    First post/question

    I have a 140 /180.. and when applying the Bold Warrior STC, it required a new air speed indicator, that was the same as the one used in 180's. so I purchased a new True Airspeed Indicator from MidContinent Instruments in So Cal. #8100-B.154. They added the airspeed markings to match the STC...

    Challenger (K&N) Airfilter - is it worth the expense?

    I still have the same K&N filter... washed it about 8 times since posting before, and it just keeps working. No additional expense over those 4 years other than time and degreaser as I still have the same can of filter oil.... Will keep using it!...

    Whelen Parmethius Landing/ Taxi Light

    I have a 140 and planning on installing the new Knots2U extended wing tips this year. Longer wing span, lower stall speed, less wing tip drag, and added lights. All things that are an improvement. Will also need to have the rudder fairing kit, and will extend the stab using the Stab tips form...

    In need of an Arm Rest

    Thanks @Merrill Gardiner I will get a photo of it later today and let's see if they are the same... I think all the 140's had the same part number based on the parts book.

    In need of an Arm Rest

    So it was made known yesterday that when closing the door in a cold aircraft, maybe 20ish deg F, that the 57 year old plastic arm rest when pulled on may not have the strength that is once had. The center section snapped off... so with the engine having been properly pre-heated, and the door...

    Safety wiring procedures

    Grounding your aircraft while fueling

    I have always found this interesting, cars / trucks are on rubber tires, and not "grounded" when filling the tank... same as our aircraft... they move through the air, and just like stated, moving in and out of the vehicle can generate static electricity... so way not "ground" them the same as...

    Winterization plate.

    Source for Saratoga Outer Fuel Cell Bladder Replacement or Repair

    The company that I work for builds the MQ-9 aircraft... we use bladders in the fuselage and wings, and find that there are always issues with them.... switching across manufactures and all about the same. When we designed and built the external fuel pods, manufacturing pushed hard for a wet...
