  1. Because the error is in the position in relationship to the ground. If you had two tractors, they could plow in formation using GPS, but both with not be precise to the actual ground.
  2. Yes, more to intake, but less intakes per time. Less intakes means less bangs. And aircraft systems, longer intake cycle means longer fuel delivery, but it is truly linear and matched?
  3. I just had a 200-C installed. AMAZING device.
  4. Hmm, one of those might work to get my Dad in my Mooney. But I afraid that he won't be able to get back out.
  5. And even then, dropping a dumb item is almost more art. But it is GREAT fun. Even better if they go BOOM.
  6. Then write a schedule that handles those two and many other in between circumstances, and gets the job done properly
  7. Who did the PPi?
  8. You didn’t take into account the drag of the pumpkin. From the time you release it, it is decelerating.
  9. No, my question was because he showed a picture of an oil filter with the threads down and said he pre-filled it. On my airplane each, fill it with oil, screw in on
  10. Thanks. I just returned the sensor. I will revisit this later and see if it will work.
  11. How do you pre-fill it?
  12. Very pretty. But I could also see that being annoying. Maybe a couple of strips of tape.
  13. That is a pretty simple solution.
  14. I have used Screw Grab (a similar product) for many years. Great stuff. Also get it from Amazon. The same company makes a fantastic soldering paste also.
  15. I hope so. Prefilling one with the threaded end down could be a bit messy.
  16. You bought the airplane from the shop, but they will not work on it to make it ferriable? REALLY?? What shop is this? I want to make sure I avoid them.

  18. I was just talking to an avionics shop about this and they said the GI275 WILL drive a KAP150. You do have to watch the Garmin "compatibility" charts. Garmin says that a G3X is compatible with the KAP150, except they don't tell you it will only supply heading/course info. You still need to keep the King Attitude Indicator or install a GI275. A G5 will not work.
  19. Since all the components are normally made in refineries, it is just mixing things that are already available. So I suspect that economies of scale will be less pronounced. They can use the existing 100LL tanker trucks, or ANY tanker truck. The reason that 100LL needs special trucks is due to the lead contamination. It would take flushing and cleaning to use them for an unleaded fuel. ANY refinery can make G100UL. No separate processing or holding due to contamination with the lead. So some refineries that are not making 100LL can make G100UL. The margin on avgas is higher than auto gas. So a refinery can make and offer at a nice price to break into a market they are not currently into.
  20. MAD in the Navy means both the boom and the actual detector. My Dad flew ASW for about 14 years. From the TBM to AF to S-2.
  21. MAD detects the change in the magnetic field due to a mass of iron. The magnetic flux lines change. Like putting something iron/steel near your compass.
  22. Same here. I am working on being the first Mooney to run it with the STC.
  23. Open door to air out after you are done.
  24. Yeap. If the instructors don't know or remember, the student never learns.
