Re: Instrument Panel Upgrade

Don't know if I ever mentioned it, but FAA/PMA cat food cans can make great bezels, and you can feed the neighbors cats.

Re: Where to buy or repair Cessna cluster gauges?

Mine is an 1966 F model. I have the airplane gutted now and can at least see the wires and probes, saving the troubleshooting for another night.

Re: L.E.D. Navigation/Strobes/Interior Lights

Can anybody point me to where I can buy or have repaired my Cessna cluster gauges? In my newly purchased 210, my cluster gauges are a mess. The oil temperature needs tapped to work, the amp meter gauge is intermittent, and both fuel gauges don't work. (Could be sending units too) At any rate, I need...

Re: HD video made from 170B

Not sure which version it was, I will have to ask. (it was a friends) We used the suction cup, but he also had a little plastic mount with some super sticky pad on it that could be used for a more semi-permanent mounting.

I think some other factors are the light sport category, cost of gas increasing average age of pilot group. I recently sold a home built cub, and the calls/bidding on the aircraft was amazing.
