I also have one I purchased a number of months ago - will be using to look inside during annual. We use it around the shop for looking for leaks, etc in hard to reach areas (auto). Just a note - if you use the mirror attachment, tape it and don't rely on the retainer clip to hold it into place. It h...

Thanks for all the great replies. A wealth of different opinions as well as information. I guess I should have clarified that I do have a Carb Temp Gauge in the plane. Also, I am very aware of the cause and effects of carb ice in carburetors having been working as an auto mechanic for the past 30 ye...

With winter approaching, I have a question on the "proper" use of carb heat. What I "used" to do was pull the carb heat about every 15 minutes and run it that way for a couple of minutes and then push it back in. This did not seem correct. What I am doing now is when I level off ...

I've been running 8.50 x 6 with the single puck and seems to work just fine.

Just want to send a huge thanks to Dan Wood for taking the time out of his day, fighting the traffic in Atlanta, picking me up, and flyng me to breakfast. Awesome plane Dan! Now I know what it is like to fly fast in a 170 :D :D We flew to Peachstate and had a great breakfast. This is a neat little a...

I am about 1350 a year through Avemco with 45k hull and 1,000000 liability. And they cover with or with out skis and on grass strips without having a rider. And I am also a low timer.

Thanks Keith;

Sounds interesting. I may just check that out.

I have a meeting in Atlanta that ends Friday evening, but my flight out isn't until Saturday at 5:40 p.m. Any suggestions of things to do in Atlanta or is anyone interested in taking a fellow member for a scenic flight (gladly help on fuel, etc -not looking for a free ride).

Please let me know,

Paul

Just sent you a Paypal order for one.

Thanks,

Paul

Ok - now I need to post a picture of "the beast" Rebel on serious guard duty. 120# of pure Chesapeake loving. This was taken shortly after I bought 58D and before I moved into my new hanger.

Cool video - really enjoyed the scenery. Makes me want to take a trip back to Oregon. By the way, I had no problem watching this and had no messages (I use IE 6.0 with AVG). Thanks for sharing. I liked the camera mounted at the top of the wing strut. Bet you can get some awesome videos that way. Paul

I mounted mine on the front "skirt" of the co-pilots seat. Easy enough for me to reach yet out of the way.

I disconnected mine last fall - I "assumed" it was already disconnected and found out it wasn't. I could actually feel the brake (left) engage and lock turning hard base to final. Maybe sloppy rudder work on my part but a quick tap would release it. My IA had no problem with me disconnecti...

This spring has been frustrating, hasn't it John? Everytime I want to go somewhere, bad weather. Everytime weather is good - work gets in the way. Oh well.....
