A few people asked for some pictures of the reapirs and mods to my MIIIC. Again, very few are original ideas. Got a lot of help and advice from Hauck brothers, John Williamson, Steven Green, etc.
Pictures are low resolution for speed and memory load. If you need better or more detail let me know.
Got about 6 hours on the old girl. Plane is flying a lot better than the pilot right now. One thing is really neat. Don't know how much is new rudder trim tab or that hard landing "adjustment" but the old "Kolb left roll" has dissappeared. She flies hands off, never did that. Can't explain why, not asking, just counting another blessing.
Also learned last night, that in just the right situation, a Garmin 196 will but noise in your radio. If the antennae wires and the units get too close together.
Having a blast again, Living the Dream.
