I don't think my legs are short and they certainly aren't fat. Still cursed the PA-18-180 flap handle a few times when I found left stick blocked in a crosswind landing. I now prefer the high left...

Sounds very similar to a standard CubCrafters installation. Why wouldn't it be "acceptable".

If I were selling an aircraft with controls at 2 seats I would allow a potential purchaser to fly from either seat as long as I was in the other seat. I would not allow someone to fly a single seat...

Which one do you like better?

Possible explanations:

1. There is excessive flow restriction in the left sight gauge or its feed tubes
2. There is unsufficient flow restriction in the right...

I doubt it was the pilot who was the lead instigator and I doubt that anyone not directly involved will remember the pilot's name in a couple of weeks. People will remember that a Red Bull aircraft...

Perhaps because it removes any wax not because it hurts the paint?

My bet for the second one is a Grove 35 series.

Well my bet for this one is Cleveland 30-52.

Did the shimmy start when you fitted the tail ski?

What in 14 CFR part 43 says that the inspection must be uninterrupted and all conducted in the same location?

Did the accident/incident report show an NTSB reportable event? There are probably many events that should have been reported to NTSB but which were not reported.

Even if the event is in the...

Tire marks were left on the white surface of the ramp that covered the railing. I'll guess that's about 2 feet short of target. The added ramp was in two parts and the white boards are the outer...

Better camera angles in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXmGoQi670c&ab_channel=MikePatey

It seems the planned mains contact was between the ramp and the white circle and that's where...

The un-prepared helipad appears to be surrounded by a low level railing. Some early video showed the gap between the helipad and the rail covered with un-painted plywood. Later video shows this ramp...

Short landings are easy if the wind speed is close to approach speed. The helipad landing had to be attempted with light wind to avoid tubulence from the building. Not something I would have...

Long and rather tedious video provides some detail the modifications -

Some of the changes -
Relocated fuel tank moved fuel...

Some Garmin units have WiFi connectivity and some do not. Check for that capability when deciding what to put in the front panel.

I have little interest in putting any displays in the rear of...

Perhaps it would help if you said what your iPad was actually connected to. A GPS receiver will provide nothing except information about your own aircraft's position and movement. If traffic...

This link may give some insight into integral fuel tank leaks. The second video of the Mooney leaks puts the Op's problem into perspective.

Sometimes the obvious doesn't seem obvious without the wisdom of hindsight. 2 killed in a midair between a Robinson and a PA-28 at KCHD about 2 years ago. Overlapping traffic patterns had worked...

Not required but is recommended. May I suggest a review of Chapter 3 of the "Airplane Flying Handbook" which includes a description of the "integrated" or "composite" method of flight instruction....

Perhaps there ought to be a very prominent SARCASM emoji. His meaning was clear to me.

The iPad has no built in capability to receive a transponder, 1090 ES, or UAT. It must rely on some other hardware receiver, not just an app, to display any traffic.

A mode C transponder...

I found it surprising that the commentator suggested ADS-B In for the seaplanes but did not strongly suggest they should have a VHF radio.

I'm not saying radio would have prevented the accident...

Unthreaded filler tubes are available NOS and used on eBay. I didn't find one as short as shown in the orginal post but they should be easy to shorten to taste. E.g.
