Further research lead me to the attached document from Whelen Aerospace which does a good job answering the question. It indicates something like a Whelen Orion 650 combo position/anti-collision light could be installed on the left wing, which would allow the rudder light to be removed. I have...

I'll be replacing the right (green) position light on my plane with a uAvionix skySensor, which acts as a green position light and optionally be wired in as a strobe light (in addition to acting as an ADS-B In receiver.) The tail already has a uAvionix tailBeaconX installed (see photo.) It acts...

I don't think experience with recovering from a conventional spin will provide any insight into recovery from a flat spin. All the aerodynamic controls become useless because there is little to no air flow over them. I recall reading of a flat spin recovery where a couple of pilots in a light...

Thanks for that background info - very helpful in explaining the price changes. In my case an alternator would be nice to have, not an essential purchase (such a replacing a dead alternator.)

Belated note: Aircraft Supply now shows double the price, making it comparable to other suppliers. But I got the print copy of Aircraft Spruce's catalog (printed sometime last year) and it shows the price for that alternator conversion at half the amount it is now. That is one hell of an...

Finished wrapping the control wheels a couple weeks ago. This is what the final result looks like.

Sight seeing?

Congratulations! Do they do any traditional rite like cutting off the tail of your shirt?

Here's one guy's debrief on what he believes happened.

These all appear to my layman eyes to be the same generator to alternator upgrades but the price differential between Aircraft Supply and the other two retailers is simply too large for me to believe they are selling the same thing...

Always kind of neat, in my opinion.

You mean these guys? https://dogcopilot.org/ If so, seems their "about" web page has some of that info (enough flying to transport 1000 animals a month.)

Some thoughts: Counterfeit auto parts are a fairly lucrative target market if my searches on "counterfeit auto parts accident statistics" are any indication. All the articles warn of their dangers, at least one claiming an epidemic of accidents, but did not provide a source for that claim and I...

Just a followup: I've got several changes in the works for the plane now and decided to order leather covers with PTT buttons stitched in. I need to have the PTT wired into the system but while waiting to have that done I took a try at attaching one of the covers to the copilot side to see how...

Good to see it arrived safely. I see they put the wheel pants/fairings on!

My modest advice (I'm not a CFI - just a low time pilot): Make sure the trim setting is near the takeoff trim setting when you are abeam the end of the runway on downwind. After reducing throttle to about 1600 RPM it will thereafter slow to about 1500 RPM. I have found that the RPM setting is...

I had about 20 hours in single engine airplane when I soloed in 2010. However, I had accumulated roughly 12 hours (41 landings) in gliders in 2008. I had spent the summer of 2008 learning in gliders and the instructor felt I was resdy to solo on the next weekend. But her full time job as a...

The C-A150L has this placard in it.
