I was updating my JPI EDM-900 yesterday and lost my oil temperature display. I fiddled all day and finally got it working after about 2 hours on the phone and...
John, I have been thinking about upgrading my brake lines too. I would just go ahead and use the same blue hoses, like the ones that run from the brake ...

Bryan Burr You said what happens is the nose wheel tire gets bigger as speed increases. Ours did. Just at rotation, the grove in tire got real deep. Bolts...
So does anybody have the exact dimension from bottom of the bolt head, thru the tow bar adapter, whatever washers etc, fork, and nutplate ? I haven't ordered...
Mike, you said you were updating your EDM-900, what kind of update is it? We have an EDM-900, and haven't done any updates. All you guys are making us...
Jeff, I got one of the first EDM-900s. I sent it back in October to get the software upgraded. Some of the newer features were added, like talking to the...
Thanks for the warning. We got ours after OshKosh 2003, so I don't know where ours would be. I guess a call would be in order. Jeff www.lancaires.com...
I've had my bird up to 50 kts on the runway and no sign of nose tire grooves. Not sure if I have the problem. I have the new fancy bolts. I guess the only...
I don't think the bolts that are now available (the new 12 point head) ones are a problem being too long. Any bolt will be too long if you put the nutplate on...
Today was a great day. I have accumulated over 5.0 flight hours and made numerous landings and STALLS. Stalls are no big deal. My stall speed is 57 kts with...
Hey Guys - Has anyone called Tim to discuss this? The length of the bolts Ron & I calculated for Bryan to buy for all of us were too long - after Tim bought a...
Ron, I used Sacramento Sky Ranch www.sacskyranch.com to make up my flexible lines. I think I used stratoflex 124K. They were teflon inside, stainless steel...
So do we have a problem with the new bolts are not? The plate on the bottom with nutplates riveted is actually the same method used on the Columbia. Is this...
Tim, I have the new bolts, I assume theyr'e the second set you tested to be OK. I also have the plate underneath to hold the nutplates. I have the McCreary ...
Bryan, You didn't mention how much of a pain it will be to rework the wing root fairing!!!! That sucks! Good thing you are in primer. I'm doing a serious...
I think I will start with removing one bolt, measuring the depth to the bottom of the nutplate and checking it against the bolt length. I'm sure another light...
Yea, but my tire didn't blow up like Gene's. If Orin hadn't brought the goughing to my attention I would never have noticed it on a pre-flight. The effect...
I'm confused, but it looks like we have over an inch between the tire and ... After dragging the ES with flat tire to the shop, we found one bolt that was ...
I paid for the wing maiting option with my kit. I still checked my incedence with the template that I had to make with the drawing provided. what I found was I...
Mike, Is your jig more sophisticated than the one I made using the provided blueprint. My jig indicates about a .5 difference but the jig is "crude" at best....
I did some pretty high speed taxi tests. I had eleveator pressure all the way forward to not get airborne. I may have had lower air pressure in the nose...
Tim, My nose wheel has the grooving from the threads of the bolts rubbing on the tire. It is not deeper than the normal tread depth but the regular grooves are...
I'll report back later today with the fit of the new bolts, with the extra plate under the fork. Bryan, I'm glad Orin will look over my plane and he was there...
All I can say about painting before the testflight is it would be tough to "do what you need to do" and wreck your paint job. It's much easier to hack into...
