  1. That would convince me not to buy one. Factory support is an important factor when they are asking 275 grand for a new aircraft.
  2. I hear you 100%. I have just never heard of an insurance claim being denied because someone installed a 345 transponder instead of an approved 335 etc etc etc….. rules are rules
  3. If you take some time to look at SLSA aircraft on trade a plane or controller, you will quickly realize that the vast majority of these planes are being bought, and sold every day with illegal modifications on them. My comment isn’t to the legality of the situation. It only shows that people just don’t care. I also haven’t seen any federal actions of enforcement either. So the only group that is reacting to it is forums online. I have also seen many experimental light sport aircraft that aren’t following the rules as well. Many are using constant speed propellers. I haven’t herd of any actions on those either. I have a SLSA aircraft with 3 letters of authorization from the manufacturer. Not all builders of SLSA are equal. 🤷
  4. I think I have an extra brand new trail tech landing light. Let me know if you still need one .
  5. Have a Tannis engine Heater installed. My engine temps are at 90 deg F at startup.
  6. Wow, I wish I would have read something like that in 2014. Fantastic advise!!
  7. Where are you located ? I ask because if you live in a northern Climate ... you might be going down the rabbit hole like I did to try to get some heat in the cabin. I also blamed leaks and this and that, but the bottom line is after 20 deg ... it was just to cold for me.
  8. I love those freebe harbor freight magnetic screw holders. I think I have like 6 of em.
  9. No party pooper song then …..🤐 I would have to agree the wrap job looks great. So much more updated in looks.
  10. Why do I hear the party pooper song in my head right now ???
  11. Ironically the genuine Rotax fuel hose doesn't need to be replaced as it Teflon.
  12. You must have some kind of condition that your not saying. A class 3 medical isn't that complex of a physical. I know of no one that could get a medical without any underlining problems that ever retain anyone to present anything to the FAA. You seem really excited about aviation and flying which is great but your making some huge assumptions on things without any knowledge. Do you have a CFI to help you through all this ?? One of the first things most CFI will do is make sure you get a student medical cert which is a class 3 medical. With out that it makes flight training kind of a waste of time really. And just as an FYI the Cirrus is a great plane but its anything but easy to fly being a high performance and very complex aircraft.
  13. I wonder how difficult it would be for him to purchase a US aircraft and then have it re registered to Canada. Would sure make shopping easier as the amount for sale in the US compared to Canada. They do have a better selection of hockey sticks!! 😅
  14. My issue usually comes in that I use my iPhone more then a windows pc.
  15. I have the same issue. It’s like you can only upload a set amount then nada.
  16. Lancair’s have never been referred to as docile. It shows in the high accident rate.
  17. Why buy a lightning when you could get what it was designed from the Lancair. …. if you can fit into it. I'm 6'5 and cant get my knees under the panel but it a screamer at 200 + knots at 8-10 gallons per hour https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=LANCAIR&model=320&listing_id=2375076&s-type=aircraft
