That’s weird for sure. Mines always the lowest by a relatively substantial amount. The diff between highest and lowest on mine can be 47f, with #6 the lowest at 316.

I can't speak for all the other EIS's, but the 275 is far better than expected. Here's a link to a Savvy Analysis page, you can see so many options on here.. https://apps.savvyaviation.com/flights/shared/flight/9865701/86bf233b-c077-4aa0-b60a-fe02c114542d

You could just email some companies that do overhauls for that and see what the overhaul consists of, and the price/timeline. I used Watson Aero and they had the most parts replaced/overhauled. He had a quote ready for the engine, since they do TSIO360's all the time. I'm sure it'd be the same for the 520, he'd have a quote ready with what's done. Not all overhauls are equal, they'll range +-$5,000 or so.

I just got an email for 4 of these ready to ship to me but I never ordered them. They were for E/F and I have a K. I told Heather to see who actually ordered them but it sounds like she's just going to re-sell them. Chandler MSC probably put them under my tail number to stock them or something.

For future reference, this would probably be better in the new M20K section. Also, I'd find a new A&P that doesn't encourage ignoring exhaust leaks.

Is this with the intercooler?

Did you try the Vercel link? It looks like the main URL is busted for some reason but the Vercel one works. I’ll have to dig in to it tomorrow

AI can be. But it can also be a pAIn. I'm 100% for a mandatory $5 yearly fee or something. No bot would give us money at all, and if you own a plane you're fine giving $5 to a forum, I'd suspect. Now leave me alone while I go learn how to cancel my Delta flights.

Branching off of another topic; Backlash against Vector Airport Systems. It looks like the domain isn't wanting to work, so I edited the post with the vercel domain for now. It's usually just airport-fees.com I made a little side project to keep track of airport fees (based on fee type and aircraft/flight category) in a community driven manner, since you can't just hit up a database to find all the different fees for all the different airports: https://v0-airport-fee-website.vercel.app/ There's some nuances here, like some airports charge by weight ($50 for planes over 5,000LB) , some by weight increments ($10 for every 1,000LB), some by height (f*** you Vegas), some by type (private, charter, etc), on and on. So I don't really know how to classify these in the app -- I'm not looking to have extensive listings of what the fees are, just a general concept of if they will apply to you when you land there. If anyone has ideas on that, I'll take it. For now I put in a few types but they're not great. The front-end is written with Vercel, which means it's mostly AI generated code. I'm a software engineer but I despise UI design so I offloaded it to our robot overlords. It does tend to randomly block traffic from what I can tell so at some point, I may have to change where it's hosted. If an airport you know to have fees is not on there, click "Submit Fee" at the top right corner to add it. It will then go in to an approval queue that I look at to approve it (where I look to see if the de-duplication logic works, or if it's spam). How to use: Go to https://v0-airport-fee-website.vercel.app/ Put in a filter (You need US, but you can filter for fee types or aircraft types as well) and click Search. Click "Download for EFB" and select Foreflight (sorry, Garmin will come soon). Then send it to your phone, put it in ForeFlight, and you get the fees and descriptions that you filtered for. You can go to www.airport-fees.com to test it out. I don't intend on making money on the site, but it does cost money to host it so if anyone uses it enough, feel free to throw in $10 or so for the hosting cost. It's far from perfect right now but I'll iterate if it gets use. I don't intend on making money on this but if you want to help with the infrastructure fees, feel free to click "Buy me a coffee" in the corner. If you do or don't think this is useful, I'd love to hear about it or ways to iterate on it.

That looks like an 8000B?

I got the x5. And yeah I can definitely get you some details on the gopros and you can pick some stuff. Might not be now (not home) but in a few days.

I have the same camera! I also had it mounted, no idea how it did. But I can turn it on, fly an hour, go and eat, sight-see, fly back home for an hour, and then realize it's even there and it's still recording. Makes me want to turn it on in case something happens to the plane if people move it when I'm at an FBO.

Thanks! I have an Insta360 video camera attached to a FlightFlix mount. I don't have a picture of it at the moment, sorry. It mounts to inspection panel screws and you can get it signed off by a mechanic since it's not 'temporary' (screws). Mine spans two different inspection panels. https://flightflix.aero/collections/360-camera-mounts/products/maui-flight-surface-pole-mount Some notes: The cameras battery, at a moderate 360 setting, is still only like 1 hour. I have a second battery but don't feel like crawling out to the wing to change it mid-flight at 16500ft, so I just create clips The connection to the camera is wifi so it's not terrible, better than bluetooth. The camera, by default, will turn off after 3 minutes of no video. That sucked, I changed it after missing some glacier overflights. Fligitflix has a fan-powered charger you can clamp to the mount. They haven't released it just yet, I don't think. It'd be another $400 or something... but better than a bunch of backup batteries that take forever to charge. The editing process: Connect to insta360 with the insta360 app and make a lot of tiny clips based on the videos you took. The app editing process is ok, but it crashed a few times on me and annoyed me. Export them to your phone/wherever you want. Use LumaFusion (paid app) on iPad to edit videos together. You can use any video editor you want but I like LF, and I think they do really great work for editing videos on the go. You can also post directly to Youtube from LumaFusion which is cool. I also have a ton of gopros because I thought videoing our trips would be amazing. Editing is terrible and I hate it, for any camera. So I have tons of gopros if anyone wants them for pretty cheap, and more batteries than you'll ever use. They work great but the insta360 is more of a "one and done" video. I have a gopro hero max (360) which is cool but this just had a better form-factor.

The park was gorgeous. I put on a 360 mount to do some recording, and it turned out great. We only flew in it for an hour. We went up Ruths Glacier, flew around a little in that area, and then spiraled up to pass Denali, then down another glacier (not pictured). Most of the other passes were fogged in, so we kept it pretty conservative. The other pilots flying were super chill and gave us tips. I kind of wish I had recorded that. Overall, I wish we did it longer, and I wish we could do it again. The weather is shot for the next few days, and then we need to head back to MN. I forgot the cowl flaps on some of this. I climbed from 6,500 to 16,500 and forgot to close them when we reached the top. Oh well.

How's the weather been at night? I can't sleep when it's hot and all my intel says it's still grueling at night. One person even has an icy breeze in their tent to take the edge off.
