Thanks to everyone for the contacts. I will start calling them on Monday. Before I send the altimeter out though, I'm going to take it up and cross check it (without connecting to the static system) against the certified altimeter. If it tracks the same as the new one up to 10K, then the new one wil...

Static System Testing, Altimeter woes
I just had a static system, transponder certification done yesterday on 78C. After all of the leaks were isolated, there was still a significant leak in the system. I’m pretty bummed that the source of the leak was isolated to the (original) altimeter :( . Although the altimeter is still accurate ...

Since the topic of bleeding brakes has come up, I thought I would pass on a painless way to accomplish this task that I have found very simple and almost fun to do. What’s better is that you can do it by yourself, no contorting around the master cylinders with 5606 and there’s virtually no mess....

Bruce, I think you will find the brackets (inboard side) for the wheel pants are more difficult to find than the pants. They will require some fitting to clear the calipers on the clevelands. Alot of fitting if you have the double pucks. Also the axle nuts to accomodate the pants can be challenging ...

The very quick thinking mechanic/pilot had both of them kick the windshield out and then convinced the passenger to climb out and replace the weight of the engine with his body. Joe, I heard that story too. :roll: Just prior to the prop/engine departing their company, I understand the pilot leaned ...

All right Joe, now you know that’s not how it all really went down….but I admit, your version does make a better story. You know, when you ask someone if they hear a “rattle†one would think about a pair of shades or a set of keys in the glovebox or something trivial like that. It wouldn’t...
