Two thoughts:

1. The earlier 1973 Skymasters have an articulated linkage instead of a gas cylinder support. Perhaps finding the former in used condition might be cheaper. I have it in my aircraft,...

Among the many Skymaster owner/pilots who use this forum, there are at least three women: Beth Fiala, Mary Lightfine and Jenny Stack. I think that both Beth and Jenny are the principal flyers of...

I have a StormScope, so I don't have trend information. It just seems to me that a delay in nexrad might be manageable if the data is time-annotated and you can loop it.

Larry, for those of us who don't have it, two questions:

1. Is the image annotated with the time it was taken?

2. Can you get a "loop" display, showing 4 or 5 images in sequence?

If the answer to...

That's exactly how to do it, Paul: get good, honest mechanics, befriend them and pamper them. If you add to that the parts procurement ideas cited, you'll have the lowest costs.

BTW, note that the...
