Re: ADS-B Rebate re-introduced and tailBeacon info

I just recently scheduled my plane for the GDL82 and was quoted about 2500.00 installed. Now I am going to try for the new rebate as an additional credit.

I have drilled 2 small holes for sheet metal screws and then pulled the seal.

Great story. It is great when people have exclusive trust in others such as you have earned.

Re: Auto Valve oil drain valve

My thoughts when I replaced my o-ring was that it was a square type o-ring. I replaced with a special oil round o-ring.

Re: Personal Locator Beacons

I have an ACR older unit and never had to use it. I register every couple years when I am notified to re-register it from SARSAT.

I love these stories because it is hard to duplicate these trips in the east. Another 170 on the rolls.

Re: '48 Fuel pump one way valve

This is how my valve has been ever since I know. I will see if I can find my extra valve I bought years ago and bring it to the convention.
Had to edit the Fuel Pressure gauge line. I have the valve for reference. Thanks Gary for my lack of attention.

Re: Helio -Coil

You can shorten heli-coils. You just want a couple coils to hold. We use them a lot.

Re: Heating a garage or hanger

Just pile the ash outside for when we get icy, frozen snow and use the ash for traction. It is just as good as sand.
Yes, I agree that coal or wood stoves are great but take time to start.

Re: Fixing an unusual cabin heat mod

I found on my 48 the hose between the firewall and inside next baffle was broken and had little heat. It is a short jumper. I have the scoop on the front engine baffle.
