    Nulite (or other) in front of panel (behind overlay)

    Hi, I would like to add lighting to my 6 pack but don't feel like having it done from behind. I have a PA-28 so the panel has a plastic overlay. Nulite's website says it can be installed like that. I would like to see pictures with the Nulite in front, instrument not recessed. Thanks

    Scissor jack

    Hi, So it might sound stupid, but I was wondering if anyone has ever had any luck with using a scissor jack to change a tire or tube on an aircraft such as a PA-28 or similar. Thinking of the jack being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the plane, wouldn't it be stable enough? I've seen the...

    Distance estimation during VFR flight
