Isn't the new top deck and balanced tail feathers what Piper did to make a J-3 into a PA18? Just sayin' . . . . Web

This is auto pilot 101. You MUST be able to overcome an engaged servo. As frequent_flyer brought up, if an uncontrolled action happens (any movement...

But can you get the cat to wear them? Web

DMC seems to always be the gold standard even if expensive. If you don't want to pay their prices, I'm sure there are equivalent models out there....

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but some 'mods' just scream out for the owner to buy the airplane that he's trying fabricate. Web

I don't like to use butt splices but when I do . . . . Here is a pic that shows an example splice and the crimper for it. These are the best butt...

My opinion here, but I think the harder an engine works the better they wear. Short calendar time between TBO seems to equal less repairs. Web

But how much calendar time in each TBO? Web

Need to ask around. Very subjective, to say the least. Web

It's in McCarthy. You don't need to like people. lol Web

How would the pressure change? I.e., if there was 1/2 psi air, pushing fuel out of both tanks, down to the selector valve (set on 'both' for this...

You've missed the point. The guys from the sign don't really want the advice, they want you to affirm that THEIR way is the best. And, by the way,...

Any time you get strands breaking at a connection, it's an indication of bad technique. In this case soldering a connection where there is to much...

How were the wires spliced? Any pics? Web

Nothing illegal about that, that I can figure, but I'd want the pressure altitude displayed. If for nothing else, to keep tabs on what's being...

Like this? Web

You want the altitude to be sent out but you don't want it to display? Web

Have you tried turning the selector to 'ON' instead of 'ALT'? 'ON' is mode A (just the code) and 'ALT' is mode C (code plus pressure altitude). ...

Mock up with a tag board 'instrument'. It lets you visualize locations. Web

You should be able to measure or mock something up. If you stay away from the very center of the panel it should fit most places. Web

Model number? Web

I'm always hanging around. Just give me a shout. I can draw it up or wire it for you. Web

In a nutshell, each china hat operates relays to control trim motors. If you use separate breakers for power supply to each china hat, the pilot can...
