I’m slow getting my conditional inspection done this year in part due to no availability of Aeroshell 6 for the prop hub. Does anyone have a source for 14 oz tubes or a good alternative? Everything ...

I just relocated to KAPA, Centennial in Denver, CO. I learned about high altitude takeoffs long ago, but was wondering if anyone has specific techniques for the RV-10 with an IO-540?

Thanks,
David, I found a Whelen power supply on eBay for a great price yesterday so am going to give that a try.

I have a Strobes N More Pro 606 power supply driving my strobe lights and it has been working great, but the power supply connector has become loose after 16 years and is intermittent. I'm not su ...

SureFly sounds like a good option but I now understand it too requires a power supply. I like the simplicity of a magneto as my backup ignition given one electronic ignition provides about 95% of the ...

I had a similar experience. After a kickback my initial starter sheared the protective shaft killing the start. I sent it in to upgrade to the high torque starter with kickback reset so that won’t ...

Thanks again for all of the guidance.

Turns out a 7/16” hose works quite well. I should have tried the drill but honestly forgot in the heat of the moment.

My borescope is poor and gave up o ...

Tim,

Thanks again for the info. Unfortunately by work environment is poor at best so I’m hoping to minimize trips to the airplane. Lazy question, but any chance you recall what size tubing you go ...

Thanks Tim!

As always you are a wealth of helpful information.

I have a clear leak in one of my exhaust valves while doing a compression check. The odd thing is I seem to have normal power and the temperatures are all consistent with the other cylinders. Just c ...

Sorry for the delay, my account dropped out for some reason. I did talk to Don and he was an immense amount of help.
Thanks,
