Fuel lube is almost as bad. It's not a question of when it will leak, but
more like when. It's a ticketing time bomb if you are using it as a thr
ead sealant.
I use a permatex thread sealant and haven't had any issues.

Whoops - I misspoke. It wasn't Boelube I used on my pipe threads. I had the
name on the brain because I'd recently used it to lubricate the piano hing
e pins that go into the cowling.
I can't recall exactly, but I think the stuff I used was EZ Turn Fuel lube
(described as a lubricant/sealant).. it's in a tube and *very* gooey and st
icky :-) ... not the Boelube that's blue, in a little jar, and oily.
But with that said, it may not be the best product for the job. A thread se
alant paste like Loctite 567 or Permatex 80632 as suggested here probably w
ould be better suited. Just so long as it can handle brake fluid properly.
Thanks, everyone!

I started getting air in my lines that I couldn't keep out recently. I'd bleed
the brakes but very soon there was some air in the lines. I removed the pilot
sides master cylinders and put the copilot ones in their place. Seems to have
fixed the problem.

My comm antennas are on the belly. My ELT antenna is closer to the GPS antenna
than recommended. I've not had any discernible issues at all.

I buried my GTN antenna in the cabin top above the access plate in the overhead
console. Works flawlessly, no cutting of the outside skin necessary.
Cheers,

ELT interference complaints are normally with com radios not GPS. 1st
generation ELTs (designed circa 1973-75) were especially bad about being
plagued by responding to strong broadcast signals, such as being near
TV, radio stations, which would actually excite the oscillator in the
ELT, rebroadcasting just enough signal to break squelch and interfere
with reception and squelch on VHF com frequencies. My previous plane had
this when all rod antennas (com, ELT and Loran) were on top of fuselage.
Once Loran was eliminated and one com was moved to belly, almost all of
problem went away. I do not know how much improvement has been designed
into 2nd generation 121.5 or 406 ELTs.

It sounds a good idea but in that case the antenna cable will be hanging from the
ceiling, or better said, from the access plate. Isn't that so?
