    EZ-Turn fuel line works great on NPT fittings. It used to be called Parker fuel lube.

    We have done two of them but we are in MD. I'm a big fan of the 275 EIS, we removed a JPI830 and installed one in my plane.

    We tried to buy a new WX 500 a couple years ago. We got notified that even though it was in the order catalog, there was no way to order one and then we found out it got sold the Extant, and then we figured out what the scam was.

    Wow. It was 3500$ in April of 2022

    Continental in one of their service letters says to put Molykote assembly, grease on the face of the lifter when you reinstall it

    It depends. A patch job might be something like two grand, with limited results, but a full reseal is something like 15 grand. Long body airplanes, kill the shock discs in a couple or five years no matter what. Meanwhile, a short body airplane can go 20 years. It all depends.

    Absolutely have the prebuy done by someone who knows these planes well and had no possible conflict. Your situation is nothing but conflict. Regardless of perceived reputation, unless you are getting a warranty on this plane. Take it to a different place. If the seller won't let it leave, that says s lot right there, too.

    better is the enemy of good enough... Might as well pull all 4 cylinders then.... Moght as well split the case and do that part too. Putting the right finish on the cylinder wall with a flex hone as long as it's standard size is an acceptable repair. Obviously if it has valve issues or the guides are shot you should fix those, but not just because the cylinder came off

    They kind of all do that

    It soaks into the clutch and messes that up.

    we have a medium grit flex hone that's perfect for these barrels. And often a new piston is just about as easy as cleaning up the old one if it's heavily carboned up. . You can do the job right or you can pass on it.

    Lightly hone the cylinder and put new rings. Check the end gaps. Do the job right

    Valentine won't work on a 500. I'm not sure if he can issue and 8130 or not either. In our case it was some kind of surface mount fuse that cost us $3700 with an 8130 from extant. Pray you never have to deal with these fools, I heard that the avidyne Entrgra display is a flat rate $21,000 a side for a Cirrus so if your button or knob sticks that's $21,000.

    The only company that services these is Extant. And they are a horrible company to deal with. They charge 3500$ or more for a flat rate repair. I know a place that can issue an 8130 form which is valid for export.

    It could also mean the mixture is it way too rich

    One of the first things you do, is pull out the radio and then ring out the wiring from the back plate of the radio tray to the auto pilot. But you'd figure that they would figure out that the d-sub was upside down and the pins were smashed over in about three seconds.

    Yes. The GI275 MFD will get its nav data from the 430 either from RS232 or A429. The manual will tell you. It gets all the data from the GTN via HSDB. I have one setup this way.

    That's TPP found in the plus aeroshell oil. It's actually acid that eats a thin layer of corrosion on the parts.

    They're slightly longer. But we didn't trim them. We did position them fore/aft where they sat the best then drilled the hinge holes

    Textron bought up all the Eaton clamps for Bravos and instead of 180$ it's 1500$. Similar situation on M20K turbo clamps. But if you need one they may have it.

    The factory has raised their prices so much I don't know if it's such a good value anymore. The flying club here is switching out their O360 Cardinal 177 engine out for a factory OH. It's over 50k now.

    You can retrofit the current production overlapping nose gear doors to a G model. We retrofitted them to an early 1962 M20C model, for example.

    760 has a bullshit AHRS. It's not really AHRS.

    You need the 500$ GTP59.
