Hmm really? Any issues with excessive residue or flying through light precipitation? Apply it and wipe it just like Pledge?

I'm late to the party. My 2 cans are finally running on fumes, and to my wonderful surprise I see this is now out of stock everywhere. What are some good alternatives before I attempt Pledge on the windshield?

Has anyone ever experienced a radio where it constantly goes in and out of squelch and you can see the RX flashing on and off? It's like the squelch is too sensitive and distance comms are breaking it. You switch to another channel, and it stops. We had a shop put it on the bench and adjust...

Slowly but surely learn more and more about the inner workings of your plane. Learn how to change your own oil. There's tremendous value in removing the cowling and inspecting the entire engine bay while you save yourself $250 doing it yourself.

I know. Hard lesson learned. Need to thoroughly inspect things like this before we fly away. He just didn't notice it.

Shop purchased the windshield. They received it. We never saw it until it was installed.

Update: Sadly, this will go nowhere. The shop shrugs it off like they did no wrong. The manufacturer hasn't even responded to concerns in over a week. Lesson learned unfortunately. The funny thing is that molding defect up high by the vent doesn't bother me as much as the left curve which...

Yeah as long as it isn't a weakened point on the window that may crack early, then I agree it's not worth the $$ and effort.

Lint from microfiber cloth.

O-470R. Change oil every 25 hours. We toss in about 3 quarts between every change of Aeroshell 100W. Unknown how much is blow out and how much is actually burning.

Just got a new windshield installed in a 182. I finally had a chance to see it, since my partner flew it home when it was done. I noticed what looks like a defect in the windshield right near the pilot's overhead air vent. Can anyone shed some light on this? It looks like an obvious defect...

Hi everyone. Trying to track down the part and used cost for the above. Can anyone help? TIA
