I did notice he landed past my touchdown point. [emoji16] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, the weather could have been better. KLNS was broadcasting 800 OVC with light rain and good VIS. 20 miles out, running down hill in IMC with rain, approach tells me the tower is reporting rapidly deteriorating conditions, rain, fog, and 1/4 to 1/2 mile Visibility. The wife was outside and picked up the rabbit around 100 over mins. As we're parking I notice a crowd standing in the rain along the fence. Then they begin to cheer. I turn around just in time to see Trump landing. We left at around noon today and it was much less eventful. [emoji41] I'll certainly give you a call next time I'm in the area. Do the same if your ever around Richmond. I'm SW at KBKT. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nice approach into Lancaster yesterday afternoon. https://vimeo.com/185209486

Here is a short clip of my son and I shooting a GPS approach into our home field. Mins are 300 and we made the field around 400 if I remember correctly. Interesting day with a solid overcast above a broken layer that was at mins. Compared to most it's a poor video. My_Movie2.mp4

For me, hands down, Belly Wash. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/aerobellywash.php Get the pad with it and the sticky, sooty stuff just wipes off. Fantastic stuff. I use the W&W Blue for bugs on leading edges and like it as well.

My 70F has split rear seats as well.

Congrats! Really nice bird! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You must upgrade to pro plus.

I'd check the FP with a different gauge. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

http://www.batteryminders.com/batteryminder-model-128cec1-aa-s5-12v-8-amp-concorde-aviation-battery-charger-maintainer-desulfator/ This is the newer version of what I use. Of note; I've used it on a Concorde for six years while my business partner chose not to on his Skyhawk. Same environment-comparable flight times- both have Skytec starters- one IO360- O360 and we just replaced his Concorde after 36 months. Scientific, heck no but he just bought the unit above.

I use a battery minder that is specifically designed for a Concorde aviation battery on my Mooney with excellent results. It has a temp sensor attached to the battery and I'm very comfortable leaving it running in my absence. In the summer its not much of an issue but I think it is valuable in the low temps we have in the winter. Brisk starts durIng the bitter cold are the norm. Nothing scientific but my battery challenges are nonexistent since I bought a quality charger/maintainer. My experience, less money spent on batteries and great starts year around.

+1 one for Orion Nav/Anti Col. all the way around and removing the beacon.

Congrats from a fellow F driver! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Tons on this site via search. That being said, http://www.donmaxwell.com/publications/MAPA_TEXT/_overlay/Fuel Tank Repair_How We Fix Them 2-05.htm

Unfortunate to say the least.

Welcome! I'm an F driver as well.

It's not the lines- it's my health. Dang if I don't pick up a bug more times than not when I fly commercial.

Very nice! Which model 360Fly are you using?

Thanks for posting! Looks very cool. I looked up the specs on the newest version and it says it will accept a BT audio input. This could be really fantastic if it will link up with my BT audio panel. Video with ATC with no wires! joe

Here is a Don Maxwell opinion. http://www.donmaxwell.com/publications/MAPA_TEXT/Field Overhaul/Having Your Engine Overhauled In The Field.htm

Nice!

The original question- Is it worth it? Seems like a low-risk proposition. Put it on and try it. If you don't like it send it back. That was my thinking when I was on the fence. I figured all it would cost 3-4 hours labor on both ends. My stock exhaust needed inspection anyway so I was really down to 3-4 hours of labor if I didn't like it. I didn't pay $4000 either. Bought in advance and saved a considerable amount. I'm fairly certain I can sell my stock exhaust and recoup some funds. I've chosen to keep mine. Others may have chosen differently. I've heard stories of someone who knew someone who knew someone that returned theirs. I do believe some are returned. Anyone here that has exercised that option?
