    Weigh it completely empty. Weigh it with unusable fuel. I lost 74 lbs due to a major avionics upgrade. However the CG shifted so far forward that I had to out 50lbs of sand in the luggage compartment for W&B. If only I had the $$s for th me four blade prop, I could fix that issue. $20K vs $5 in sand. Smoother landing with that earth in the back.

    Inflation is one thing but dang.

    I put gaffers tape on the seams to keep the oil out otherwise it finds its way into the pan. Prolly also worth two knots.

    You are not the gatekeeper or the moral police, call the FCC. You have no suggestions just complaints. Don't tell me or anybody else to SHUT UP.

    No the LGB thing is political speech, I inferred that it only came up because it is political speech. Telling MSers to SHUT UP because somebody is irked by political speech on guard is not the appropriate forum, maybe contact the FCC. I suppose I could go to APF or PPW and tell everybody over there to shut up if I didn't like what I heard on the radio. I only found one reference to meow's on guard in my exhaustive search.

    Weird I monitor guard and I haven't heard anything. I am going to do a search on MS and see if people were complaining about "meow" or anything else on guard or is it just because it is political speech (albeit inappropriate on guard) - which we gentleman aviators try to avoid on MS. Let's Go Google...

    Seems impolite to tell people to shut up. Especially when you don’t know that anybody on this forum is responsible. Sort of

    Just got mine from @OSUAV8TER can’t wait to plug it in. I have an Aerotherm, which is thermostat controlled but I like the idea of having a small cabin heater turned on 3-4 hours before I fly to prevent cracking.

    When I bought my Bravo there were no bulbs in the overhead. I think probably for that reason. There were some light scorch marks around some of them indicating that they probably been left on for a long time.

    No of course not. I just made that part up out of thin air in order to sell more parachutes. :)

    Maybe give an individual parachute to a person on an airline that allows somebody with 250 hours into the right seat of a 737.

    I'd be willing to catch COVID for a donut but alas...

    I sold my R182 rather than changing the battery.

    A. You break it you buy it. B. Don't do it. C. Hold my beer. D. All of the above.

    A more important question is why would you keep a Century II and will it work with the panel you are trying to build? The AMUs are the limit.

    I take my Mooney to the mechanic I have known for 7 years who worked on my last plane. I did all of the service items myself even replaced my own tires. It was the first annual since I purchased the Bravo. When I had a pop-up issue right before a flight, he came over on a golf cart, to my hangar and resolved it. I asked for a bill, they said bring donuts. I have heard mixed reviews from MSCs, my dealings - mainly parts and advice - have been great but I go with who I trust and who is local because they are just frigging awesome.

    Figuring out where they go, especially if you don’t have original baffling, is part of the fun. You don’t even have to pay extra for for the smiles it brings when you figure it out. I found a couple pictures on MS and they fit.

    I am ready to live in Kerrville, now if you guys would start sending your checks for the seed capital, PM me for the Cayman bank account number. You are in good hands.

    Thank you sir. I looked up the procedure in the maint. manual after I made that comment. Then I went to sleep and flew down to Riverside California today. I love the Bravo. The YD didn't disconnect at all. Just needs to be a checklist item when transition from climb to cruise flight.
  23. PilotX
    I wish the YD didn't come on automatically when I put on the AP. I think I need to look in the maintenance manual and find out what the correct "center" for the rudder trim is on the indicator and tail position. I would assume that the tail is centered in cruise flight but I have been known to be wrong (about a lot of things depending on who you ask).
  24. PilotX
    Just checking. Hoping for the best.

    Any more flights?
