I agree if you want to be proficient you practice, in Canada you must have 5 takeoffs and landing every 6 months to stay current to take passengers. And if you fly at night you have to do the same at night to stay current to take passengers. In our area we consider a good flying day anything with 30 knots of wind or less, there’s always a crosswind and or a good gust component. Proficiency in landing/ crosswind procedures are the most important part of flying here! If you wait for calm days or winds directly down the runway you don’t fly here. ( CYYT) Just my 2 cents

Need the forums input and wisdom! Looking at a 201 J No annual for 15 years but flown, the last 3 or 4 years it wasn’t flown. Judging by the Hobbs maybe 100 or so hours over the years and NOTHING in the logs. Feedback!!!!

The wheel well covers part numbers They do work with the Johnson bar landing gear, I assume?

I don’t see the upper and lower panel listed on their site? Do anyone have the part numbers

It doesn’t look like they struck the prop, should be a relatively easy fix???

Sand bags cheap easy and clean strap them on with a couple of ratchet straps. You can get the woven plastic bags of sand at Home Depot or Lowes

Aerotec Engines in Nova Scotia, Canada They handle all of our rebuilds / overhauls, great shop and easy to deal with. Last time I was at there facility they had a number of engines going through for U.S. customers. The owner mentioned with the exchange rate on the dollar they had more American customers than local.

Should be no problem to fit a two piece toilet in a short body, I can check the door measurements tonight when I get to the hangar. That’s a two piece toilet with separate bowl and tank

Couple of parts I pulled a mold from and made new parts but you can see on the broken parts where I used foil tape, tongue depressors, hot glue , body filler but it gives and idea of what can be accomplished.

Simple process to repair plastic interior panels with epoxy resin and fibreglass cloth. I’ll post a couple pictures of a recent repair I just did on one of our aircraft. The before door image shows a piece missing and if you look closely you will see the plastic panel is actually cracked in a couple of places and the only thing holding the panel together is the door frame. The other interior trim piece was broken into three parts and the centre had a missing section that was long gone. I use EPOXY resin and fibreglass cloth usually 7781 from spruce but you can go to your local fibreglass shop a purchase a light weight glass cloth. Usually I hot glue the pieces back together and sometimes if the parts are really damaged I glue them to a board or the bench top with hot glue to hold them in place. Hot Glue the parts on the exterior side (the exposed side you see in the aircraft). For the missing areas use what ever you require to make the shape of the missing area. I use foil tape as my first alternative because you can rub a little mould release wax on the tape and the epoxy won’t stick to it. I’ve used cardboard, tape, plastic from containers, aluminum foil, believe it or not one of my best products for complicated shapes is PlayDo. What ever it takes to hold the shape required. Also I use epoxy resin over other resins because it adheres to the plastic better than vinyls or polyester. When the part cures you can touch up the front side with a little body filler or epoxy resin and q-cell mixture. Than off to the local auto store to pick up a spray can of whatever paint that matches the finish required.

That’s the screen I used in the 63C

Thank you 65 Mooney Pilot Looks like it’s just a simple repin to interchange a 76 /76A

I have a KT76A that’s questionable and was thinking of going with a AT165 that’s available but it’s labeled as a KT76 upgrade, not a A

Thank you, I’ve read that thread but it doesn’t tell me what I need.
