Good luck Steve.

Steve... ummm... did the guy in the truck pay for your new / overhauled prop I hope!

What is the general guidance for when to do a prop overhaul? We are now at the stage where it is advised, but there are no issues, so how long should one leave this... or just get it done? Appreciate comments and advice.

Steven, for what's its worth, when I lived in Tampa I never installed the winter kit. Just does not get cold enough. I would not use it.

Now in Boston... it's a different matter!

Jonathan,

There are quite a few posts relating to the usefulness and people's experiences of using brokers on the forum, you just need to search. I don't have the time right now to connect the links for you. I have experience working with both Lifestyle and Premier so PM me if you wish.

Check out this video... for those of us thinking about moving from a DA40 to Cirrus SRxx or potentially a DA42/62, not so sure a Cirrus would have been so forgiving in this situation:

Anyone done Alton Bay (B18) in a DA40?

I am hoping to do it first time this winter season with an instructor in a C172/182 if the ice gets thick enough, and then if no high snow banks take the DA40 up from Boston.

Any advice appreciated!

Chris, great post and thanks so much for sharing!

Paul, not sure if you have flown the av gas DA40? If you have, how would you compare the noise from the vents when opened, between the two planes? When I flew the NG, the weather was cold so there was no need to open the vents but I should have... was having too much fun at the time doing other stuf...

Russ, obviously the make is Mercedes, however what year, make, model etc did you fill in to get to the Arctic White 147?
