Great looking panel! What did aerocomfort do to spruce up your glare shield? lee

Thanks Skip. I had already disconnected the speaker and the annunciator panel and that didn’t change anything, so it must be the breaker or something in the wiring in the belly. It will be awhile before I can dig in though. Lee

I'm having trouble with my gear warning circuit in my 1992 MSE. The Gear warning breaker is tripping. It has a tripped a few times in the past couple of months. In the past, the CB trip only occurred when the gear was lowered. Now the CB does not hold at all. I suspect it is a bad breaker. Any other thoughts before I dig into the bowels of the breaker panel? Note this is just the gear warning circuit; the gear is operating fine. The Gear Warning CB only impacts the floor light, annunciator light, and audible alert. Lee

I’ve done this several times. Usually short stops. I shut down, disembark passenger, remove the chock. Also, one time I took off with a tie-down rope still attached. The rope was in such a bad condition I didn’t even notice it until I landed a couple hours later. lee

Y’all are all going the cheap route! Install a g3x; it has a clock built in. Lee

For me it’s 2000’ because that’s the altitude where radio reception is sufficient to pick up the clearance. With Less than 2,000’, I have to do the phone call routine. Lee

I don’t think their plan is going to play out well. Lee

I’ve had good luck using fiberglass cloth and PVC pipe cement. It melts the fiberglass cloth into the abs plastic. I do this on the backside of the trim to add strength. I then use some pvc putty to fill the larger cracks on the front side. Sand and then paint and it looks like new. Lee

I like the Trig radio. I have one in my Citabria along with a Garmin GTN 650. The Trig audio is better than the Garmin radio. The trig is remote mounted and tied into the PS engineering intercom/com. Lee

I had the pitch servo fail two weeks after installing the GTC-500. That was three years ago. I had another pitch servo fail last week and they did a warranty replacement on the second one too. Lee

I had the same thing happen to me recently. The pin slipped out of three of 2700’s. I never had that happen before. Lee

Concerning checklist, I used the ‘ACE Editor’ app on my iPad and found it to be relatively easy to use. Lee

Did you notice the rust around the fuel tank filler neck? I suspect the airplane has significant corrosion. Lee

Me too. I always spray the screws with LPS before reinstalling. Rarely have any problems. Lee

I have my Mooney, Citabria, and my son’s ski boat in my 50x50 hangar. The taildragger is a little difficult since the tail cannot be moved over something lower such as a wing or boat trailer. Works fine though. Lee
