About how much length for a com 2 antenna do you estimate? 20ft?

I have an E model and my number 2 radio 430w) has had poor reception from the time I got it. Going into annual in a month I want to just swap the cable and antenna while we are there. Probably a Comant 196 antenna? My number 1 GPS gets a Loss of Integrity pretty easily so I bought a new GA 35 antenna and was wondering about the cable for that as well. Looking for what types of cable/s I would need and what what to get and if the 196 new or used is the standard? Is there a difference in in the new vs used old ones ?

E model w/McCauley 3 blade, Power Flow, 201 windshield, Cowl closure mod, One piece belly, Flap and Aileron seals, Oil cooler relocation. 23.5-24" 2400rpm was light 2300lbs. Book says ~175mph(152kts) TAS, I see 158-163 KTS as my G5s are in KTS.

I have a 1969 E. It has 201 Windshield, Lasar cowl closure, flap and aileron gap seals as well as the the tail seals power flow. The downside is I have the 3 blade McCauley. My plane does exactly the book numbers to about 10k and is about 2kts better above 10. I plan 150kts and it's usually about 151-154. I'm waiting for Hartzell to come out with the composite two blade and we'll see from there.

Find out for us. There are about 5 of those for 150-300 bucks on my market place

Exactly what I'm looking for. I'll do that tomorrow with my laser therm if I have time.

So with my 'E' I flew it in the coldest weather I have so far as it's my first winter in Minnesota with this plane. The air from the heater was not hot. I want to see what my expectations should be because I never had complaints about our 231. This is the coldest plane I've flown in MN. Just to rule out operator error. There are the two push pull control for 'heat ' and 'ventilated air', the lower pedestal vent control lever, and the two footwell butterfly valves. With the ventilated air closed and heat on full the air coming out the center vent was warm not hot. It was -11c out and my engine seems to run cool 24/24, 267-312 deg chts I have the power flow exhaust. The back seat would have been unbearable. So what are the obvious things to check? Tubing? Air getting passed the ventilated air valve? Other places in the plane that leak air also (overhead vent, baggage door etc?) What is normal heat from an E or F?

That's Goose. He's my back seater. Show name "Airelines Talk to me Goose". He's only 9 months.

Mine keeps them on.

Taking Jumpseat privileges away would be stupid and knee jerk. He could have just done this at the controls too so what's the difference. In the rush to hire everyone with a body temperature over 90 maybe the needs to be a little more vetting.

I think his bird is down for the count for now. He has a spinner bulkhead give way last week. I'm over at 21D Lake Elmo and we don't have landing fees either.

That might make me do that then. I might do my panel in phases because it's already ok. I usually just leave the 430w in traffic in the terminal area and the 650 on map. I can live for a while. I'm sure they don't support the GDL 88 just to get you to fork over and buy a 345.

I get the wx being adsb might not work. Why wouldn't the traffic with the GDL 88 not work? It's displayed on the 650 and the 430w.

I have a GTN650 & 430W. 650 is hooked to my G5HSI, 430 hooked to a GI106A. If I was to replace the GI106 with a 275mfd can I hook both 650/430 into the 275 so I can get weather maps etc from the 650 on it too?

What about a Comanche 260(b)? Has the Jumpseat area 4+2 seating and can carry a lot relatively efficiently vs a lance and should be better on the budget than a Saratoga vs a Lance. Just a thought.
