Those senders get gunked up with corrosion and stuff and we’ve had really good luck sending them to Keystone and for about 100 bucks apiece they will come back like new, I just did this with my plane and then we calibrated it with the 275 engine monitor and it’s deadass all the time

When you run the bladders totally empty they tend to kind of sag a little bit and then when you fill them back up, air is trapped behind them and it takes a couple of minutes for it to squish out so if you go back in the morning, you will see they hold one more gallon per side

It could be the ribbon cables inside the unit unit. We had the unit to do this and we sent it to auto pilot Central. I think it was and they went through it and messed with it and cleaned it up and did whatever it cost 1000 bucks though and it works now it’s been two years. Another thing also was those stupid circular connectors will act up in flight. Ours was randomly ignoring the bug at times and then halfway ignoring it if you can imagine that the servo would just kinda go to the neutral position and you could override it left or right it would just stay there. And then we figured out what it was. It was a cold solder joint to the AC transformer inside the Magic box. Of course I soldered this wire and for some reason the an ionic decided to resolder it and that’s when it was broken, but it was barely contacted. It was getting some AC through and it was kind of fading in and out and the way it was responding to was responding to head g

The first Concorde lasted seven years, but the second one lasted barely 2, we found a bad diode in the alternator and the AC output, probably fried it.

There are really no good options for this, although the one at the spar is further away, and there are less passengers in the backseat than the front.

For all of you saying to adequately insure your plane, we could not insure our plane for what we could sell it for tomorrow. They refuse to insure it for more than about 190k but seeing what planes sell for it would bring a lot more. So you’re underinsured because they refused to write a policy big enough.

If you watch that video carefully, the gear wasn’t all the way down. I can’t understand why somebody wouldn’t have a gear down and locked indication or the floor indicator wouldn’t be showing the gear down either and still go ahead and try to land it.

We had to pay $250 extra to have a waiver of subrogation for the air venture cup to the EAA so that I guess we can’t sue them, i’m neither can our insurance company.. But meanwhile, you can give rides in a rotorcraft and kill some people and you’re not required to have insurance at all.

You might have to ship the engine and there's a few places you might want to consider such as western skyways or Poplar Grove, perhaps Columbia aircraft engines.

I have a few Eaton actuators and a Dukes actuator as well.

If you got fuel leaks, and you’re fixing to pay for a full reseal all of a sudden the price difference is pretty small. But I wouldn’t just go adding that to get it if your tanks are solid.

That rule of thumb is stale. You get almost all the money back if not all. 2 years ago a 4-servo GFC-500 was 18k installed. Now it’s 26k. Next year it’s gonna be 30.

54 for one bladder set. And 64 for the other. 64 is worth it

They stopped making the a400. The A344 won’t fit there

I had a Lawyer friend told me the same thing about Lawyers. he said just because 98% of them are bad doesn’t mean the other 2 percent aren’t good

Yes, they just make the most money by ripping people off. And they will do it without even a shred of decency or morals. It’s just about money. It’s like when they buy a private water systems for cities, and then they blow up the water system and then they make the city buyout their contract early for 1 millions of dollars and meanwhile, citizens have no clean water because the infrastructure has completely fallen apart. But that’s part of the business model, but at least they made some money while people have to suffer. it used to be illegal to do things like this.

I agree it’s a crappy location, but it’s better than all the other locations, which are worse unless we just don’t have a fire extinguisher, which you know, We thought we might want one.

I think it’s riveted through a hole you make in the spar, but if you’re gonna drill a hole in the spar, you need to have solid concrete evidence to stand on such as the actual factory drawing.

Signature is owned by BBA, which is the British company whose objective is to siphon money out of America. You never know why signature only operates in markets when there is a single FBO, they get all of the available space to lease and then they basically gouge people for it. it’s not normal supply and demand, it’s an FBO with built-in monopoly and then gouging people.

The factory pop riveted through a hole in the spar Web. Which is easy to do. I just need the drawing to have the authority to do it. I guess I could hire a DER, but it might be easier to do it this way.

In need of a fire extinguisher mount for our new interior. Mooney has a drawing number 940079-501 or -503 to do this but they won’t sell the kit that has it. Does anyone have this drawing ?

We installed the new interior in our 1977 J model and now the Rosen’s kind of don’t stow anywhere. I believe somebody said that somebody had a pattern to cut them down to a smaller size so they stow better but still are usable. Does anybody have this pattern?

I just installed the Whelen LED baggage light and Don Muncy’s timer and it’s awesome. Push the momentary on switch and you get 20 mins of light. Thanks @Donmuncy for such a great idea !

We love the 275 EIS
