First Mods…
February 14, 2012
Modifying anything is the best way to make it “your own,” and that’s the plan. Pulled the A/C into the hanger and got started today. What mods are the “best” and where to start is a topic of debate… It’s generally thought that B.A.S. Inc. shoulder harnesses, B.A.S. Tail Pull Handles, and larger tires are a great place to start.
For this reason, I started with the Tailpull.
Next was a Selkirk glare-shield. Selkirk makes some nice stuff, however don’t expect any of it to fit on the first go round. Trim, fit, trim, fit, trim fit…
Next was an oil pan heater. I went with the Reiff Hotstrip sold by Spruce. I probably should have gone with the more complete Tanis heater as it is a much better unit, but I’ll be keeping the airplane in a hanger and wont need it that often.
Last, I installed a belly drain from C-Mods Inc. C-Mods is no longer in business, but this is just a standard fuel drain and can be sourced at Spruce.
