    The vacuum mechanical sped brakes are dead reliable. The electric sped brakes often need a cartridge rebuilt every couple years for 1000$. Also, the electric speed brake kit is over 7000$ as well. So your gonna spend 8500-10k on this.

    Yup. Check the vacuum level and the plumbing. If that’s ok Send for OH to aircraft quality instruments. Wichita ks. My AI has 600+ hours on it and still doing good.

    No. I’m not making that argument and either is he. Im skeptical of 9H nano claims. He said a bottle of Klasse also lass two years. It’s not a wax. It’s a sealant. He is thinking that this new stuff is repackaged sealant.
  4. jetdriven
    His thing was that a 30$ bottle of sealer is essentially the same thing.

    Is ceramic coating a scam? This guy thinks so.

    Reground lifters meet new limits and they certainly do that, they save 100$ in parts and it will last the year warranty. . But I don’t think a reground iron lifter is the same as a new one that’s been nitrided nor a DLC coated one.

    Love those planes. If you noticed I ripped a little off of your Ovation.

    Shops often use reground lifters which are cheaper than new. Then you end up tearing it down for lifter failure 600 hours later and pay for a whole nother rebuild.

    Yes I’ve written about that. Yes, a shiny plane comes out. But one sands the airplane and the other uses Alumigrip, with Napa thinner. Gets overspray all over the plane because he has no paint booth, then buffs the overspray off and then dabs paint on the shiny bare rivets. They’re not painting my lawn mower.

    In all those 15 years we haven’t read about anyone who had roller lifters that aused an engine tear down and rebuild, but just this board alone has maybe a hundred stories of that with flat lifters. DLC lifters excluded.

    Hawk is great. Arkansas is horrifying.

    I may have some 77J seats coming up

    Roller tappets have been standard on most factory overhauls since 2005. That’s 15 years and millions of hours of service.
  14. jetdriven
    That’s the same price as a factory roller motor with two mags. You will most likely get a new case with that too.

    I’ve read that they actually don’t weigh every plane. They weigh every (5th, or 12th etc) and apply that to the ones in between. This is before equipment is added. So the original number is an estimate.
  16. jetdriven
    Quite a bit more of the former, not as many of the latter. .

    It’s not an LCD. It’s a multilayer plastic screen that displays the projected image.

    The split-scimitar curb feeler winglets dont resemble the MAX winglets. Also the engines and tail section are different. And the nose strut is longer. Besides that it’s almost the same.

    One issue with making these out of rigid composite, is it’s going to wear the heck out of your expensive aluminum gear doors. Fiberglass and carbon fiber will saw right through aluminum. The factory makes these things from flexible urethane for a reason. They confirm a little to the rear of the lower gear door.

    Post the sheet. You need to normalize it for hours. And adjust for sitting etc
  21. jetdriven
    No, it’s about 2575 RPM static. At about 60 to 90 mph, it can reach 2700

    Just saying that sitting in the Cirrus while cold air and Boston “more than a feeling” sells airplanes.

    Who does them for 500$? I had to pay around 800$. Asking for a friend.

    Ther shouldn’t be any paint stripper in the wheel wells. That laminated spar is exposed and it wicks it’s way into the small spaces between the parts. Then they usually use a pressure washer to remove the stripper which drives it further into the seams. A few year later, corrosion is evident on the spar cap and it gets really expensive to fox that.
