If you're just looking to seal a joint, and you have a good way to support the inner diameter while wrapping, silicone tape does the trick too. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pnpages/09-30450.php

Well, the Bonanza and Baron still both have continentals. Very low annual sales, which just goes to show that it really is about the $$ to certify.

Wow, I've got a '16 Colorado with 105,000 miles. Still haven't worn through the pads at either end of the truck, let alone damaged the rotors. Either our driving styles are drastically different, or your shop is really trying to stick it to you.

Apple designs a lot of their own CPUs. They still farm out the fabrication to the usual players in the market. And I can't upgrade to the new mini unfortunately because it won't fit in my xnaut cooling case. I guess I could always pre-order their new case.....hmmm.

I've got a skybeacon, which is nearly identical. Here's my take on your issue, worth every penny you're paying me for it. Yeah, the wifi should require the passcode that's printed on the little sticker that came with the unit. Not sure why your iphone isn't apparently asking for it. Does the...

First thing I do any time there is an issue between my Stratux and Foreflight is to reflash the SD card for the Stratux. 2 reasons: 1. Re-flashing usually involves downloading the latest image, so you get the latest software 2. The cards/data can become corrupt after a length of time in use...

So I'm looking at tearing apart the nose gear on my plane (1979 Beech Sundowner) and rebuilding to fix a moderate shimmy on landing. While I've got it apart, I figure the big magnesium castings are overdue to be stripped and repainted. I don't really have the facilities to clean and prep, let...

Yeah, every time I flew out of VGT, I got cleared through the Bravo (except once when I chose to fly low and stay under the shelves...not recommended). First time, I contacted clearance delivery, they directed me to ground. From that point on, I just contacted ground, told them my direction of...

Attitude indicator...yeah. Radio reinstall, no (covered by 43.13 Appendix A, Para C preventative maintenance)

After a couple of years in my Beech Sundowner, I taxied a PA-28. Lightest pedals in taxi I can remember since my flight training in 152's and 172's

I'll check the rest of my documentation in the hangar. I have the same model, but all I've got here at home is the installation manual. No user manual to be seen. I don't think I have it though. Definitely a Shadin Digital Fuel Flow Meter. STC paperwork for my install was STC SA1237GL

Not in the same region as you, but I called 2 local AME's, both of which said no. The local EAA chapter has one they use though, I'm working to get my physical taken care of with him in the next week or two.

Even though I own, I've been maintaining non-owner/rental insurance, just in case I decide to rent something different. My renewal for AOPA/Assured Partners is due. I went in to renew, but now it's asking for specific makes for aircraft I plan to fly, as well as hours in type. Problem is, I...

I had mine serviced at Fire Ace in Lancaster. And yes, it was Halon. About 2 years ago.
