requirement
Wow, I didnt expect a full year delay from import to Canadian
airworthiness...
At least, it does seems like the firewall wont be an issue.
As for the carb heat, looks like a minor job if using that Skydrive
technology.
What about the gascolator requirement ? Anyone been able to get away with
only fuel drains at the lowest point in the fuel system ?
Finally my wife asks about the cabin heat. I know that N202Y doesnt have
cabin heat; the guys down South say it's a warm cabin... Is that the case
? Would it be required if I wanted to fly in ~ 0C ground temperature ? Any
way to easily fit this in a Classic with R912UL ?
Regards,
Luc
