    First engine start went well. She fired right up. Ground runs Monday since weather deteriorated today. Hopefully test flight and delivery back to my home airport next week.

    Luckily that part isn’t finished yet. Seems like it soon will be routed tighter.

    Final checks completed before engine run tomorrow. Beautiful sight seeing that prop spinning.
  4. gevertex
    That too!

    Got an update today. Mechanic says they plan to complete the work this week! Pray that test runs go well.

    3 blades definitely looks cooler and I would have gone that direction, but I am happy with 2 blades since it was going to be more expensive and a lot longer wait. I'll take the useful load too. Can almost never have too much of that in GA.

    Propeller is on. I am told it's ready to be tested minus EI engine monitor which was sent out for repair and received back last Thursday. Really hoping to hear some good news soon.

    No idea in my case. My A&P seems like an honest guy and AFAIK we didn't buy the new prop from the same guy who said it needed two new blades. The airplane was a flight school airplane for a short time in the past, perhaps the prop had some other kind of damage. Who knows!

    Any PIREPs on the Electroair mag? I was looking at that one also for the future.

    I have the same sketchy feeling generally. It had 2 prior overhauls and is roughly 22 years old with ~2.5k hours Some people are trustworthy, some are not. It's hard to know the difference when I am getting 2nd hand info through my A&P. If the airplane was closer I'd probably be working on it myself with an A&P, vs letting someone else handle everything.

    I'll get to fly it for a bit, then it will be back in for a new panel. I hope yours is airworthy again soon.

    Good to hear. Less expensive and better performing works for me.

    It's the same model prop that was already on it (McCauley 2-Blade-B2D34C214-B). It was another 3+ months for any of the 3 blades / top prop and more AMUs. Original prop was sent out for overhaul and both blades were "out of spec". Already in for 50% more AMUs than I expected so took the baseline option. Good news is just about entire firewall forward will be either new or overhauled. Hopefully that means less future downtime.

    I started this project about 5 months ago and the engine is finally going back on. I am told my A&P has all of the parts to finish it up, hopefully it gets done quickly. Excited to fly her for the first time.

    I’ll take the LED lights. PM inbound
  16. gevertex
    Ha, true. Thanks for the reminder.
  17. gevertex
    Thanks. It’ll have to go to someone else then. Good luck!

    I'd check, but she is a 2 hour drive away currently.

    Wing mount

    If it’ll fit in a 92 MSE, I’ll take it!

    Great opportunity for a Garmin G5. Though a bit more expensive.
  22. gevertex
    Lynn sold AGL to John Car. I suggest looking on the AGL website for a new number and giving him a call. Mine is there getting a complete firewall forward. Overhauled or new everything. Hopefully it'll be done next week. Fingers crossed.
  23. gevertex
    No cheap ideas. Get the inertial reel retrofit.
  24. gevertex
    Any chance you have the model file to 3d print these? I need 4 for my Mooney and I do have a 3d printer
  25. gevertex
    I am doing one from a 90's J right now and it's running ~25AMU
