Re: Gear Checkvalve Aircraft flown this morning after spending evening in warm hanger. No issues, no gear transition burps. After night in cold hanger before this, seem to get burps every time. I think there may be water in hydraulic lines (possible ice) - will replace all fluid. Is there a...

Re: Gear Checkvalve Craig - I think we did flush the system after replacing with the Aerospace PP. We did make sure to use Aerospace and not Kelly - I know this issue came up and we saw the Kelly issues. Yesterday, after replacing the nose up switch which was already on our list (these...

Re: Gear Checkvalve We have the plane on jacks now and will see if it sags overnight. Again, the last time we put the gear up it has become rock solid. This reflects what it is doing on test flights - perfect for a bit and then the transition light. During the past weeks we have capped off...

Re: Gear Checkvalve Just now, we cycled gear again and all gear is up and not sagging - can hang on main left gear and it does not sag at all. What is going on? During past few days, after adjusting nose gear up switch, first test flights were perfect. The third flight of the day produced...

Re: Gear Checkvalve I have SN 101 and have been fighting gear gremlins for 14 months. I'm bout had it :) After replacing all springs, nose axle, power pack, numerous switches, and all else - I was getting the transition light in flight. On jacks today, left main is now sagging (had not done...

Re: Flap Gap and Aileron Seals I need to replace the simple aileron gap tape. Anyone have a suggestion for this product? I see 3m in this thread - can this be bought on ground easily or is this an online vendor purchase item. If so, where would you recommend?

Re: Flying into Telluride I've flown into Telluride three times but in a 182 with the Continental 310 hp stc. We flew right over the 14K peaks at 16,500 direct from Alamosa VOR. I have no mountain training and as such made sure the winds aloft were less than 15 knots. The regional airlines...

Re: Service Kits Thanks for the muffler that I purchased from you in March. My cabin heat is so much better now and the flame screen is still in place like it should be :). You pack the best shipping box I've ever seen! My mechanic and I love your kits. Makes life so easy.

Re: Fuel & Oil lines I will check those as well. Thanks.

Re: Fuel & Oil lines Thanks so much guys. I will do a quick check at local suppliers. This annual has been one for the ages. So excited about the new three blade and then Jim answered the call when we had a broken muffler. Needed a second overhauled alternator when the first was...

Re: Fuel & Oil lines - WELL NUT Re: Fuel & Oil lines - WELL NUT Does anyone know where I can find 10S well nuts (00613). I need four of them to secure the fuel line from the tank to the first sump. We are resealing the tanks and inspecting the fuel lines as well.

Re: 2012 COG Annual Fly-in I live 50 miles south of French Lick. Fly up there for an excellent Breakfast all the time. Huge water park up the hill across from the hotels. West Baden has the 210' dome and I was in a room there two weeks ago. Incredible place. My favorite restaurant is...

Re: Bahama Laid Back Spots - Recommendation Thanks, thanks, thanks! I wish you guys would come with me!!!!!!! I hope to fly from Western Kentucky to Fort Pierce with a fuel stop in Georgia next Wednesday. I certainly have been doing some checks on the 300 hour engine that is in 39J. I might...

Re: Bahama Laid Back Spots - Recommendation I thought that I would go there for departure and back. Thanks for the encouragement.

Re: Bahama Laid Back Spots - Recommendation Thank you so much! I'm a bit overwhelmed about this trip because of the hassels but you have made it much easier with these recommendations!!!!!!!! I really appreciate it!
