Dave, Thanks for the interest. Zero hours in 2021. My 2020 was clobbered by work and fortunately 2021 has followed suit. Not everyone has that...

Who does your condition inspections? What do they think?

All my plane has is that strike plate shown in your diagram. I’ve seen planes with a little stainless angle applied as a dent guard for the latch but...

.090 acrylic is what my windows and skylights are made of. Screw holes are melted using a piece of copper tube the the tip sharpened on a bench...

I’m not sure what other guys are trying to access with a couple of these pics. If the access panel is below the bottom of the instrument panel you’ll...

You must not have read the thread. Or a half dozen before where the same guys say the same things. No matter. I’m done.

I’ve used In with a GDL39-3D for several years. Compared to my Cub that also has Out service? The traffic component of ADS-B is better in the Cub....

The “staring at a screen” comment is tired rhetoric and the basis of my post that the ADS-B critics haven’t used it.

You? Have you had it and removed it? I’m curious how many have had it and removed it?

As usual I’m betting ADS-B’s biggest critics don’t have experience with it. Having ADS-B Out improves ABS-B In. Do some research about being an ADS-B...

Not too difficult if you’re motivated. I added a rectangular inspection opening inboard of my selected pitot mast position in the leading edge metal....

Garmin’s is a true AOA. I don’t know about Dynon’s probe. https://www.flyingmag.com/how-it-works-angle-attack-indicator/

I had to run a new pitot line to the probe. Static didn’t change. I needed access to the ADHRS unit behind the panel. That was the worst part. I’d...

It cost me $199 and a few hours of my labor to add a GAP-26 probe to my G3X. I haven't calibrated it yet but I look forward to playing with it. For...

I always look at the top cowl angle on Cubs in 3-point. Mine is on 6” gear and 35s and the top cowl is essentially level, so the nose bowl top line...

It sounds like you’d like a lowered mount. Of course that requires a new cowl, too, but you wouldn’t be the first guy to take that project on.

In a nutshell. Pstol flaps are a great mod. Slats are a great mod. Long Pstol flaps are pure magic in combination with slats. I can’t speak to slats...

I like the idea of an overhead flap handle and push rods. I’ve never seen one up close. My own flaps have been a work in progress.

I can (and do) pull three notches pretty easily but the fourth would be very awkward. Not so bad on final but too much distraction for takeoff....

I think 20-40-60 would work fine as long as your handle angle allows you to pull the third notch. I’ve heard stock length flaps don’t require too...

I have 15, 30, 45, and 60°. I have room to go more but the flap handle angle isn’t easy to pull to 60°, let alone past 60° (112” flaps). My original...
