Well, I built my own audio panel/intercom, so I guess the answer to your qu
estion is 'yes'.
Google "LM324" and "mixer" and you'll see some ideas. Or I can email you th
e circuit I used. Cost about $5.

Update: I got the prop back and learned a few things while I talked to
them. First, they do NOT recommend 100 hour greasings. At most you'd
want to do it annually, but then make SURE to stick to the 1oz
recommendation and also use safety wire on the opposite zerk to dig out
any pasted grease so it comes out easily. In fact, there is a saying
that "if it ain't leaking, don't grease it" which makes some sense now
that I've seen a cutaway view. Inside there, you don't have lots of
fast rolling bearings...just bearings that let you rotate the prop. The
grease just lubes that area and keeps it from rusting. So, it's
unlikely to wear out the grease very fast, and if it isn't leaking it's
probably going to last many many years. They feel that although they
wouldn't recommend it, you could run to TBO on the grease that's in
there IF it doesn't leak out. So, don't overgrease for sure...it's not
like wheel bearings that need to be done real often. Also, apparently
the original seals from Hartzell were "quad" (square) seals, and those
leaked a lot. The prop shop actually had some better seals made up at
one time that were round and made of something else. Hartzell also
changed seals and had even worse leak issues. Not all that long ago,
Hartzell finally updated their seals once again to some nice silicone
material that lasts longer and seals better. So if you get new seals
it will likely be better than original if you have the older seals of
other types.
With all of this done, I got the prop on and did a test flight and my
leak problem is definitely gone!

Tim, that is pretty much exactly what Maxwell Propeller in Minneapolis told me
when they overhauled the propeller on my old Bonanza. In fact, that was a Beechcraft
propeller (no longer produced) and Maxwell actually took the grease zirks
off and plugged them while performing the overhaul, saying there was no need
to ever grease the Beechcraft propellers for the reasons you mention. Those
old Beechcraft props were excellent. IIRC, there were zero AD's on a propeller
that had been in service for several decades. They don't make em like that any
more!

Yeah, it was Maxwell that I went to too. They have so many props in the shop that
I know I can trust their advice. Good folks. Due to my time pressure, which
caused the wrong person to have to calculate my bill, I almost paid double....but
I noticed something wrong and they checked it out. Ended up paying $800
but they repainted it too so it looks good and they alodined the wear pits and
cleaned them up. I shouldn't have pushed the timeline which would have allowed
the normal billing person to do it. I'm just glad it's good to go.

Tim, David,
Thanks for posting this useful information. My previous prop was a McCauley on
a 182 and it didn't have any zerk fittings, so the Hartzel maintenance instructions
seemed like a bit of overkill.
No grease next year unless it's leaking!

I am 68; too young to die and too old to survive a beating. I would not
survive in a conflict with the Trayvons of the world (18, 6' 2" and a
muscular 190 pounds). Therefore I have both training and permit to carry a
weapon; I may lose my life in a confrontation but do not intend to give up
willingly. I don't look for trouble and I believe "a soft answer turns away
wrath" BUT if and when an officer asks "what are you afraid of?". "Not a
damn thing."

The reason for a firearm in Alaska has nothing to do with protecting
rights (well, maybe a little). It is all about having something to
protect yourself from a bear that likes the smell of food in your plane,
and the ability to supplement your diet for the weeks you may wait for
search and rescue to locate and reach your unintended landing location.

