Sue, Dave T, Melodie and I around 3 on Friday I guesstimate.

BTW the top cabin door and nacelle doors are bigger challenges that I have not yet tackled.

$29.68 from Amazon for both front baggage doors. Had to enlarge two holes for the ball studs. Took 30 minutes. I’m sure you can find an STC for 1 AMU or so if you prefer.

and potential gear up landings…

.flying in Friday morning. We’ll leave Saturday after air show

AMAZING

Sitting in Lincoln City, IN. Minutes away from totality. Sky clear.

I look for a chance to get into imc with my instrument students. The common comment after is that it’s not like the foggles at all. My 172 has G5s on the left side so it can be a little stressful and my neck ends up sore, but it’s worth it for the student. I’ll ask ATC for a block altitude if...

Well I’ll play the contrarian here. I love my two turbos. One turbo failure in 7 years of flying my 414 I admit I wasn’t happy about, but OTOH I’ve seen every other make and model in shops with broken stuff too. I see the limited advantage in non-pressurized planes, e.g. Navaho, 310, etc. Use...

Then fly lower. That’s the advantage of the turbo. Pilot can fly low or high.

A turbo adds some complications and potential costs. OTOH being able to fly higher let’s you take advantage of some nice tail winds, can get you over weather and offers higher TAS. If fuel controller is set up properly, there’s nothing difficult to operating a turbo. I’ve been operating two...

Well….I was laying over on a Hawker trip in Ft Lauderdale once and the other pilot and I took him out to dinner. Meh. Totally dullsville. Maybe he was having an off day.

I have two bad terrain cards. Ran them both through this app today and then was able to update them in the Garmin manager. Great I said. Then I put them into their two 530Ws. Guess what. The cards weren’t recognized. Back on the phone to Garmin tomorrow. Sigh.

I have a Teslong model TD500.

I'm one of the lemmings too, I suppose. Phillips XC 20W-50 and CamGuard in my TSIO520NBs.

Sue really can’t do the walk from Lodge to cabins, so I really appreciate you guys driving that help out in this regard. A big thank you.

100% agree.

The one labeled 123023-1 is from my Teslong. The other is from my Vividia 400. I think the color is much truer on the Teslong and the clarity better.

Reservations made in the lodge for Sue and me. DaveT?

We bought a wrecked 172 for $19,000. Had that engine overhauled so we could do a quick swap (plane was out of service only 3 days) and sold off about everything else. The overhaul was $30,000.
