In case anyone is curious:
Called Sarasota Avionics in Venice, FL. today.

(In addition to the price of the kit)

Also required flight testing.

A1A, one block north of Oakland Park Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale.
outstanding flavor and aroma, consistent, fast service, not expensive!

thanks,
Knew perfectly well there was a POTUS TRUMP TFR near KPBI. Flying direct from KOBE to KPMP. Busted the TFR anyway because I was distracted on a Rockwell Commander sales-demo hop with two prospective buyers. Sensed a presence to my left and sure enough F-15 #1 soon joined by F-15 #2 to my...

That’s my 180 HP Avcon constant speed prop C-172 conversion and my awesome dog BEASLEY who loves to fly. He’s a 4 y/o rescue we’ve had for 3 years and is the sweetest smartest soul in my world. 90 lbs of pure-undiluted love and devotion.
If you are in the Durango area and are comfortable with mountain flying, a hop into Telluride is spectacular and unforgettable. Also Santa Fe, Monument Valley and Taos are burned into my memory as “uniquely unique”. BTW all those airports have user friendly transportation available for a ride...

Bird poop vs mashed bugs,,,don’t know which is worse.
In SOFLA you can bet we get our share of both.
This method may cause repetitive microtrauma unless fingers are added to the tool armamentarium. Believe those are USN enlisted aircrew wings. Is the device used by the USMC also? Is this a NATOPS approved proc? Are you a jarhead aircrew? (Some of my best friends are USMC enlisted...
