For any of you into Rock, you need to see the movie, School of Rock. It
starts a little slow, but gets pretty good.

I'm doing some work on a 76 Tiger.
The carpets are soaked with oil, so I take them out. The Marker Beacon
antenna coax is draped OVER the control cables under the console, then run under
the pilots side plastic console side panel and under the carpet to the rear
heal kick panel, taped to the rear bulkhead under the seat with scotch tape, up
over the flap torque tubes, wire tied to the flap motor, then run through one
of the holes to the antenna. Very professional installation...
The screws holding down the rear console were rusted in place. I had to cut
them out with a Dremel.
The ADF had been removed, well, the ADF unit and the antenna had been
removed, the cable is/was still there. Ditto the DME.
The wires to the 12 to 24 volt DC to DC converter were run under the right
side panel - under the screws attaching the side panel to the plane. Just
lucky the wires weren't cut.
Inside the empenneage (spelling?), there was many years stuff. Lots and
lots of insulation, bugs and two wasps nests. Hundreds of dead wasps lying in
the oil.
The control cables have NEVER been adjusted, they still have the original
pins in the original paint in the turn buckles.
Bet the original owner bragged he never spent much on annuals.
The new owner will end up paying for his lack of paying.

I was talking to the avionics guy and learned something interesting.
An ADF, which is very involved to install and very sensitive to engine noise
and all sorts of other noise problems, can be installed by anyone on a logbook
entry.
and
A GPS, which requires power and ground and an antenna with a view of the sky,
requires a field approval.
So, is there any doubt in your mind that the FAA is really here to help?
And a windshield installation requires an STC.
And an aircraft battery is NOT an aircraft battery unless your aircraft
happens to be on the right list even though a plane made under the same type
certificate with a different model number uses that particular battery.
Go figure.
