My plane had a prop overhaul many years ago by the previous owners. According to the log book they sent it to the MT service center in Florida (from WI) and MT sent them a loaner prop for the 2-3 months it took to do the overhaul. Both props were 3-blade. Maxwell is a MT authorized service center at...

I looked into this in 2019 for my 2003 DA40 when this was a MSB and posted at that time. My interconnect hoses were replaced in 2018 by the previous owners. The new AD caught my attention so I looked into it again. My logbook entry wasn't enough to tell me whether on not I had the affected interconn...

It was the Dukes pump that failed. I replaced it with a Weldon. I am not hearing any RF noise. I got a discount for sending in the Dukes core so I don't have a spare. I hope this one lasts.

I think it is much better without the wheel fairing. I didn’t put mine back on this spring.

When I turn on my master switch before I start engine the voltage on my VM1000 reads 23.6 V. Does follo...

The replacement went fine but they were unable to reset the tach using the instructions. Each time they tried, t...

I think my Dukes fuel pump has failed. When I switched the pump on today there was no sound from the pump and the pump circuit breaker was out. I checked them all in before that as part of my preflight. I reset it and tried the pump switch again and again no pump sound and the circuit breaker again ...

I use AOPA (brokerage) too. When it came time to renew this year they let me know that my previous company was exiting the market. They recommended a new company and the new price was lower! So far so good.

Here's what it looks like. I used Modern Avionics at KFCM.

I bought my 2003 DA40 through AKC Aviation in Lake in the Hills, IL, just NW of Chicago. They were amazing to work with. Ask for Kent Seaver.
