Its definitely not the same LASAR. I miss Dan....He knew his stuff.

let me know, I wouldn't think it would be an issue of that handle bbar folding down. But I'd love to get a verification.

Is it easy getting it in and out of the baggage compartment?

The flap actuator is aft of the spar and the hydraulic pump is just forward of the spar on the copilot's side.

I had a similar event on my elevator, I just waited for a used one to become a available. Then when I got the airplane painted, I swapped it out.

Skip, just be careful making an investment in those switches. Remember an AC is not regulatory, its just guidance. If you go further down into the Advisory circular it defines what a standard part is. Standard Part. Is a part manufactured in complete compliance with an established U.S. Government or industry-accepted specification, which includes design, manufacturing, and uniform identification requirements. The specification must include all information necessary to produce and conform to the part. The specification must be published so that any party may manufacture the part. Examples include, but are not limited to, National Aerospace Standard (NAS), Air Force/Navy (AN) Aeronautical Standard, Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), Aerospace Standard (AS), Military Standard (MS), etc. Just be sure that these switches can meet that guidance.

I would love to see the G-1 and what Gami showed compliance to.

It does, you have to keep scrolling to the bottom. 40.6lbs

I didn't read any emotion in Mike;s statement at all. I thought more that he has 40 years of engineering experience discovering other people's undocumented features late in the design cycle.

Exactly right!

that explains why I have a jelly goo in my lawn's carburetor bowl in the spring.

would love to hear your pirep.

Does anyone remember back in the 90's when Mobil marketed their fully synthetic oil? It was so much better than all the existing mineral and ashless dispersant oils on the market at that time. There was no data for the undocumented feature that emerged of the sledge that developed in those engines. At least Mobil made good for those owner/operators and paid for a number of engine overhauls. Does GAMI give a warranty like that Mobil did for all those owner/ operators who buy their STC? Getting a blessing from the FAA is useless. The current FAA doesn't even know how airplanes work anymore. Any experts that once worked there, have long since retired. Today the FAA are just populated regulators. I think I'm just going to sit on the side lines and let the GAMI proponents become test pilots and generate the data that's lacking. I will encourage my home airport not to buy this voodoo juice until we know its safe.

I found this today.... https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/lycoming-clarifies-g100ul-warranty-impact/

So I have been reading this thread and I am so suspect. This guy is so proud of his data and continually refers to his data which cases me to ask myself, what is he not telling me? a lot of his focus is on predetonation but there are other things to consider. Questions I cant find the answers too maybe someone could answer: Has continental and lycoming endorsed this as an approved fuel? Has any engine manufacturer endorsed this as an approved fuel? Why does he need an STC? that means something is different? If I lived in California, and put this stuff in my airplane, its not airworthy until I purchase an STC from him? Really? He claims to have more energy density, so I assume that all the performance charts should be better than what's published, If he is so big on data, I'd like to see that testing published. Has there been any independent testing? What happens to an engine over time, with a fuel that has no lead and more energy density? Is the latent heat of vaporization the same as 100LL?

exactly right!

sometimes, when the moon hasn't rising yet and its very quiet at the airport, a hanger fairy might visit......

The external jumers cables are not part of your aircraft. They are ground support equipment.

Kevin, thank you for offering to help. That's very nice that you are willing to share your expertise. What ever happen to the company? The last time I talked to Cici (years ago), she told me a buyer bought the company and was going to set up somewhere in the carolina's. I guess that never happened.....

That is hilarious!

I know this is an old thread. One of my cylinders is weeping and I'm going to have to give it some attention. I found this video. Thought I should share......

and putting something on top of the wing that act like a vortex generator might just change the way she flies and stalls

I had mine airplane painted at hawk three years ago. Joey did an amazing job. Lots of attention to little details. I can not recommend him enough.

cheap way to conduct market research to entice investors

Matthew, thank you for making the business case to Mr. Pollack. Without your leadership, this would never have gotten this far.
