Andrew, beautiful work! One teensy suggestion would be to cut off the excess bolts in the vent manifold. I think you want 2 threads showing. Nit picking, I know! Phil Kriley

Hangar cleaning
I’m not exactly sure what you are saying, but if you upgrade from Cleveland to Matco YOU MUST REPLACE EVEYTHING. This includes the axels and wheels! Matco brakes WILL NOT WORK ON CLEVELAND AXELS. And

Towing planes into hangar
I made a simple rig that attaches to the wing tie-downs. I took a 2x4 that was as long as the distance from one tie-down to the other, with a rope and hook from each end of the 2x4 to each tie-down. T

ADSB clicking noise in my headset
I agree with James. After getting ADSB installed (Garmin GNX375) I had a clicking noise when looking straight ahead that went away if I turned my head left or right. I “fixed” it by turning my headset

Marc, I like the switch protectors on your landing gear and landing brake switches. Where did you buy them, if I may ask? Phil Kriley

A carburetor and NO EFI? And an auto engine? Now there are some things to rethink, IMHO. Fuel injection is so much less hassle... Phil Kriley