Since I couldn't bring my 44mag in to Canada, I took a crash course in "Kung fu
against bears" and as a backup I brought bear spray. With the large group there's
not any real reason I'll have to hunt or go for an extended stay on the
ground. If I were traveling alone or in a small group I'd have to get a compact
shotgun. It really is a shame that you can't even bring a cased, locked, and
secured handgun in while you transit the country....a 44mag really would be
a good size to carry for emergencies up there. Mine is a medium length barrel
that is long enough to hunt big game with but short enough to backpack with.
As a gun owner I'm understanding to some of the feelings of those who have reservations
about handguns but I do feel that they have their place and for me,
traveling across the Yukon just seems like the perfect place, so it's sad that
they're restricted. I run the middle of the road....I think carrying should
be legal, but if you carry and go LOOKING for trouble, the punishment for you
should be very severe. Responsibility... We accept it as pilots all the time.
If only you could say the same for the general population.
Anyway, probably getting a bit political for the list so we may want to get back
to airplanes. The topic is related to Alaska but we don't need to argue the
nations gun control laws or lack thereof. To those things most people already
have their own solid opinion. I prefer to stay in the middle.

| Subject: | Re: Update on Garmin G3X |
I only have 32 hours on my G3X but I love it. It has all the bells and whistles
as the others and then some. Geo-referenced approach plates and safe taxi,
for example. Mine is a 3 screen system with PFD and MFD on the pilot side and
a screen that does both on the right . These are configurable as are most things
on the system. It interfaces flawlessly with the GX pilot A/P and GTN-650.
With respect to operating costs if you are flying IFR I don't see much difference
between the competitors. Jeppesen is going to get your $ one way or another.
As I wrote a couple months ago in my comparison between GRT, AFS, and Garmin -
there is not much difference in functionality. Dynon is not in the same league
assuming you want a full capability IFR machine, otherwise their stuff is good
too. I like the landscape screens a little better than the portrait style
with the G3X but not enough to justify the price difference (at the time I was
looking). I also like having 2 screens on the pilot side in the event that one
goes TU.
I use a Dynon D-6 as a backup which is a neat little unit.
If you are wondering if I am happy with the G3X my response is yes. You will get
the same response from the GRT and AFS guys too. We all like what we invested
so much in.

| Subject: | Re: Alaska (was bahamas) |
I concur with the 44; have a SW629, but the need for protection in AK is
certainly more from the wildlife rather that the two legged critters there.
Question is would you rather have a shotgun with 00 or "play dead" in the
fetal position. After all you are fresh meat for the bears. Also pilots
should carry SPOT or PLB for assistance there.

Since I couldn't bring my 44mag in to Canada, I took a crash course in "Kung
fu against bears" and as a backup I brought bear spray. With the large
group there's not any real reason I'll have to hunt or go for an extended
stay on the ground. If I were traveling alone or in a small group I'd have
to get a compact shotgun. It really is a shame that you can't even bring a
cased, locked, and secured handgun in while you transit the country....a
44mag really would be a good size to carry for emergencies up there. Mine
is a medium length barrel that is long enough to hunt big game with but
short enough to backpack with. As a gun owner I'm understanding to some of
the feelings of those who have reservations about handguns but I do feel
that they have their place and for me, traveling across the Yukon just seems
like the perfect place, so it's sad that they're restricted. I run the
middle of the road....I think carrying should be legal, but if you carry and
go LOOKING for trou!
ble, the punishment for you should be very severe. Responsibility... We
accept it as pilots all the time. If only you could say the same for the
general population.
Anyway, probably getting a bit political for the list so we may want to get
back to airplanes. The topic is related to Alaska but we don't need to
argue the nations gun control laws or lack thereof. To those things most
people already have their own solid opinion. I prefer to stay in the
middle.

I always fly with a handgun if I'm not going to some controlled airport.
It's all about survival in the bush. But I do carry one in the city too and that
is for personal defense. And Houston is so full of illegals and you need one
here. Just watch the news and see how many murders are reported each day right
here.
I've been targeted before a few times and good situational awareness combined with
quick thinking got me out of it. But that's enough about life in the southern
boarder of the US.
In the plane, I'll happily carry a handgun and use it to keep the family fed.
There is a lot of remote country out there.
Tim you should watch IAWOODSMAN on YouTube. Good stuff and you will appreciate
(and feel more comfortable) having seen some of his training videos.
He was an instructor at the USAF Survival School. It is known as one of the best
survival programs out there.
