Hello neighbor (I'm at KCMA Camerillo CA). I finally finished the annual. I'm now looking for CFI to get the required 10 hours training in type and model (112TC). For the insurance carrier.
I'm located at KCMA in Ventura Ca. I you could please refer me to any one you may know I would appreciate it.
I'm also in the market for a Redline Sidewinder. Thanks Tom cell 818 414 6680

Saw your floor in the landing light thread. It is awesome!
what type of material was installed? Self or hired?

hey Scott,

How is 527GT running? I saw you added new wing tip LEDs. Have you added anything else?

Unfortunately, yes, been on the ramp at KHEF since November, 2018. Sun Screens & gust locks in and, aside from the nose strut not holding gas, not too much worse for the time. Needs engine overhaul, probably would do prop overhaul now and annual. Can't speak for battery & tires (they were fairly new & tried to keep them inflated, but may need new rubber). My son lives in the area & has kept an eye on her.

Our 3-blade McCauley prop was overhauled November 2018. Over time we have noticed vibration in the plane slowly get worse. Had the prop dynamic balanced in January 2020, and still have vibration. Would any of you have other areas to check and investigate?

Fuel Pressure Gauge, part #1101-003, image attached, anyone have any idea where one can be purchased to replace ours? Thanks

Hey Scott -- I'm teamed up with a Tech grad this week at the FFA convention in Indy. He was KA. I did an informal "survey" of rudder bushings at the fly-in. Shook a lot of them to figure out whether mine needed replacement yet. I don't remember doing yours but we have quite a bit of variance in the fleet.

I've elected to let mine go another year or two. Jim can certainly sell you the kit. Tell Lendon hi too! k

hi.

Looked at your post.

Assuming your ATIS baro reading was +/- 1 hour old - using that the reading should be about 29" MAP.

Your JPI was showing 29.2" MAP - which is less than 1% error.
Your analog gage shows 27.8" MAP at the same time - it is analog and may be showing the value in error.


Now the Manifold pressure transducer in the JPI 830 is "good" but not bullet proof and primary spec like the JPI 900 or JPI 930.

So my view is

- take 3 different readings on different days with the engine off to see if your analog manifold pressure is gage is truly faulty.

Hi Scott - I also have a 114A. I'm curious about your Aviation WB app experience? I use ForeFlight for my WB calculations but would also like to have a second source to cross check. What was the cost to send them your POH and have them load the app specific to your plane? Thanks - Peter Boynton, Waitsfield, VT, N269W

Hi...couldn't find your cleaned instrument...what was the cost to have it done?? Thanks! Terry

Scott, tried to send a message earlier today, but not sure it got through. Anyway I saw the picture of you and your son in front of your Commander. I'm also an Aggie and looking to buy a Commander. I'm also in process of getting my PPL. If you had some to time to talk I'd like to get your thoughts on the Commander: pros & cons and recommendations. My number is 214-566-7800 and I'm in Dallas. Thanks, Kelly.

Happy birthday fellow commander owner!
Hope you get to fly today!
