Capt. Jimbob,
Thanks for the "hello" note.
Things are good! 353CC is running like a fine swiss watch right now, just
the usual grumbles a little exhaust deflection on top of the
nacelle that needs some attention (don't want to warp any metal), a little
water leaking into the cabin when it rains, but other than that, PERFECT!
I did have an adventure going to Scottsdale, AZ a couple of weeks ago with a
friend though. The 2 of us flew down in ideal conditions and had an
uneventful perfect flight; then, that evening, we both got REALLY sick in
Scottsdale (NOT food poisoning). We were both bedridden for 14 hours or so;
my friend was throwing up and I got Monetzuma's Revenge in a big way. Turns
out my left 3-in-1 gauge had sprung a minor leak (which I spotted the next
day, having become suspicious of our symptoms), dripping fuel into the cabin
for the 3-hour flight, which we both breathed without noticing. Scary--not
enough leakage for us to smell, especially with O2 on, but plenty enough to
make us sick.
The good news was that Executive Aviation Services at SDL called in a
mechanic on Saturday, when their maintenance dept. is normally closed, to
fix my airplane. It only took a couple of hours to remove/pressure
test/reinstall (with some teflon tape on the fittings) the 3-in-1, they had
GREAT labor rates (<$300 for the whole fix, which took about 6 man-hours)
and to top it off, they waived the hangar/overnight fees for the weekend I
was there! In addition, they fixed a couple of other minor squawks on their
own, exhibiting high standards of service, at no fee. John Phoenix, the
(new) owner of EAS, is a real friend to Commander owners. I recommend
paying a visit when in Scottsdale.
Next step is new paint. I've saved up the $$, it's just a matter of finding
a quality paint shop with time on their schedule. Any suggestions? Who
painted the Grand Renegade???? Speaking of which, is her singed wing healing
nicely?
Hope all's well in the Northwest!
/John
PS: The scariest issue from that trip is, what if I was alone? How much fuel
vapor does it take to incapacitate a single pilot? What would have happened
then? We noticed that we got sick at different rates with different
symptoms. I'll be VERY glad when there's an approved solution for
transducer-based gauges that get fuel & oil out of the cockpit for good.....

For several years my Duke was parked outside and I used Mequiers carnuba past
wax. Two applications, twice each year. They looked great and it helped to
shed ice. jb
