After stripping my prop I was surprised to see all the ugly machining marks that were left by the factory and hidden with paint. After spending twelve hours+ sanding and then polishing I will stand behind the fact that it is more airworthy now, but it would be hard to argue. I will fly my polished p...

Since metal wheel pants are so expensive I'd keep in mind the cosmetics. If you are not a sheetmetal person, I'd find someone who is. If you have a nice airplane and a nice pair of pants it'll be worth it.

I never buy tires at the lumberyard.

Frank,

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will send you a digital picture of the installation.

Sometimes they are easier to find in pairs. I need a RH, if you find a pair and would be happy with the LH. I might also have a source.

There are so many places that you are defficient that you must first fix those before we diagnose your problem. You may not have a problem or you may have a bigger problem than you think based upon the poor set up of the engine. If the engine isn't running efficiently it will not produce power. Then...

They clip into tiedown rings that clip into the seat track. Which is a good question, because they don't come with the kit. You can buy the clip style seat belts from AC Spruce for 60 bucks each.

Last I checked they were $1050 for the pair. It will cost you another $1000 by the time you install them and put on very simple upholstery. They do require quite a bit of labor for a first time installer and they do not come with upholstery. The quality is good and I have enjoyed the ones I've insta...

As most of us, if I would start visiting the salad bar a little it would only mean 2 gallons of gas. I need to see a loss of 15 at least.

I weighed my airplane last June after doing a lot of mods and stripping it and it came in at 1264 lbs. Since then I have done a few items like a Pilot III GPS and Cargo Tiedowns that weigh in at around 3 lbs bringing the total to 1267. Yesterday I weighed the airplane after being painted and it came...
