Re: Switching to Dual Cue FD in G1000

Be sure to get lots of practice with the duel cue. Once you learn it you won't want to go back.

Re: Looking for a DA40 to Sit in

Look for a Diamond with the taller canopy. A buddy of mine flew one and he was pretty tall. He would remove the seat cushion and sit on something thinner. A custom cushion may be in order. When you sit in one try that.

Re: Steam DA40 to Glass

I will look again at your post when I have time but in my opinion the steam gage airplanes are a great choice. You can upgrade them however you want and they are lighter with better Cg. It’s a good choice

Re: Interior trim peeling off

I never found a way to remove the glue that seemed to be all over the place. I ended up matching the interior paint and just repainting the inside. It was very easy and took maybe an hour at most. Do this when the seats are removed for maintenance. Since the interior is textured I just repainted wit...

Re: Engine overhaul time - Lycoming IO-360-M1A

You said they used "gasket maker" on the governor. Can you expand on this? Could this be interfering with obtaining proper torque?

Re: Jet shades installation

I just bought some static cling window tint film and cut them out myself. A little water soapy water and a squeegee to apply them. They will have bubbles at first but they will soon disappear. I applied them maybe 10 years ago and they have been perfect ever since.

Re: Insurance vs. age

A while back I added a 76 year old pilot to my policy. They didn’t want to touch him despite his 15 or so type ratings and 24,000 hours.

I finally was able to convince them if I agreed to have him get 10 hours in type. It was maybe a 10 percent increase

Re: Potential source of Lean of Peak fuel flow imbalance

I replaced mine troubleshooting my SIM4N issues (in the end went back to mag and flying great). Just make sure the A&P torqued the fuel lines, as mine did not, the main fuel line to the spider was hanging by two threads, MIF. Brilliant. Did you take this up with him? He's trying to kill you.

Re: Diamond Pilots association

Anyone have a link? Isn’t the current board we are talking on pretty much the same as a Diamond Pilot’s Association?
