What Richard said.Â* I installed ADS-B in my Stemme and the hardest part
was removing and replacing all the stuff necessary to get to a flat spot to mount the hardware.Â* The gigantic antenna was easily installed under the turtle deck using a design shown to me by another Stemme owner.Â* My IA inspected my work, said it looked "Perfect", gave me a log book sticker, sent a 337 to the FAA, and handed me a bill for his time.Â* It was easy work and the price paid the IA was well worth it!

Refinishing Ventus b Fuselage
Back to the refinishing project... I have to commend the guys for
documenting this and tracking the hours... I'm sure many would have underestimated how long such a refinish might take... I am interested why they have used Sharpie pens on the paint as opposed to a commercially available guide coat, which makes sure you have not missed any areas. I would use guide coat and 800 paper, wet... probably re-guide coat at 1200, then soft pencil at 1500 before hitting it with G3 to bring out the shine... great work though...!...

The Finnish never had any quarrels with the Polish, but now they are done? Explain, please. In 1939, the Finns and Poles were inflicted with some quarrelsome Germs. Finally got over it in 1945. |
