Re: Upgrading avionics for instrument rating training in C172
For what it's worth my son and I did all his Instrument and CFII training in the 170 with venturi steam gauges, although we also have the GNX 375 navigator. Echoing everyone here it made him an excellent instrument pilot and instructor with a great scan. It was a lot of work but he is glad that he h...

Re: Thoughts on Upcoming Annual
Thanks Bruce and all. As always nothing is simple. Early in it's life 37C had Geiss crosswind gear installed and later removed.
I will come back to the forum when I have more info.

Hi Bruce,
Thank you, I will look into this and make sure I don't end up making something worse. I do have the wheel pant axle nuts.

Thoughts on Upcoming Annual
On upcoming Annual thinking about:
1. Replacing aluminum axles with steel; I want to remove wheel fairing brackets that are not in use anyway.
2. Overhauling Scott 3200 tailwheel (no issues but has not been done in a very long time).
Thoughts on risk/reward/cost benefit?

New Hampshire Eclipse
Made a last minute decision to fly up to Berlin, NH BML for the eclipse. Perfect weather and about 25 aircraft flew in to this quiet airport. Airport manager and staff were fantastic and we all got a great view, including a close pass of Mt. Washington! Untitled.jpg 20240408_130351.jpg Untitled1.jpg

Re: Stall warning switch vane
Safe Flight is still in business in White Plains, NY. In 2021 I inquired about "overhaul" of the stall warning unit (not the vane) and they quoted $1135. Today their quote is $2530.

Re: Landing Light Surprise
Shielded wire helped but didn't eliminate the problem. Turns out it was a known issue from Whelen for 14 volt systems and they sent updated bulbs which solved the problem.
