If it helps I can measure my Avid this weekend. Knowing this group I'm willing to bet edmo or jim chuck willing have the answer or where to find it

Man thats cool ! I'm not really into gadgets and tech stuff but I might have to get one . I can get the Top gun soundtrack playing and pretend I'm in a f-14 hahaaa . Who wants to be my Iceman ? Robb can you make me a speedo tach type deal for my motorcycle or is that something that can't be done ? I ride a bare bones Kawasaki bobber no front brake and suicide shift . It's done up old school and the tank was pinstriped by my buddy . I could figure out somewhere to hide if haha . Om enough non airplane talk I got to excited over electronics for once .

I just replaced mine . Lockwood aviation has them . I had to trim of the ear I wasn't using but they were exact .

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed! The hosting fees are coming due and of course, do to the amount of traffic we have and the storage that we use, they upped the rates on me again.. oh well, the growth and additional members and pictures is well worth it to me!
I just sent you something through PayPal. Thank you for the site and everyone here that answers my sometimes brain fart questions.

Never hurts to have a mechanical pump running full time and use the electric as backup

I am planning on building myself a new nose gear . Once I do one I can duplicate them all day . Mine has a little lean in it from the previous owner.

Did mine on the belly on every aircraft I've owned .

My part number for my solenoid shows its from a lawnmower. I have zero starting issues and the replacement is $15.00

That smart saw could be a money making toy. Wonder what the build cost is for it amd how computer friendly you have to be?

Vg's on the bottom of the wing gives faster cruise? Please do tell I never used vg's on my planes but going faster will make me interested
Just noticed this thread is from 2011. Guess I should get around to installing the VGs.... Extending the elevator to MK4 dimensions and adding electric pitch trim was probably the single best mod I've done since this era of the evolution of #279.
It's been so long, I have forgotten whether you are going to put them on top for slow flight or bottom of the wing for faster cruise ?
Well, when you finish tanning in the sand, maybe we will find out.

I'll rob my piggy bank and see if I can get some of my computer savvy friends to come up with a rx and tx thats cheaper if I have to .

Hat's off to both of you for building those . My generation is all about computers except me. I could never get my brain to wrap around computer type stuff . My brother on the other hand builds all kinds of transmitter type stuff , maybe I could ask him about trying a bootleg transmitter?

I know 3CW (Wyatt) is planning on going after we meet up and swap cowls . I'll mention it to him . I wish I could go but I got some work to do .

I might have to fly over and see what you have one of these days.

Someone needs to make the transmitter and undercut the market then.

Since I'm electronically handicapped is this all you need to be legal? I'm planning on holding out but if this gets me in compliance I have a tablet that collects dust and could use it . Either way I'm still not rushing to do this on a plane that would barely get 10k

Hey wasn't that a mk4? What ever happened with your wheel pants and extra parts you had in your hanger?

You're exactly right on that . I'll never grow up that's for sure .

I've dodged that stuff so far . Came close being impaled by a handlebar coming up short on a ramp . Mostly limbs and my head took the abuse .

I'm trying to enjoy it but so far my left side has had 5 surgeries alone and counting . In 40 years I'll be happy to just be able to walk.
-
I hear of good deals but whenever they're around I don't have the cash for them . I guess that's what happens when you have a wife and 2 daughters haha. Either way I enjoy finding people good deals . I think I'm even the youngest at the airport . (36)

One down here for a grand . Never finished but the wings look bad from being built and never covered
-
Haha I was kidding. There's a Rans s6 someone told me about for cheeeaaap . Just not sure I wanna build anything right now. I have enough going on between my avid and cutlass

If it's free It's for me hahahaa.

Send me your number again . I got a new phone and lost some contacts . I'm always at webster swap meet and guys are getting crazy now with the gadgets and there bikes . Could be something to definitely look into doing.
