CNV9 is one of the nicest small fields we have ever flown into. It is right out of the Lesage control area. Very welcoming people. Read the Foreflight reviews. Also brief the local VFR procedures. I would not go to Lesage. Tons of attitude, even with the controllers. Quebec City is a wonderful desti...

According to their website , it appears so: Thanks. What I still find confusing is this adapter is also sold: Aircraft Spruce . I was in the FBO watching the fill yesterday and they seem to use an adapter to go from the standard thread to the filling port on the cylinder. The Aerox website is a lit...

Does anyone know which spec the Aerox portable cylinders use - is it CGA 540? I have decided to do my own filling since the local FBO charges $50. Thanks.

I have flown through some rough air and it has always held. Now I often disconnect the AP in rough convective air to let the plane move a little more.

…' This is all political as TC cannot offer any better insight to what the FAA or Boeing can but once again they feel compelled to "put their stamp" on it. … Exactly. Call it regulatory scent marking. It is very similar to the ADS-B diversity issue. If they don’t do something different, t...

You may want to use scotch tape backing and put a blob over the damage. Let it cure thoroughly, a few days at least, then trim down to the blade profile with sanding or filing. They say you can use 5 min epoxy, but I did a similar repair to the LE with a longer cure. I find that you get a stronger b...
