    Don't misunderstand. I don't mean the Battery Minder will contribute to the failure; merely that eventually, all batteries fail sometime.

    I agree and disagree at the same time. I believe the Battery Minders will prolong the life of a battery. But if left on all the time, the battery can ultimately fail and you won't know it until you are out of town (It happened to me). One answer is to leave it connected, but periodically, disconnect it for a week and see if it starts the engine well. The better answer is to capacity check it yearly.

    This thread is extremely interesting. Pointing out that aircraft owners should not be handing over their plane to the A&P/IA without knowing everything that is going on is good advice. But is also true that when we first become owners, we often don't have much of a choice. I was mostly just lucky buying through All American and having Don Maxwell do the PPI. I had no idea what I was doing. With time, we all get a lot of education, but it takes time and effort. I am actually surprised with how few owners get burned before they have time to learn.

    I designed a timer. Contact me for the schematic or to have one built.

    I thought we all did.

    They are only for looks.

    Actually he has a plywood circle and a router.

    My hangar elf made mine, but yes, if you have covers you could punch the holes. (Greenlee punches work best)

    They are "snap-in" metal hole plugs, available in the aviation department of Lowes, etc. You do have to use an "extender" on the valve stem, available at Pep Boys, etc.

    Take a look at my album to see my solution for hubcaps with pressure checking ability.

    Frankly, I like the straight slot ones best, as you can see at a glance that they are all locked in place if all the slots are aligned.

    It is my understanding that Aaron took a job somewhere and is no longer in business. Quite sad. I liked him and his work was high class.

    You should go out and buy a lottery ticket. For that mess and you not having any damage at all, you won't have to buy more than one.

    I thought I was the only one that had that and C E T O P F E D memorized.

    It is my understanding that the gas cap O-rings must be inspected yearly. Most A&Ps just replace them, as the cost to inspect makes the O-ring cost miniscule. However, the blue ones last FAR longer than one year.

    A one inch OD tube fits nicely into the nose gear tube.

    Clarence, If you weren't such a nice guy and so helpful to all of us, we wouldn't tolerate you.

    Yes, I'm here and well. And yes, I still make and sell my tugs. If anyone is interested, take a look at my gallery. Or PM me.

    Right again.

    Good guess!

    Very unlikely rough running would affect oil pressure very much.

    Parker Woodruff is in Dallas, but I bet he can get to GGG.

    I am actually a little amazed at the opinions concerning "in-ear" vs "over the ear" headsets. Some people swear by one and others by the other. I have tried the Halos, and just prefer my David Clarks with a couple of modifications. I acknowledge that Bose are superior, but for the $, I'm happy with what I have.

    Well guys, I have made my decision. I am going to self-insure with only liability coverage. As I told Parker, if I am willing to accept the risk of dying from flying, accepting the risk of the loss of an asset is a reasonable idea. (I know, I know, the percent risk is much higher of one, but the ultimate result of the other is much more serious.)

    Thanks Mike.
