IF…you are considering coming to the Flying X Ranch Solar Eclipse event….. PLEASE RSVP ASAP! The Central Texas counties are ALL being cautioned that the large expected attendance from visitors outside the area will SWAMP grocery stores, public services, Etc etc….

Windy.com is a really interesting website with multiple-layers of info. On short-range flight planning I use AirNav.com and check AWOS at nearby and enroute fields…. BUT… don’t forget to check NOTAMS https://www.notams.faa.gov/dinsQueryWeb/ ForeFlight and Fly-Q are favorite pre-flight briefing sourc...

I think “static” RPM should be checked in “static” conditions at sea-level, standard atmosphere. This would be in a No Wind condition…which is what Cessna is attempting in that procedure. Tachometers in these airplanes are typically mechanical and prone to IN-accuracies and their mounted positions c...

Still have the glass (pyrodex) gascolator. Love it.

If the auto-reset breaker still works…I’d keep it. You certainly can replace it with a common breaker OR fuse…just log it, IMO.

Are you certain power to it is THRU the landing light switch..? It should have it’s power supplied continuously…. not only when the land/light switch is activated. Perhaps it’s wired/sourced on the “hot” buss side of that switch?
