Pictures for everyone would help. Also the Cheltons are a problem and that would involve a major panel upgrade. One of my friends finally replaced his dual Cheltons and now is pretty contnet.
The p ...

Simply put, if you follow Bob's advice below, you wll NEVER need any kind of sensor to tell you the door is closed. The latch in the MIDDLE of the door solved ALL the problems.

I agree with Tim. I finished my build right after Tim.... and here's the thing, once the flap switch is actuated, you either have to look at a flap positioning switch, or you have to look out the win ...

Can anyone chime in as to why there would be a maximum speed for flaps in trail????? Most planes don't even have a reflex flap setting. Would that mean that they shouldn't go faster than 104kts, or ...

Just an FYI concerning the reflex flap setting.... for whatever reason (MT prop with two batteries in back?) putting the flaps in reflex in cruise for me only generates an increase in ground speed abo ...

Patrick,just curious, what prop are you running?

I also have switches for both ignitions. My engine from it's origin was equiped with dual lightspeed ignitions. Especially with the 3 blade MT I always hit the starter button PRIOR to flipping the i ...

A few friends here in Granbury TX (pecan Plantation) used to own both Sky Tech (starters) and Plane Power (alternators), but were bought out by Hartzell.... and they don't repair anything.

I had the right servo fail on my TruTak DigiFltII. Ran into the same issue.... MidContinent was nice enough, but had none of the stuff needed for necessary repairs. Bought a new motor on ebay for $4 ...

Hey, anybody out there based at T31? I'm based out of Pecan, 0TX1, and may be flying in to pick up a friend on the 13th. Wondering about parking a car for a few hours, and maybe an RV10 for a similiar ...

Kelly, way early on I flew with a friend to the Copper State Flyin' and one of my purchases was a set of Rosen sun shades. Although they were used, and for a Cessna 210, I made them work. Then my wi ...

Albert, buy a 795.... it's a fantastic unit. Half the amout we both paid for the 496. Shouldn't need too much larger opening. Don't
buy the 796. IIRC the 795 can be mounted either horizontal or ...

Maybe your plane.... you think an Osprey can get off the ground in under 300'?

Here are some websites to check out. These units have been installed on quite a few planes for quite a while now. They are almost complete with FAA testing (which has been a total pain in the ass) t ...

I always use a pair of digital calipers and measure my brake pads. Gives you pretty good idea how many hours, and/or how many months uses up how many thousands.

Get em balanced Les.... pretty easy.... after 1,000 at 2gph, that's an extra 2,000 gallons at $4, gee, that's $8,000. To say nothing of your engine actually burning ALL the fuel, thus creating less c ...

Well done Les. Thanks for the info. I also have noted that the Aerosprt Power people have always been super.... questions, problems etc. So les, exactly how much HP does this beast produce? What m ...
