Default How many instruments can I use for VFR?

Perhaps I missed it (for obvious reasons) but where 'bouts did they
find the corrosion, and how much?


Just aft of the pilot side door, on the fuselage. There was paint bubbling
up, which I had thought was just a poor job in the paint. A little
scraping, and sure enough, corrosion. Interesting enough, not in a place
where water can sit, and on the inside, I don't have any leaks where the
spot is.

Well turns out, corosion X, primer and paint will fix it, but I now have a
cylinder problem to deal with (I posted this to rec.aviation.owning).

500 hours after a major overhaul, hard to believe I am talking about a
cylinder with low compressions.

Ah, the pains of ownership..... which will melt away once I get airworthy
:-)
