I have the same experience with the EIS 2000 unit. It is accurate and convenient. Also I have been impressed with the friendly tech help. I have no connection with the company. Ken Carpenter N9XS mon
I used Superfil and Top Gloss on my Europa. I was scared of the more toxic Imron and such. I used a HVLP gun and thinned it about 10%. I never did get a balance between run-downs and orange peel. I s
I am using a Garmin 295 and it is mounted on a pedestal on top of the tunnel in front of the brake handle. Works well there and uses the regular attached antenna. It plugs into a nearby cigarette lig
I am having the same reaction as Rob. In 50years of flying general aviation planes, about 3500 hours, I have never had a flat tire. That includes some flying with tires showing cord. Are our Europa t

I forgot, I have a water temp gauge and it has been checked for accuracy with boiling water. I get cruise temps around 190F in the summer and down to 160-170F in the winter with OT 40-50F. Once I get
I leave my wings rigged all the time. The pins are hard to remove but I am waiting a while before probably smoothing the pins with Brillo. I think with use they will loosen some. I am at 88 hours now
