  1. we dont know. Its not a Michelin Airstop, its not an aeroclassic leakguard, its not a Goodyear.
  2. Tubes are kinda scary right now. We just replaced a tube on an A36 with 50 hours on it. Complete garbage, its falling apart.
  3. Isn't that one in Norwood MA the one that missed the rear spar corrosion?
  4. Oh it's far worse
  5. The Imron AF400 codes don't cross over to anything else than anybody makes. So unless you have somebody actually mix AF400 up the code in the book doesn't really matter
  6. its a standard 3/8" rubber fuel injection hose from Autozone. slips on over the fuel drain nipple.
  7. We just had a client fear that we take care of his airplane, and it was pouring smoke and combustion Byproducts out of the breather tube so bad it looked like an airshow plane while he was taxiing in from a local flight. Compression tester number four was weird it would either show 30 or 79, and jiggling the prop a little bit could make it jump back-and-forth. We soaked it overnight in B12 and it got a little better but it was still doing it, so we pulled the cylinder and found this.
  8. The GI275 install manual shows it's compatible with the JPI rpm sensor. But it's also compatible with the UMA rpm sender. Which is about half the cost. They appear the same.
  9. It's funny because when you get the Engine from the factory it says major overhaul right there on the first page. Funny how their service instruction says that if you don't calibrate the airframe engine gauges it's not overhauled.
  10. A Garmin dealer In NC but they all do that
  11. Chapman was quoted as saying "simplify, then add lightness."
  12. I had a buddy I was flying with to get his commercial license, and I noticed he logged 6 hours of Baron 58P time as PIC, but he doesnt have a multi rating. When I asked about it the story comes out, the owner and his buddy wanted him to fly them down to Dallas to go to the strip clubs late at night, then they flew back bit the owner was totally wasted. So by his reckoning, he was PIC because the owner was completely wasted and the person in the backseat wasn't even a pilot at all and I was like Dave it doesn't work that way. Later he called and said he picked up a ton of ice in his glasair, and then it handled it great it was no problem. And when I asked what he was doing flying around i icing conditions he said hauling freight. Leave it to say I didn't fly with him but after that
  13. AERO hose shop in granite city IL is also good. significantly cheaper than PHT which really went up
  14. this guy literally showed up with a wingtip and an aileron and thought hew would fly it home. I told him on the phone, before, that my gut feeling was 10 grand for an engineering report and 50-100K to fix it.
  15. i dont know why i had to pay 500$ installation to slide the XI into the GTN750 tray either.
  16. 25 rpm per turn. it wont make 2700 static, the manual says fly for 5 mins and note RPM, then make changes.
  17. PIC is listed on the flight plan.
  18. set it to basic and 0. thats the only way it works evidently. i got the XI and replaced a straight 750. I flew home actuial IFr in the clouds as I was in a hurry. I missed a lot of radio calls.
  19. The later models SMM say that rubber hoses should be replaced every seven years, but Teflon hoses are on condition. Also, AC 4313 talks about hoses, and it does say that Teflon hoses will take a set after a while and they should not be bent into a tight radius and to use care when moving them or replacing them, because it could form a kink in the inner liner which is not visible. Thus, a Teflon hose that takes a set is not unairworthy, it just needs to be bent or moved carefully.They put Teflon hoses on spacecraft and 14 years is laughable given the hours you have flown it, actually mine are going on 12 years and I've got no plans to replace them anytime soon
  20. Funny you forgot to mention that both on the ebay ad and here. So now you're warranting the crank gear inspection has been done but the engine wasnt torn down and inspected? Was the gear replaced or was it magnetic particle inspected?
  21. I was talking about the Aera 760. I was mixing replies, The AHRS commment was in regard to this: On 3/16/2021 at 5:54 AM, ilovecornfields said: My panel mounted 760 AHRS acts like it’s drunk and will randomly show a turn when I’m straight and level and they took away the checklist feature that the 796 had. When I asked Garmin about it they recommended scanning my checklist into a pdf. I ended up disabling the built-in AHRS and just using the FS210 like I did with the 796. Maybe it’s too early to decide, but I preferred the 796. I have all the fancy stuff in my GTNs so I don’t really see the added value of having it on the 760.
  22. I don't think it has a real ahrs, I think it takes ground speed and infers some kind of flight path like the AV20 does, but it's not any good at all. Another thing that they sold heavily was it 2-way flight plan transfer, but it's supposed to use map MX format one which is a one-way only protocol.
  23. People have to get adjusted to FAR 23 aircraft. The maintenance manual has a clear list of repairs zones where you can do field style repairs, but there are a lot of places where you must contact the manufacturer for Support . There is some pilot here in A Cessna 170 who ran into the right side rear of the wing of a cirrus SR 22 here at our old airport. It made it thru the aileron, and rear spar, and into the skin up almost to the main spar, but not quite. Anyways the repair manual is very specific, to remove or attempt to remove the wing halves or the entire wing you must contact the factory for service support, and any repairs in the no repair zone also the same thing. So I contacted Cirrus, and it's going to be $13,000 just to draw up an engineering report to tell us how to fix it, then we have to buy all the parts from them but he said it's going to stretch way over 100 grand. And this is with the manufacturer providing parts which they may not always provide say, an outboard wing spar half or a skin for a 20 year old Cirrus. Try to get parts for a first generation eclipse 500. Anyway the plane still sits here. Some guy bought it off eBay for 100 grand, he thought he was going to fix it up, and when you get smacked upside the head with this, he's looking for a way out but he's way upside down in it.
  24. You mean this one? http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2020/08/mooney-m20c-ranger-n6080q-incident.html?m=0 You forgot to mention the gear-up landing.
