    Replaced the battery in mine and now I can't get it to turn off. I guess I will either buy a new one or send it in to be calibrated, needs it anyway.

    When I shutdown for fuel like that I set the throttle 1200 to 1300 rpm then shut down. Hopefully with the nose facing into the wind. Also as I'm in the pattern I open the cowl flaps too get little extra cooling before shutdown. After fueling or other activities and ready for the hot start I don't touch anything turn on the boost pump and turn the key to start. Usually works good for me.

    People need to lean to keep their mouth shut.

    Not sure if anyone from FL wants to move their plane as far west as New Orleans but we can provide space at LS40 just south of New Orleans International, KMSY. It's a grass strip and you would tied down outside but well away from the effects of Helene. I affectionately call it the trailer park of airports but it's home and doesn't cost much to be there. PM me if you are interested. I can rearrange some things and get one plane under a hangar roof.

    Mine is in the garage with corrosion X on it. Well I probably need to reapply.

    I have a crank from an IO360A1A left over from my overhaul. The cylinders and mags were exchanged. Crank is red tagged due to corrosion on the prop flange not usable in certified but maybe someone else might want one.

    I would suspect that they are different. Either would probably be hard to find. Call an MSC to check for availability and order the correct one.

    how about these people you can get a custom webbing size to your specification. Little expensive but if secured to the cargo area properly would provide good containment. I'd stay away from anything metal that may dislodge. https://www.usnetting.com/cargo-netting/cargo-nets/1-inch-webbing-cargo-nets/loops/

    You say the door is not moving then say movement is slow going up????? pop the gear box cover off and see what is and isn't moving. Then as above make sure everything, gear box, wheels, strap roller bearings (pillar blocks probably about 10 of them the length of the door) are well lubricated.

    When I was flying to KORL on Dec 26 I was delayed and was told by ATC to slow down because there were 5 jets ahead off me and I was #6 to land. First time that ever happened but KORL is always busy and we were all flying the approach. Yes the biz jets are delaying air traffic.

    What about a field overhaul other shops?

    I agree the process is flawed. Where are the STCs for 100LL?? Somewhere in time 100lLL began production and that is what we are using today. We had other fuels that were out there with more lead and more octane.

    There should be no STC needed. The FAA needs to blanket approve an appropriate replacement. As far as GAMI goes I'd take $0.02 to $0.05 licensing fee per gallon for research and profit.

    I'd go with thicker all the way around. I was helping on a Cherokee 6 the other day and placed my hand on the side window and it flexed pretty good. My F with the thicker windows, thanks to the previous owner, are solid.

    It is a shame that the FAA does not let us do this especially with a rare aircraft like this one or aircraft that are 30 or 40+ years old.

    how much material did you use? How many square feet of area? What was the cost?

    I was reading this article in AOPA magazine August 2023 issue. While they didn't give any examples outside the list, it appears that according to the FAA themselves you can do more than what is listed in the 31 specific items listed as PM. According to the article the list is not all inclusive.

    Buy the gallon and keep it at the hangar use it year after year and for spot applications. Also good for using on other things around the hangar.

    Idaho Falls (KIDA) is a great place to stop. Plenty of things to do in the immediate area.

    Maybe, but I've heard Buc-ee 1 on the radio more than once. That's a big 10-4 good buddy, the hammer is down, 10 big ones on the altitude and head northwest Buc-ee 1

    I have been threatening to make a single piece like this for years.

    I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. Yes, fly your plane, drive your boat, drive your classic car. One flight a month for 15 to 30 minutes is all you really need to keep everything working. Fly once a week, make it like your kid's soccer game don't miss it. Get a friend that is a pilot to fly your plane too or fly a friend's plane so it doesn't sit. The more you fly it costs less $ per hour to fly. Having someone else fly your baby is concerning but you do get used to it. I have a friend that flies mine and after many years I still find myself watching him on flight aware.

    I guess you are going all glass? 1. I would keep the original windshield go one piece if you have the two piece. The rear panel access is wonderful. 2. My F has the conversion with removable pieces in the corners so I have access to the hydraulics. I'm not sure what 201 windshield conversion that is. 3. I would make it 2 pieces if you need to access something you can disassemble one side not the whole thing. 4. Shock mounts ???
