Gascolator inspection
I was wonder if in the zillions of gascolator inspections done at annuals, has anyone ever found a problem that was not suspected previously from sometihng like seeing debris during sumping? Additionally, does anyone or everyone refill the bowl before reinstalling it, to prevent the several seconds ...

Re: Anyone flying with David Clark DC ONE-X headsets?
I was considering trying this headset and was wondering if it has the noticible transponder clicking noise heard in some other ANR headsets?

Re: Tire Damage
towed maybe with the brakes on, but you'd expect the same on the other tire, or maybe parked in some corrosive liquid for a bit?

Re: Which tape for wing gaps ?
Meantime we went the glider tape route Wings and Wheels Premium gap tape. We will see how that works. Eager to get a review onf the W&W tape. I have always used the Bowlus, but shipping and payment at Cumulus is a pain. My biggest thing is how hard it is to remove a year or more later... The 3M...

Re: updating Nav database before expiration
Slightly different (prior database not retained in any way) for the GNS units. I update the spare cards and keep them in my flight bag until it's the right time. It's not uncommon for me to put them in a day ahead of time if I know I won't be flying before time. The GNS units have an interesting qu...

updating Nav database before expiration
While the nav data cycle usually comes out a week before the start date, is it bad practice to update it in the plane early? When doing so, the G1000 does not 'hold' the data until the start date and then use it (like Foreflight does), it simply overwrites the old database, then shows the database e...

Re: Color fading on wings
my plane has a few subtle small spots that look similar, despite never having any composite repair. I have always wondered about them and figured it was some touchup at the factory before delivery.

Re: Oil filter
personally, not a fan of the Tempest filter. Despite the non-stick coating on the seal, when torqued to spec it's still more challenging to remove than the Champion with a tiny amount of DC4, and the can is significantly lighter weight material.

Re: Whirlwind tour: Vegas, Grand Canyon, Zion, Tahoe
Dan, a few helpful comments: 1. For the updrafts/downdrafts or bad turbulence in general, it's by far easiest to fly in PITCH mode, riding the waves up and down (won't work in IFR unless they'll give you a block altitude, which commonly will). Your airspeed will stay constant, as will pitch, which i...
