    the Rami AV100 is a certified 406/121.4 ELT whip antenna its TSO'd. it also fits under the dorsal fin if you bent it a little.

    You have to add the Tach2

    The reason the screw is leaking because either the sealant over the open end of the nut plate is compromised or fuel is seeping in from the edges of panel to the shank of the screw but either way those are both also polysulfide sealants. The panel is held in with CS3330 and the nutplate I think is sealed with PR1422/CS3204.

    it is.

    I think the newest thing here is they run the 80 grit hone through the cylinder and then a 400 grit hone, both the bottle brush style. . And then plain iron rings, the kind used for chrome cylinders. But probably the valve guides are worn out at this point as well so you probably want to go ahead and have those looked at my guy. Tim is a wizard with cylinders. We took the parrot wizard’s plane from a QT every three hours to a QT every 25 probably.

    Use the right stuff. PR-1422

    I think this is going to be like the ovation interior in my M20J, one and done.. Typically you know you're just about finished when you're correcting mistakes made by the factory.

    That's really astounding, I was at the paint shop, trying to figure out the radius for the windows, I went back to the shop in Texas I was working at, and we fished out a later model J that had the radius windows, and then I tried to find something that was the right size and it was a Folgers coffee can fit it perfectly. I guess now I know why. I called the paint shop back and said use a Folgers coffee can, tape around that.

    What was your oil temperature? The usual 192?

    thats also a favored place for scammers.

    vaporware. And the user interface is awful too. plus the price is 5100$, which is basically the same as a garmin radio

    He may have the right to a lein for unpaid work, but he cant impound the plane if its paid for. Also, all maintenance must be logged. If he did an annual inspection, he doesnt get to withhold it, or sign it as unairworthy. The PIC determines airworthiness. He can sign the annual and give you a list of discrepancies. My number is in my profile, or call me at 484-4FLY-RPM, give me a call we can talk further. I got some ideas.

    They’re pretty tight lipped over there at the ARC. They ain’t gonna give you no tips on how to fly faster, but maybe somebody will tell you how they put helium inside the structural fuselage tubes to lose a couple pounds of weight and move the CG back. personally, it’s easier just to let 20 pounds of air out of each tire that’s 40 pounds right there

    We’ve got this plane in the shop in the client wants us to mill or sand a 16th off of the edge of the window so that when you put it from inside the plane to mount it it’s sits flush with the sheet metal. It looks like a good idea especially for a speedy plane like a Mooney, but is anybody done this? Some discussion on how it was done and how it looks like when it’s done and whether it’s worth doing would be much appreciated.

    When they buy gas for 4$ they sell it for 6$. When they buy it for 3$ and the spot price goes to 4$, they sell it for 6$.

    Once you come off the ground, even on a 4000’ runway, there really isn’t enough to stop. Besides. You can stop on the belly skins.

    Good info. Positive rate, gear up.

    What part number is it ?

    Interesting thing about the Hertz selloff, those cars are market price. They are 2021 and 2022 Model 3's but they are the base RWD trim, some are the long range variant, but 25-28K is market price for one of those with 90K miles on it. I think Uber drivers were renting them by the week or something.

    Ive had plenty of turbo cars and none of them glow unless youre producing 75% power continuously and then shut it down hot. None of them produce airplane levels of power for anything beyond about 12 seconds anyway. There is no comparison.

    what about this part, you took issue with 1/3rd of my statement. for 6 or 7 hours at a time, for 2000 hours or more. I cant believe we are even talking about substituting Amazon, ebay, or Summit racing style V-band clamps for the real thing. Even the real items get you killed.

    but they dont run cherry red at 1650 degrees for 6 or 7 hours at a time, for 2000 hours or more.

    LP Aero says not to use a sabre saw to cut the plastic windows. We used a band saw or a belt sander. NOT RECOMMENDED: Trimming with a jig saw, saber saw, or a hand saw is not advisable. If hand sawing is absolutely necessary, a coping saw with a bone cutting blade with 30 teeth per inch may be used. Extreme care must be used to avoid the blade hanging up and starting a crack. We recommend that the blade be inserted in the saw backward so that the blade cuts when it is drawn towards you. Do not allow the edges of the acrylic to pinch and bind the blade

    Given as there is an AD on these, and how critical they are when they fail. it better be an exact copy or better than the OEM part. I bet the Amazon version is not made with the proper metal or a cheaper stud, or something else. Theres also batches of items made and presumably some of them have been tested. Im all for owner produced parts and substitutions but this is the jesus nut of a turbocharged airplane.

    On the early J models they use what appears to be CS3330 which is an access door sealant. use the B2 so you have plenty of working time.
