Sorry, but now you’re being pedantic. Yes, you have to follow an existing STC (you don’t have to foot the bill for time and expense of doing it all yourself since the relevant flowchart is already published). Yes, it is expensive - roughly half again as much as the suggested $40k Porsche overhaul; which is what I…

As stated earlier, this particular airframe model has a history of using both standard engines. Existing STCs would be considered as precedent. 

It shouldn’t as long as replaced with either the proper Lycoming or Continental already certified for the M20L airframe. 

As long as it is an engine already certified in that airframe, I don’t think do. Both Lycoming and Continental made engines for that airframe.

Screw all the external stuff. PD will come again next year (or maybe sooner since it’s completely arbitrary anyway) but your wedding presumably won’t. Also, I hope you can be at peace with the manufactured drama other people assign to small weddings. Add the complexities of the pandemic and all bets are off. Just tell…

I have a series 4 and I think I’m going to wait this one out. I opted for stainless since it came with a harder crystal face and I’m hard on watches. So far it’s holding up well. If it craps out or breaks in the next six months, I won’t be heartbroken, but it it keeps on ticking, I’ll probably wait for series 7. 

Estimated overhaul cost for the Porsche engine is $40k. I have no idea how much research is behind that number (could be valid or it could be somebody got that as an estimate once and included it in the wiki entry), but the aircraft could be repowered with the correct Continental or upgraded Lycoming Turbo for a…

Oh, but they do. This aircraft has relatively low time and is considered “high performance complex”, plus the Porsche engine is comparably fuel efficient. You’d have a hard time finding a Cessna 172 of the same vintage with similar time for a lot less, and you’d be cruising a full 60kts slower while burning the same…

I see a lot of whincing about this being advertised on FB marketplace. Here’s the thing, it’s a Canadian registered aircraft. The maintenance process for aircraft is nothing like that for a car. Every bolt tightened has a logbook entry.

And they will. This vehicle is not for those people, just like there are thousands of vehicle model that don’t meet the needs of everyone. This is a further step in that direction by yet another manufacturer. In no world is that a bad thing. 

There will be plenty of absurdity going down in November. Trump is already loading up his minions for a “non-transition” of leadership. Lots of pissed off morons with guns makes for a likely bad scenario. 

Not gonna lie - this has been one of the biggest perks of having an EV for the past four years! 

It’s almost like an EV might not be YOUR best choice. 

I’d like to get my hands on one to play with for a few weeks, but I’m still not sure I totally understand the appeal at that cost. I was absolutely thrilled to get my first Windows Mobile phone years ago (some HTC slider model), and eventually left completely disappointed. I started my smartphone life with a Palm Treo…

I only like other people’s black cars. I’ve had my one and only. 

Was interesting but overpriced at $25k. Then I saw the mileage. Buckets of nope here. 

We are currently training a small army of self proclaimed Christians who are absolutely terrorists. Just like the vast majority of the world’s Muslim population is peaceful, the same holds true for the Christian population. There are groups of radical fundamentalists in every belief system ready and willing to…

True - many are only told what the Bible says. A large swath of the fundamental Christian population is becoming radicalized in the same way that many fundamentalist Muslims have been radicalized over the years; by unscrupulous clergy with specifically non religious agendas.

Not one anyone has ever heard of! 

That is just a mind warping amount of money from one game.
