  1. When I was eligible to remove the round gauges, I kept them because it took me some time to get used to looking at a number instead of a position on a round dial. After so many years of flying round gauges, it was hard to switch. I ended up flying partial panel, covering up the ASI until it became natural. Now I wonder if I could fly a round gauge again.

  2. The infamous shock cooling. Wonder how you would go about determining 50° per minute with a non graduated marked gauge? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  3. Don’t you love it when a lawyer talks dirty. [emoji6][emoji1787] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  4. You should rest your case. I never understood why a manufacturer would stoop to taking shots at another manufacturer’s instead of just promoting their own products. If your products are superior, owners will make that determination. You don’t think we talk amongst each other? Owners share their experiences with each about products and service on a regular basis. This far outweighs the negative smear campaigns any manufacturer makes against another. Maybe it is time you stay behind the curtains in the R&D and manufacturing parts of your business and let real marketing & sales people promote your products. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  5. I figured someone knew what I was talking about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  6. A shop that is designated as a repair station is certified by the FAA under 14 CFR Part 145. This involves the shop being periodically inspected to verify the shop is operating using acceptable repair practices among other things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  7. Don’t feel bad. I had one of these attached to my pitot tube. It worked great until one day it decided not to flip up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  8. Cyan. Here is a good question. What color of diesel is in a farmer’s truck? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  9. Are you certain your alternator has been charging the entire time? You did not mention what kind of voltage you were seeing in flight. I would pick up at a minimum one of those cigar lighter voltage meters and make sure you are consistently seeing at a nominal 13.8 volts. As for the draining while sitting. I know some devices draw a small amount of current to keep memory. Maybe you have something drawing power with the master off. In my Mooney, if you accidentally leave the overhead light on, it’ll drain my battery over time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  10. And probably some swamp land as well. Those despicable Mooney owners. Hey wait. I’m one of them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  11. She’s purdy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  12. What Dan is saying is pretty important. Since it is a private company not subject to GAAP rules, if they used the company as a shell company to hide liabilities, you’ll get saddled with them. It would be to your advantage to buy the asset from the company and leave the ownership of the “company” with the seller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  13. Learned about the same time as the A-N radio range stuff? [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  14. Ain’t that the truth! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  15. The 75s have reclining rear seats but fixed front ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  16. I think getting a quote from an avionics shop on the cost of the conversion will answer that question for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  17. Reach out to Andy Smith at Aspen. He is on the Facebook Aspen User Group and answers a lot of questions like these. At one point, the Aspen 1000 required standby instruments but there have been some changes that will allow the elimination (requires the Max version, extended battery pack, etc.). I went with an ESI-500 for the backup to my Aspen 2000 (both units are 1000 units). Even though I could eliminate the backup instruments, I still wanted an independent AI and Nav indicator(belt plus suspenders kind of guy). The ESI-500 can support Nav input as well as it’s own magnometer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  18. No fatties sans one on this flight. [emoji38] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  19. Your tires don’t last that long? Sounds like someone is making carrier landings. [emoji6] I’ve had tires last that long. In fact, I’ve replaced tires because they were starting to checker but still had good treads on them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  20. Density altitude was around 5400’ on this part of the climb today. Down lower I was seeing mid 700s. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  21. I can open it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  22. There are snipping tool equivalent out there for a Mac. Some may be free. You wouldn’t want to jeopardize your CH membership. https://www.apowersoft.com/snipping-tool-for-mac.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  23. Or if he is using a Windows PC he could use the snipping tool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  24. I thought that only applied in my SR-71. [emoji38] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  25. SureFlight at KMQS can do it. I think it might be a bit more expensive because it would be a custom fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
