Guess its a moot point now that I purchased the 355

...and thanks Hilltop for advise about the radio switch.
From now on, I'll leave the radio master off until the plane starts up.
...also, good idea about GPs, I won't retire my dad's Garmin 95 just yet

Was going to the Atlantic, Iowa flight breakfast this morning
but it was storming 8O
Bad as I couldn't go
Good as the crops really needed the rain!

TSO is not required for “certified” aircraft….unless the owner or the operations require it. (I.E., not necessary for common Pt 91 ops.)

It has been awhile

My daughter is getting married this July 22
so i'm on my own for Oshkosh
as she'll be on her honeymoon

Having my annual performed at the moment
will be done this Friday i.e. 2 days

Found the L wingtip light is burned out
It is the Grimes A-7512-12 13v 26w 8019
Are these still available?
Does anyone use them anymore?
What should I use?

As always
Appreciate your help

Try calling Avlite Aviation. See if they have a better price than here at Aircraft Spruce.
