  1. I guess that's we get from a company that doesn't even make a good burger anymore, much less an autopilot? Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk
  2. Your temps are pretty similar to mine. In hot weather I have to keep my cowl flaps open just a little with similar fuel flow at 8 or 9 thousand. And I have new baffle material. Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk
  3. I think it's excessive and doesn't seem to add much in the way of security anyway, but just my opinion. Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk
  4. Blue shop towels are also made of paper, are they less abrasive?
  5. And what do you guys use for a rag? Cotton? Paper towels? Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk
  6. Should have mentioned that there doesn't seem to be any leaks. Oil consumption is in the realm of a quart every 5 hours.
  7. I've noticed that once the engine is running at climb power (and less so in cruise) there is a smell of hot engine/oil in the cabin. Not strong, but definitely noticeable. Opening the cabin vent seems to help slightly. No sign of CO. Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk
  8. Actually doesn't have to be a GA 35 but at least compatible with Garmin GPS 175 Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk
  9. I'm looking for a GA 35 waas gps antenna for anyone who might have an extra, used or otherwise. Thanks!
  10. I've got a mechanical tach removed from a 79 M20J that I'd sell if you're interested.

  12. Part 147 school is the fastest way. There are schools that do it in under 2 years, but very few. The disadvantage to the school is that you probably don't get as good hands on experience. The advantage is that that you learn some good theory and foundational instruction that you won't get hands on. The electrical theory portion is particularly valuable I think.
  13. Why the sudden uptick in near misses at major commercial airports? It's seems just a matter of time before there's a major catastrophe. Has there been a lot of turnover in ATC workers? Did the lull in travel during COVID lead to some bad habits? Am I the only one who doesn't trust the FAA to figure it our before something serious happens? Am I asking too many questions? https://simpleflying.com/burbank-airport-mesa-skywest-near-miss/
  14. I wouldn't worry about those tires. I've had much older on my 172. It's usually the tube that goes and the tire itself seldom plays a part in that. It's not usually recommended to put old tubes in a new tire but a new tube in a used tire is frequently done. Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk
  15. Let's go a little deeper into the water. Here is a picture of the panel. I would actually almost rather put the GNC 355 mentioned above. But does anyone know of a GOOD nav/com that would replace the one I have below the KNS 80? That would give me a basic nav, 2 coms (GNC 355 as No.1) and a GPS. I'd be completely satisfied with that.
