Thanks, you’re right, I was getting all the information together for the AI so it would be easy on him. The question caught me off guard, thanks again !!!

I recently installed skyBeacon on my Wing tip, works great. Here’s my question. While filling out the paperwork it ask about how mans GPS units you have on board. I have a Garmin 196 and an iPad only, of course non TSOed, is it required to have a GPS now ? I have all the old school steam gauges they...

Thanks for the link, I’m restoring a C-150 and considering using then on it, I have a ways to go before I’m ready.

I recently had two Bendix mag overhauled ($2100) Oct 2019 they seem to be going strong again.
Before there was quite a bit of mag drop. I heard the new ones either work or not no warning.
But add a little more power. It’s up to you . OOW

The Big Dummy (me) finally figured it out, the bleeder is two pieces, I was trying to bleed them by loosing the sleeve and not the actual bleeder. Once the light came on I was able to get both sides with good brakes and good petals in less than 20 minutes. Of course I took everything apart and clean...

Does the bottom bleeder have a check valve in the fitting itself ??? For some reason I can’t push fluid through it either way.

Having similar problems, can’t push fluid up from bottom, even after I removed and cleaned bottom bleeder. Going to get a new oil can pump tomorrow, mine is about 10 years old it might be weak. Just in case wear did y’all find master cylinder rebuild parts / kits ???

Camera mount , I had one in my "48 C-170, I have 3 Flare launcher tubes in my '53 C-170

I've heard for the last 20-25 years that Bendix was a better mag than Slick. I just had my Bendix rebuilt put them back on in Oct. 2019.
I used QAA in Oklahoma 877-833-6948 , it cost $2150.00, they work great, they were about 10 years TBO. cant remember the hours.

Del, do you know where I might find Texas Taildragger kit for a Cessna 150 (1974) era ?
If this is not allowed on the 170 forum I understand . Thanks OOW

There is or was a Repair Station around DFW area in Texas, that did excellent work and gave you an education while repairs were being done.
Any one know or remember its name ?? Thanks in advance / OOW

I had to replace my 35 yr. old Sigtronics headsets, I went with Lightspeed Zulu-2's. Two surprises , first time the 2 AA batteries failed I suddenly heard the engine running , startled me for a moment until I figured out what had happened . You have to adjust the volume to about 50% or you get a chi...

10/4 on nice to have, I have the receiving units in my panel , if I can make them work I don't have to remove them. Thanks for all the information. OOW

That's what I was trying to figure out the gauges have no brand name of numbers on them , so I was going by what A/C Spruce has in their catalog , and it's called out in color of leads.

I'm trying to restore the EGT & CHT the wiring coming out of the back of both receiving units are black & white. A/C Spruce only list sending units with red/yellow or yellow/brown. Any advise or help greatly appreciated. OOW
