The table on Page 1 says that per OSHA (which doesn't really apply here), 35 ppm is permitted, 100 ppm is acceptable for "several hours," and 200 ppm is "unacceptable." But it all depends on where under your cowl it's coming from . . . Check anytime your normal reading changes, so that you don't burn through a fuel or oil line--in which case you won't be worrying about CO!

I'll be watching the Blues tomorrow. Saw them flying around the last couple of days, practicing--that's how I found out they were coming.

@carusoam can rescue you!

Crossing the Big Muddy into Loosiana, headed for Houston over the weekend. Beautiful day to be flying! Anything happening out this way anytime soon?

Yes, they fit under the panel in my factory non-shotgun panel 1970 C. If your left plastic overlay is in good shape, I'm interested in it when you make the new panel!

That's what I use, shoved into an engraver to vibrate. But as long as I lean aggressively on the ground, hangar to runup and landing rollout to hangar, I don't have any buildup to clean.

Reminds me if the guy who saw the war coming in the late 30s, and moved to avoid it. He studied and chose the least likely place for war between Britain and Germany to reach, and in 1938 or '39 happily moved to the remote island of Guadalcanal.

The last time Theresa's an aircraft accident near where I live, my phone lit up with "are you alright???" texts.

In 17 years of ownership, I've never used my parking brake. The only time I've had brake trouble was after a new IA (who I haven't even seen since, nor want to) decided to "fix" my unused parking brake; the first I heard of it was when he presented the bill for his services. Couple months later, left brake started to fade . . .

Several years ago, I redid both seats in my roadster, both door handle / armrests and the center console cover in new leather for a little over 2 AMU. Then came Covid and Bidenflation . . . .

Gleason Gear in Rochester, NY, is a giant in the gear world. I toured their facility looking for someone to make gear molds (I needed injection molds for 40 new gears). Their forte is making metal gears, and my project was too large for an initial foray into molding. But look into them, they may well make gears for you, worm and all.

Oil and tools live in the plane, along with spare headsets. Swiss Army knife goes everywhere with me except the shower and airlines; a multitool is in the tool kit, another knife in the pocket on front of the seat. Handheld radio with headset plug is in arm's reach, flashlights too. This all lives in the plane, so it goes on every flight. Long flights are more about my comfort, and will vary with length and load. My upcoming flight is basically along the gulf coast, so I'm not into much survival gear, just the rest of my morning coffee, some water and snacks to stay alert when I hit Bravo airspace at the end. Just not enough liquids to worry about needing a travel john . . . I'd much rather just stop somewhere pleasant and new.

I've heard of a good place somewhere in Valley, AL, just a few minutes from Kia (from a Korean coworker at a now-closed plant). Just drove past there this evening. Do you remember the name(s) off any good spots? My wife spent some time in Seoul as a child and likes the food, but being a Marine brat, I've only been exposed to Japanese food (and they don't really get along well, the peoples or the foods). I do like the many little bowls of goodness that come with the main meal, even when I'm not sure what I'm ordering . . . .

I've tested my C at 4:45 twice, both times landing with 1:15-1:20 fuel remaining. But my biggest need was to stand up, stretch and walk around.

I always have a bottle of water. Saturday's 4-hour flight will also have coffee and a snack to prep my mind for busy airspace. I'll land around lunch, then eat.

Looks like fun, but my yokes are a good 18" too close together, to say nothing of the panel needing a lot more height . . . .

Any landing you can walk away from . . . .

Looks like next year . . . .

Get a Sensorcon. Then you'll know! https://sensorcon-sensing-products-by-molex.myshopify.com/collections/carbon-monoxide-meters?srsltid=AfmBOoqMEIgnwco1gX22n91VWCOVxxoZqHyHJECrdDLT2i1aklkGFuuQ I have the less expensive model, works great. The Mooney is good, truck heater is good, no leaks around the oven or gas log fireplace.

In my last house, the water heater sat on the garage floor. In my current home, it's on the floor in the finished part of my basement. But the little fridge in my hangar is on a table . . . purely by coincidence rather than planning.

Kind of difficult to use . . . Symbols are too large and seriously overlapped!

Keeps it from rubbing on the cowl cheek, saving the sheet metal and the tubing.

The MAPALog had flight reports on several models, but no idea where any of their information is anymore. Nit even sure if MAPA still exists. Trey and Lila kept it running for a long time, but it was never the same after they moved.

Remove your old visor, trace it onto new plexiglass sheet, saw it out and sand the edges smooth. It will now look much better withiut the crazing; use smoked plexi and apply decal if desired.

Just type a new copy from your Owners Manual / POH, print it whatever size is convenient and put it in your knee board. I did all of the Performance Tables for my C and stuck it into my checklists printed in Word using "pamphlet layout", printed double-sided on my single-sided printer, cold laminated the whole thing and it lives on my knee board, available at a glance. I hate having to scroll around through a tablet in flight looking for things like this. Instead I just flip a few pages. Blank paper lives there, too, for writing frequency changes, clearances, flight times, etc. It's too difficult using a touch screen when it's bouncy, and can require eyes off the panel for too long when IMC.
