I know this is an old post. This caught my attention. If I remember correctly, this tube is approx 2" diameter. A 1/2" restriction will reduce the volume by about half. I have a '77 C172N with an AirPlains 180 hp conversion. The connection between the air cleaner and the carb box should not...

Likely if your GTN650 has a FS510 or is connected to a FS210, the bluetooth connectivity in GTX345 is disabled.

If money is tight, don't worry too much about a high-end headset. After you get your license, the first thing you're going to buy is another headset so you can fly with a passenger. I bought a handheld once I started my instrument training. I use it every time I fly to listen to ATIS while...

It's a Cessna and I have the correct part from Cessna.

In Part 43, appendix A, subpart C, owners are allowed to replace any hose connection except hydraulic connections. Does this include replacing SCAT tubes and the duct between the air cleaner and carburetor?

What kind of plane? Instrument rating? What is your starting point? I've done the trip a few times from NJ. The last time was KCDW-KCAK-KENW-OSH. I left late in the day and stayed overnight in Akron. I highly recommend taking the skyline route around Chicago. Each year I have multiple...

The gnc255 is only connected to the GI 106. The GTN 650 is connected to the G5.

I have to agree with this. KTEB might be the closest to NYC, but KCDW would only take a few minutes longer to get into the city. I assume the costs would be significantly lower at KCDW. If you looking for even lower costs, N07 (Lincoln Park) would be my next choice.

By public transport, NJ Transit buses run from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC to the Willowbrook mall which is about a mile from CDW. I think the bus is about $15 each way. Some flight schools at CDW will pick up from the bus stop and bring students or pilots to the airport. If they...

From NYC, it will be much easier to get to KCDW. There are multiple fight schools that will do flight tours.

I've used both of these this past year and during the bad storms in 2021: AmazonSmile : Canopy Stakes Canopy Anchors Beach Tent Stakes Heavy Duty Screw Shape 25 cm 10 inch - 8 Pack Orange Tent Stake for Outdoor Hiking Camping : Sports & Outdoors AmazonSmile : Orange Screw: The Ultimate Ground...

Don't use the little stakes that come with most tents. It's worth the investment to get longer, better holding stakes. I highly recommend ones that screw into the ground. It doesn't matter if you're in Camp Scholler or the N40, good tent stakes will help you survive a storm.

Has anyone looked into carrying a folding e-bike? I have a Skyhawk and I'm starting to look to find a bike that can be carried without removing the back seat.

I know a bunch of others mentioned this - CHECK THE INSURANCE on the various models that have been suggested. You may consider getting a plane that is somewhat less than your ideal plane in order to build time. Then once you have several hundred hours and your IR, you can look to upgrade. I...

I have a GTN650 connected to a G5 and a GNC255 connected to a King KI-209. All works great.
