Sad to see your airplane for sale Mike, ! I wanted to fly down to Sun-n-Fun with you someday ( in formation) and meet up with John Wright!

Hi. I'm going to create my own spreadsheet to track AD's as well as normal time or hour maintenance inspection requirements. Would you care to send your spreadsheet so I don't have to start from scratch?

Thanks you for the welcome, I have not landed at dauphin island yet, but plan too as my in laws have a house there. I have only had 1340j a couple of months and so far really like her. Glad to know there are a couple people not far from me as I am sure questions will come up and even tho the annual is not due until May of 2020 I am already thinking and hoping there is someone not far from me who could do it, as I gather from looking around in here that it would be best to find someone familiar with the commanders and nobody at KCQF fits the description. I am working on my instrument rating and will be doing some cross country work and perhaps I will drop in your way to say hello one day. Hope this message finds you as I could not figure out how to reply to your message directly? Thanks again and I will certainly be asking some question...

Michael
My engine had a rough plug that I cleared a few weeks ago for business trip but just went today for a cruise and on run-up roughness still there on run-up so canceled flight.
Could I ask what is the Tempest plug # & did you change them out yourself? DId you get them from Aircraft Spruce, could I ask what they cost?
As you said, piece of mind is worth a lot!
Thanks
John

Is that shaded glass in your plane? Very nice looking. With your old avatar, I wasn't sure that's what I was seeing, but that really looks good. How is the visibility out on overcast days or in the evening?

Mike, engine was rebuilt in 2002, with a total of under 600 hours. At about 260 hours someone replaced all the cylinders/and put in brass piston pin end caps. no issues since then until last November when metal found in filter. Pulled #2 cylinder, found spalling on lower shell bearing. Please reply to peter.schuttinga@gmail.com

Sorry, just found this, No wasn't me. Just the one time for your gathering.

just wanted to say thanks for the great fly in last sat. enjoyed meeting some nice people and enjoyed some good food. hope to talk with you again.

Mike, I just wanted to say I didn't know you were so close to me. I'm based out of KFYE in Sommerville TN which is only 88NM. My Commander is a 1975 112A SN 305. If you need any help on your Commander I'm also a A&P and do all my own work on my Commander. I know the ACFT fairly well. Drop me a line sometime if you would like too meet up. I'm also a EX Airforce Mechanic. I was a crewchief on KC135's and got out in 1996! Just thought I would say hello and introduce myself.
