Re: Seat covers
I've been very happy with my sheepskins from Aerosheep.
Comfortable in hot or cold weather.

Re: MT Propellers
Even with the blue knob all the way out the prop goes to full flat at idle throttle setting as I don't have the feathering or reversing option installed like you might find on a turbo-prop.
That is an available option on these propellers though.

Re: MT Propellers
It goes full flat the instant you pull power to idle. Both the 2 & 3 blade - maybe a little more braking effect with the 3 than the 2 blade but both are quite dramatic as a speed brake.

MT Propellers
It was requested in another thread that I report on the MT propeller I have mounted on my O360 powered 170B. The airplane had a 2 blade MT when I purchased it last July and flew it down from Anchorage to Washington state. Soon after getting back home, after an epic 3 day journey through Alaska and d...

Re: How Many GA Hours in 2016?
Since picking up my new to me 170B in Anchorage in July I've put 100 hours on her - airplane camping, gravel bar hopping, pumpkin bombing and flying all over the pacific northwest. And I'm only home 2 weeks per month to fly her. What a pleasure this airplane is to fly with the O360, constant speed 3...

Re: Paint Shops in the Northwest?
Hello Mike! That is the shop doing my conversion and where you would be picking up the engine. They have an excellent painter there and would make quick work of removing the wings for the paint booth. They have proper stands and cradles available to do it right. Still planning on removing it when I ...
