What happens more than likely wind gets underneath of one wing or the other or weather vanes and then snaps the tiedowns or the straps and then it flips the airplane over or sends it across the ramp. Otherwise why tie airplanes down at all, if they only become effective when the airplane lifts off of the ground.

We installed one of those micro light LHS systems, but the install data for this thing is severely lacking. And when I called them about it, they said well since it was Narcy and it was supplemental that they don’t have to document it as well. I should’ve just returned the system. It took us 15 hours to integrate it into the audio panel and the GPS And actually were violating the audio panels install manual because we are connecting this unit to the audio panel, but it’s grounded internally so it introduces electrical noise into the audio system. That said, after we configured it works pretty well except for counts up when you overflare and balloons, slightly, and it’s rather annoying.

You can buy these little cable lubricator things that screw over the end of the cable where the core goes into the jacket. Then you stick a can of triflow on there and you pressurize the cable with that.

You might as well leave it untied. This tie straps things have a breaking strength often less than 300 pounds which that plane will make 300 pounds of lift in a 35 knot gust.

We found it interesting to do the air venture cup race, They require insurance with adequate limits and also they have to be named specifically with the waiver of subrogation which cost us an extra $260 this year. But to fly into Oshkosh or fly while giving rides there you’re not required to have insurance at all. I think the OP here probably has a valid lawsuit against EAA for failing to do their due regard to protect and visitors.

We bought a Delta Zulu headset for the Oshkosh show special and it also pops and turns off during the takeoff roll and it also does it sometimes during taxi with the window or the door open. It also has a lot more system electrical noise, it’s barely audible in the Zulu headset but it’s quite clear and present in the Delta Zulu. They made the cord completely non-functional because it used to be able to hang it from a circuit breaker on the panel or something and now it just kind of sits on the floor and gets ran over, anyway the performance if it’s good when it works, but I called today to ask them about the firmware update and they say it cures it but you know I’m surprised they shipped this product like this because they didn’t do enough real world testing. And if they had flown, any kind of Mooney or taxi in the airplane with the door open, they realize that the external microphone gets so blown up by wind buffeting that it overwhelms the circuitry and turns off the ANR.but we shouldn’t be finding this out about a $1200 headset after They ship a few thousand of them. Plus the connector requires the headset to be taken home to be charged up. We can’t Just take the battery pack home and charge that. And then, besides that it’s some kind of nonstandard connector that nobody’s ever ever heard of.

its really bad right now. Nobody has them and new is probably a year and 12 grand

A client of mine ordered a new door seal. Wouldn’t you know, a perfect ba1706m wirh the foam insert. currently I have the latest version of Ginbey’s door seal, it’s really good too.

This thread is useful to re-up. Thanks for posting it Craig!

its probably the trandsucer, and there is no dangerously high oil pressure. Its like dangerously high bank account, or fuel level.

For some reason, you can’t post photos here anymore, For some reason, you can’t post photos here anymore, but the LP but the owner of the Aircraft said he put his stratus battery in the backseat and it caught on fire and burst the entire airplane into flames, but like I said we can’t post photos anymore. I’m not sure why because this site is kind of useless without that ability.

We've got yet another Missile here now at GAI. And the prop cable jams when you pull it more than halfway back. Seems that mcFarlane can make a real prop governor cable but its expensive and its 2 months. Im frankly surprised the factroy cable is not a lined cable with a jacket.

but you want the EIS to be on all the time for start too because that’s your primary instrument for like oil, pressure and such.

I thought per the STC the display was supposed to be wired to the master.

I don’t get wash wax all. I get washing it and I get waxing it. I just don’t get how they can be combined. I tried it once, and left a smearing of stuff all over the plane, and it set out overnight and when they dew hit it in the morning, it looks like a train wreck. It definitely does not leave an even coating of wax behind.

You would think that, but I think that the shops aren't really looking up, recurring AD's and they aren't tracking the old ones, and the owners don't want to pay for it anyway so they're happy to go along with it.

We are sitting these out for now. They are the old ECI cylinders, and as many AD’s as ECI had coupled with the reputation of continental for building cylinders, I think I’m agreeing with Scott here, some nice standard bore first run Lycoming Cylinders, are the best you can do right now

It may be a weak circuit breaker to one of the pilots here spent four days, tearing his airplane all apart just to find out that the gear actuator breaker was weak and would trip when raising the gear. I suppose you could put a load on it on jacks and resist the motion of it and see if that’s enough to make it trip.

But there must be a lot of unmotivated sellers out there because there are a lot of planes for sale for over a year on the Internet and haven’t moved. The Price hasn’t come down and buyers haven’t bought it for that so I would agree that for the most part asking prices are completely divorced from reality of actual value. The good airplanes that are priced right disappear. In fact, you might even say they wouldn’t even make it to the Internet because the people that know about the airplane locally would buy it. There’s a few planes around here that way.

Gosh after all these years, adjusting the gain fixes the problem. I mentioned on BT that someone adjusted the gains in the AFCS of the G5s and got blasted for how illegal that was. Even though that’s the purpose of gain in a circuit.

Wonder where VRef gets its data?

If it was written neatly in the back of the log that would be great. But most aren’t. And most don’t have the 13 page printout we generate from TData.

Perhaps the fact they are 3/16 of an inch thick and they’re inside of a enclosed cavity has something to do with it. Maybe they’re made with the same rubber that my mechanic has on his Thunderbird the tires are from 1974 and you know what he’s still driving it. That and they’re not supposed to be left empty. But I don’t see how that really compares with a millimeter of poly sulfide sealant. But anyway, let’s just look it outcomes, this board and the Internet is full of owners that had to have their tanks resealed (Willmar is booked out for two years, solid) but I haven’t yet seen anybody with a bladder that started leaking and had to be replaced. I’ve heard of a set of loose clamps, but no outright failures, and Griggs hasn’t heard of them either. theoretically, they degrade over time but in actuality we haven’t seen one fail yet. When we make a statement like borrowed time, it’s usually backed up by data that shows an increasing pattern of failures. But we need data for that I think. Turban engines run across the ocean and back and they put 30,000 hours on them between overhauls. But they have a continuous airworthiness monitoring program, and when the graph turns upwards, they pull it. it’s kind like the whole anti-roller camshaft thing. Oh gosh, those things ain’t no better than flat lifters, it’s the same thing…..you have 5% of the fleet every year replacing engines for spalled camshaft and nobody’s turned up a bad roller lifter yet. 19 years of service now. but I’m with you, though, nothing lasts forever, but sometimes stuff lasts a lot longer than we initially think it would.
