Re: rear seat shoulder harness

Thanks for grabbing those pics! That looks great, so easy to remove when not needed! Now I wonder why we see so little of this type. I believe this is factory?

Re: To-Do-Item #2 Parking Brake

Thanks, i thought so.

the other plug in my right master cylinder is actually drilled on the side at a 45deg just above the threads. the left plastic plug is yellow and slotted like you describe and i can't quite make out where it is vented. assume it is probably like what you mentioned.

Thanks guys, i'll be getting a few of the plastic ones from Spruce on my next order.

Re: Overhead Speaker

I believe he is referring to what was IN your plane when they rolled it off the line. 100s of planes don't have anything for a speaker. Heck they don't even have a radio. And there are a 100 other things I put ahead of this however I like having mine operational. Mostly because it was there and both...

Re: Overhead Speaker

Re: Horton STOL performance

That is similar to what i'm seeing for fuel burn too. i do see lower when i'm just cruising around which of course my FS450 is very handy for. i programmed mine to work with 37gal.
