What Bugs You The Most?

As e.drucker said the baggage compartment door blocks the wingwalk and
handhold on a Warrior. There is no inspection plate to service the fuel
level sending unit on the fuel tanks. The tank MUST be removed.

Can you "install" such a plate, or is there something structural in the
way?

time I run the starter. Weird.

You sure the aux pump is working? Could be you're priming by cranking
the engine pump which gets you the start on the second crank.

Hmmmm. I guess that's a possiblity. The aux pump makes plenty of noise when it's on.
Wonder if it's really pumping... On the other hand, suppose only the engine pump is
working. Why doesn't it eventually start the first time? Why does it start
*instantly* on the second go?

Best regards,

A canopy that doesn't really fit properly and recently developed the
inability to stay properly locked closed.

Of course everyone thinks their plane is wonderful, but every plane has at
least
one annoying 'feature'. I don't want to hear about cabin width or cruise
speed,
but that minor gremlin you would fix if money was free and time
replaceable.

In my plane, the overflow vent vents too much and full tanks cause it to
drip. Yes, I know how to fix it, and probably will next annual, but
right now
it bugs me.

Not to say it can't be the aux pump, but I get the same symptom in my
Skyhawk, which has no fuel pump at all. In fact, it's finicky enough
that about a 4-second delay between crankings is best to guarantee a
start on the second try.
