So it is concerning that Arcline Investment Management, same investment firm that owns Hartzel Propeller and which has bought out almost every accessory brand including exhaust (AWI-AMI and Kingsley welding) and an overhaul facility (QAA-Quality Aircraft Accessories) now has bought out Continental Engines and that pricing will be driven so high for the General Aviation community it's going to leave no competition for better pricing and the normal Joe will not be able to afford anything to do with flying. This in my eyes is not good.

Well another 140 inspection done with aileron repairs, Ho**er Harness install, a re-rigging and a happy customer that doesn't have to cross control the airplane anymore to fly straight!

Trying to get my 3D printing and design business off so I'm throwing this out there to see if there is any interest. I designed this spark plug caddy for the owners that do their condition inspections and maintenance. I was thinking $35 ea for generic ones and $40 ea for custom with N-number. (Plus shipping) Will start with these 4 colors but can print any color (mostly) that you request. Also has non-slip silicone feet. And 6 cylinder caddies are available also!

Edit to clarify: 6 cylinder and above will be a little more money due to print time and material used, I will figure out the 7, 9 cylinder design and I also am figuring out the Rotax design to fit the smaller plugs. And please be patient I a 6 cylinder one takes 12.5 hrs to print and I can only do one at a time at the moment. the 4 cylinder version I can do 2 at a time except the custom ones.
Thanks Again for your interest!

Here is a video I made on the Ignition switch and diode for the Starter relay

In this video I show the internal damage to the ignition switch because there was no diode installed on the starter relay.

Did you ever wonder why there is a lil wire from the small post to ground on the starter relay? Here is why and a look into the ignition switch and wires when it doesn't have one.

Started an annual inspection today on a 1973 Piper PA28-180 with about 6524 TTAF and the photos are of an H-stab AFT fitting for the balance tube attachment. I've looked at many 28s over the years and this is the first time I've seen a crack in one of these. Fortunately they are still available as a new replacement. So MAS will have to remove the H-stab to de-rivet the fitting and replace it with a new one.
