I’ve had my boot cowl sides off better than a half dozen times to work on or add things to the G3X.

It’s on a sheet metal mount that bridges two ribs, and yes, I have an inspection cover on the top of the wing.

Mine's about 5' inboard of the right wingtip. My magnetometer favors the aft spar and the wires are routed on the forward spar. No issues with...

Good business practice? Absolutely. Freight is an expense. It costs money to process. A business needs to mark it up to cover costs. What I don't...

Carefully bend the ears to open them up a teensy bit. Mine were too Effing tight, too.

I touch up using the same Imron or Aerothane used for the plane. Just make sure you use fresh catalyst. The paint never goes bad. I use paint dabbers...

Other way around. Into the perimeter and returns through the center. Without the backflow preventer all the filtered particles could return to the...
