I am looking for recommendations for a better way to attach my wiring harness to the cradle. Adel clamps get tired and melt as do zip ties. I am also interested in a remote oil filter mount and location. I do have a good spot on the firewall between my heater can and the starter/avionics relays. Se...

Marty and I had a nice time visiting with all the LOBO people who attended this dinner. Thanks for having it, Matt.

Flight Metrics

I want to give a shout out to Flight Metrics. Matt Brannon and his team are fantastic. My Evolution was there for the Annual Condition Inspection in October right after the EPS/Advanced Aviation fly in. I am amazed at how thorough his mechanics are at finding the smallest issue.
