BTW... i just put a SMALL rare earth magnet on the latch and it holds it tighter than a straight man's butt cheeks in prison!

How much was the console? if you don't mind me asking?

Oh you are probably right... but i just can't see anyone paying that price i guess

I just noticed on the blackMAX website..... they now have a CATHETER OPTION for those engines and planes with a vent hole higher than it should be... according to the website.... you pass the catheter ip the tube past the vent hole.. then inflate the small balloon with a syringe included to...

I gave up on the project.... I couldn't find anyone local to fabricate a proper solution. Technically, if the bottle vent tube cannot be closed off completely while the dehydrator is in use.. the system will leak air and won't work correctly. i used the oil dipstick hole when i was using the...

I realize the Garmin g1000nxi does not come with Garmin smart glide as an available add on. But.... Is it ridiculous to assume that if Garmin wanted to do it... they could add it on as an option to the G1000nxi? I am no expert so there must be some reason they are not offering it in the G1000...

here is a pic... The new one is on the right. The left one is what happened after about 35 uses or so.... I think is i could machine a plastic replacement with a hole to put the tube through.. it would be great

definitely plan on reporting it ... in hopes they can machine a suitable fix.

I just wanted to post a problem i noticed with my Black Max engine dehydrator and i want to make sure others are aware of a potential widespread problem with the black heavy duty fitting on the end of the tube which fits into the oil breather or the oil dipstick tube of the airplane. After...

At BXM, brunswick maine... a community heated hanger with pull out, push in service is 375.00 per month for a single engine airplane.
