That was why the smiley faces. I agree that heating gyros when very cold is a good idea.

HOW is it supposed to be in the field and available? And USED by pilots. Please explain how that can occur. I would be more than happy to test G100UL. And it is not a beta, test, that level has been done.

FYI, just because the battery is still good, does not mean that the sensor is still working properly.

Unlike Boeing, they were physically present at GAMI observing the tests. GAMI did things like soak paint, bladder material, and sealants in the fuel. Physical tests. Chemical lab tests were by outside labs. I have known George a long time, from AVSIG days. First and foremost, George is a GA pilot and owner. And has been for many years. I cannot see him doing anything to harm GA and people's airplanes. But also, you cannot test EVERY possible situation. If someone used some shade tree mechanic sealant to patch some tanks, that is not aircraft approved, NO ONE has any way of knowing and testing such instances.

VP sells a hose that screws into the cap for pouring. The vent is positioned such that it doesn't spit any fuel when you tip the jug to pour, but I tend to open the vent after fuel it flowing for extra care. They also sell one with a valve, but in fueling a plane, I have not had any issues. I can get the hose in the filler while tipping the jug. But this is with the jug resting on a rag on the wing.

Uuh, GAMI has been doing that with many things. GAMI is not a chemical testing laboratory. And those things they tested (bladder degradation) were witnessed by 3rd party (FAA) observers.

I have that connector in both my Mooney and my CAP-10. My IAs are perfectly happy with them. But then again, they were installed by my IAs.

And who is going to contract and pay for this testing?

He was talking about the wind grabbing one of the large CABIN doors and slamming it foward.

Except that does not always work. BetaMax was a much better technology than VHS, but VHS won the market. Unleaded auto gas is better in many ways for cars, but it took the government to mandate conditions that make it required. FYI, Amoco sold unleaded auto fuel for many years before it was required. One of the issues is whether the benefits are obvious enough. With 100UL, most pilots will simply look at the price per gallon and not use it. Ignoring that it can double oil changer intervals (Lycoming already has an SB to do this), increase plug life, provide higher supercharge rating octane (only a factor for warbirds), etc. Also, unless there is some mandates, very few fields can or will support two fuels.

Gyro, what's a gyro??? If you have gyros in the panel, a cabin heater is a good idea. I have a oil sump pad heater on my M20K. Also a Mac's insulated cowl cover (I typically just throw it over, not fully strapped up). And I am in an uninsulated hangar. I have put a wire thermometer in the oil door and see temps under the cowl of around 80F, even with the temps in the teens.

But they could be using different equipment that gives the same number for the same sample, but a different number than a different machine. Oil analysis relies on trends, not raw numbers mainly

Hmm, basic 6-pack and "no working instruments" with an electrical failure??? And flaps on a Grumman do very little, other than lower the nose a bit. 53 versus 56 knots stall speed.

Obviously YMMV with YOUR other half.

But the dry suit system requires it to be glued to the body. Which requires the appropriate area to be clean shaven. I mentioned that ONCE.

Thanks. I will give them a try.

Common advice is to have the prop IRAN'd NOT Overhauled. With an overhaul, they are required to reprofile the blades by grinding, which can make them no meet spec, leading to new blades or a new prop.

I am still trying to figure out how a NA Mooney is a lot faster for the same fuel flow than a NA Cardinal. But a TN Cardinal is as fast as a Turbo Mooney at the same fuel flow.

OK. I thought it was a Bat 1 and a Bat 2 switch. I would put Master, Bat1/2, Alt, and Avionics Master in a row, in that order.

Modern model airplane and drone radio control uses frequency hopping, spread spectrum on 2.4 GHz.

Their plan for over 70 was Liability only. Which you can do now.

Why is it that ONLY 10mm short sockets go missing??????????

Another vote for the square fuel jugs. I have the VP Racing Fuel ones. Sold by a company that makes and sells gasoline. I have both clear and red ones. They also come in other colors if you have more than one type of fuel or oil around.

Link? I ordered a couple of various ones for my friend to try, when I can get it it, I will post link to the one she preferred.

These work great. Designed for vomiting, so less chance of missing (you put it against the face) and seal with a twist and a tab. https://www.amazon.com/ATDAWN-Emesis-Disposable-Aircraft-Sickness/dp/B07LCKZN3P/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=1PO51WO3MFM2M&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mMYI_5xaQjRws8xsnkLEnG7EHxSLUye-QJA4ueVDwp004Li57RRjaszvilh3w62oXNCanxXW0rgY_1ae2N9ZljywZRQDeiXbV7ZX3STOn9Q6eHyYVr07LzYmavblNS8Aq1HkzRD7PT5TdsHyf5k2K57FQbtUU6SBXd-eJ7hM4lbDcAuRgCS_qdqY6j9Ju9kX6EHGGdaZFqcX-96WQuPtYwPEgqRGU3S1Bt_fMDEdnDQjogw1Lnj9r4CwffLEX2ejsfwF9KdkLhNwYsEqzg35AlMq4d8Cnbd3u8WINvvvjww.aQ0fKmX3AnWjL7q_3m238lBL-TjkCNC-LFcpfz1WWJc&dib_tag=se&keywords=emesis%2Bbag&qid=1734375337&sprefix=emsis%2B%2Caps%2C493&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
