Am thinking about swapping a Slick magneto for a SureFly next annual (May). Any drawback of doing this? Seems like a cheap (relative) upgrade.

Went through somewhat similar issues with KX-165. 1. The kx-155.com guy is not an FAA repair station: https://www.kx-155.com/?page_id=91 -- keep this in mind. 2. As far as my research went, the available display kits at $750 for 165/155 are not FAA approved and the radio would be "illegal" with this upgrade. I also think that PPLs aren't authorized to do radio equipment repairs on certificated/certified aircraft 3. Sent my KX-165 to Bevan/@Jake@BevanAviation and it came back in working order and an 8130. Didn't replace the display, but about 200 capacitors were replaced 4. The price tag is non-trivial, but still lower than other options (new radio + installation). Includes warranty, and bezel cleanup/facelift

1997 J The turn coordinator (looks like this one: https://www.mcico.com/1394t100-7b) developed fog and the airplane is stuck at level flight. Sometimes it gets unstuck, but mostly stuck. The bubble coordinator strangely works. 1. What are my options to fix it? 2. What is the make and model? TIA

Judging by the M20R'06 (from the tail #) they are newer ones.

Yeah, I'll second this. Mooney (any) aren't stuff haulers. There is a flying club at LZU: https://www.aeroventures.org/, I think I saw a post on FB about them adding a Cherokee 6 to their fleet at LZU -- I'd look into this option as well. PS: I know it's a Mooney board and people have been known to fly C model Mooneys comfortably with 6 suitcases and 5 passengers. (:

It's in the track mode -- TRK.

I fill up both tanks after each flight. What I noticed is lowered level of fuel in the right tanks when I come back after a a couple of weeks. I quickly checked under the wings for blue streaks and didn't see any. Any words of wisdom? 1997 MSE. Started recently, didn't have the issue before about a month or so ago.

Thank you -- I think my late J has same panel dimensions. Is it possible to center the 10" screen? Looking into my options and I don't like the non-centered screen.

Silly question: I understand the large rectangle is for a 10" G500Txi display. Is it an issue it's not centered on the yoke?

I can turn this around and, let's say "S-class is a nice car, but for the price I can get XXX civics from the 80s..." you get my point. UL is an issue with many (if not all) GA airplanes. "With crumped back seats C is really mainly a 2-person plane". But I am really disappointed with Deltahawk's "real world" fuel flow numbers...

What's max continuous power for a C? How many doors does a C have? What's typical C avionics?

Shh, please, don't tell anyone about the tecnams!

Could someone elaborate, please?

Another (minor) advantage of the wing covers is protection of the fuel caps/tanks from rain water.
