    Probably. But they arent selling any parts for the kind that are actuated by the rubber bellows. Someone could do well engineering a repair to that bellows.

    Always take a deposit and get a signed contract. For both the buyer and the sellers benefit. there is no set service life for bladders. Mine is a Griggs right now getting the add on kit. The original bladders were installed in 1991.

    They don't support spares for The mechanical speed brakes. And the electric SB kit is $7800 and a lot of labor to install them too.

    For sale is a GN750 from my personal aircraft. We installed a GTN750xi and kept this one. It comes with a rack, full install kit including connectors and pins, and log entries showing when it was installed and removed. This unit was working perfectly when removed and it has been stored in my guest bedroom since then. If youre local I can plug it back into my airplane and you can check it out. 12,500$

    Cody definitely has his shit together and it's a first class operation. I've heard that from so many sources I can't even count.

    10$ each https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pnpages/04-03785.php also. Not a fan of having paint shops “fix” ratted out fiberglass cowling holes. Smearing polyester resin bondo and maybe some kitty hair to hold it together looks great for about a year. Then it all cracks and falls out.

    Planes are expensive but so are iPhone 14s, diesel F350s, brand new Mercedes-Benzes and Tesla Model Y’s. 10 grand a week Air BNB’s at The beach, and when you have that third kid and need a Surburban and a 1.3M house in the McLean school district, or private school. Makes 20 grand a year for a plane look cheap. Right along with my paid off 09 3-series BMW with 150k miles on it. There’s plenty of money out there it’s just that people are spending it like crazy.

    Your policy includes a duty to defend. It’s just that anything over 100k a seat is on you. If you have an Avemco policy it’s anything over 100k per person. Which is total bullshit

    I think those sky bolts they call 2800 series. Basically a 2700 with a wider flange. They work great. you’ll need the receptacles. The factory length was a -4. But it can vary a little.

    Those Molex connectors aren’t very tight or robust

    If you have a 9 and a 4 year old I’d keep it to M20F or J. They have real room in the backseat and baggage area. The backseat of a C model is the same as an Eagle Talon or a Porsche 911

    Yes, sometimes you have to remove the magneto to install the sensor. We have had fairly good luck avoiding this by using a quarter inch drive ratchet screwdriver which looks like a quarter inch drive ratchet with a flat screwdriver bit which will fit in almost anywhere to turn the screw the back that plug out, and then you can stick to plug in and then turn it with wrench but anyway yes it’s tight

    I guess the next question is determine the corrosability of 35% air at 90° versus 60%or even 80% air at 30°

    The best foam I’ve used is DAX firehard foam. The medium is pretty close to ideal. And it doesn’t break down and sag after a couple of years like the cheap upholstery shop foam will

    Nowhere again, the same argument for the Porsche PFM is the same argument from 12 years ago, it doesn’t work. Mostly because of the life limited valve springs that are not available anywhere and they weren’t available 12 years ago either. The Argument is the same as for buying a Learjet 25, a very pretty and fast cool looking lawn ornament.

    The Rh goes down but that automatically goes down as warmer air holds more water. But what’s the total grains of water per cubic foot? Also corrosion increases as temperature increases, if the water content is the same.

    I used to fly for angel flight. The waiver protects them from lawsuits from the passengers. But it doesn’t protect you one bit. I don’t fly for them anymore after finding this out. Again it’s not the passenger who is the only threat. The bereaved spouse who was counting on that 300k income for ten more years now wants 3m. Your policy pays 100k a seat. You pay the rest. If you have assets they are at risk. The ins company does have a duty to defend, but it’s you or your estate who pays over the 100k. I’m not saying don’t take people flying. But evaluate your relationship and the risk.

    Those waivers are marginal at best, because the passenger can’t sign away the rights of his heirs or his family to sue you. And they will.

    Bill Cunningham at power masters in Tulsa would be my first call. Second would be western skyways.

    Price?

    Wow. Did not know that !

    Where is this setting?

    Gary was a great guy. We met him at the Kerrville Mooney homecoming years back and corresponded over the years since.

    Sceet is ok for some things but never where any suction can be. Like carburetor heat. The suction collapses the inner layer and starves the carburetor.
