It worth noting that the carpet is better then half the weight of the vinyl, 4.5 lbs as opposed to close to 10 lbs for the vinyl and its the "little" savings that add up to something much bigger in time.

To be clear the Bartone pipes are cool and offer the advantages previously identified. However after some due diligence from an earlier consider of their use offer no significant engine performance increase or proposed to offer what a Powerflow or Vetterman can do. Unfortunately neither of these two...

How would the seat belt work in the case of sitting in the "middle" of the bench. The obvious advantage of a single seat is weight and space for "long loads" like say skis.

Does anyone have a source for original instrument bezels or a bunch squirreled away they might be interested in parting with for the right amount of incentive

Are you "searching" for a repository for it !!!

I've heard tell of an electric rudder trim STC, can anyone substantiate this or is it just an urban myth

Sold, send us a picture when you pick it up !!!!!!!!

All of the above, plus I think there kind of cool and unique

Do the peddles in the 180/185 stow in some manor

Has anyone heard tell of the L19 folding/stow-able rudder pedals being installed in a 170

I'd keep an eye on this product, it's currently experimental but soon to be certified. It offers a very nostalgic look, built in AOA indicator along with the other "mundane" guidance we need from time to time !!!

You can add myself to the growing list of "interested" persons in a set of these. Cheers

Can anyone offer their personal experience with the various fuel flow monitoring systems that exist in the market place for a carb equipped 0-300.

Cheers,

I stand by my original thought, the empty weight only will negate any benefit on a 170 and as pointed out above only increase the possibility of an overweight issue. A quick look around the various supplier indicates empty pod weights upwards of 50-70 lbs depending on methods and material used in it...

Just do the research, the pod alone is in the 50 lbs range empty and that comes straight off your max allowable weight for every flight not just when its in use. The options I went with might have added 10-15 lbs to the air-frame, I can check the weight report if you'd like some better numbers for y...
