Just a tad too far for me even if I didn't have to route around some tall rocks.

I can see why.

Seven month followup: Since buying the plane in February it is now due for its second 25 hour oil change. For various reasons the plane wasn't flown much till about June. First oil change was July 10. The rate up to the first change was averaging ~60 hr/year. It took just two months to fly...

Such powers are written into the U.S. constitution: "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;" From time to time they get exercised.

Not sure what you already have for "learning by using" but G1000 simulators of unknown fidelity for existing PC flight simulators can be found online. A few of first hits using 'g1000 simulator fsx sr20' search terms: https://simgeneering.com/downloads/...

Further research lead me to the attached document from Whelen Aerospace which does a good job answering the question. It indicates something like a Whelen Orion 650 combo position/anti-collision light could be installed on the left wing, which would allow the rudder light to be removed. I have...

I'll be replacing the right (green) position light on my plane with a uAvionix skySensor, which acts as a green position light and optionally be wired in as a strobe light (in addition to acting as an ADS-B In receiver.) The tail already has a uAvionix tailBeaconX installed (see photo.) It acts...

I don't think experience with recovering from a conventional spin will provide any insight into recovery from a flat spin. All the aerodynamic controls become useless because there is little to no air flow over them. I recall reading of a flat spin recovery where a couple of pilots in a light...

Thanks for that background info - very helpful in explaining the price changes. In my case an alternator would be nice to have, not an essential purchase (such a replacing a dead alternator.)

Belated note: Aircraft Supply now shows double the price, making it comparable to other suppliers. But I got the print copy of Aircraft Spruce's catalog (printed sometime last year) and it shows the price for that alternator conversion at half the amount it is now. That is one hell of an...

Finished wrapping the control wheels a couple weeks ago. This is what the final result looks like.

Sight seeing?

Congratulations! Do they do any traditional rite like cutting off the tail of your shirt?

Here's one guy's debrief on what he believes happened.

These all appear to my layman eyes to be the same generator to alternator upgrades but the price differential between Aircraft Supply and the other two retailers is simply too large for me to believe they are selling the same thing...

Always kind of neat, in my opinion.

You mean these guys? https://dogcopilot.org/ If so, seems their "about" web page has some of that info (enough flying to transport 1000 animals a month.)

Some thoughts: Counterfeit auto parts are a fairly lucrative target market if my searches on "counterfeit auto parts accident statistics" are any indication. All the articles warn of their dangers, at least one claiming an epidemic of accidents, but did not provide a source for that claim and I...
