe he gets a better range?

    I only had 1 experience with Maxwell. they did a job on my plane when I first bought it, few months later the part failed and they gave me my money back. I thought that was pretty awesome.
