Thanks for the reply Casper.

You too. [emoji1303]

Ok thanks, Im studying for the test and I can’t believe the amount of topics you have to know. And get 80% to pass.

Well I did not know that, do you know if we need that when travelling to the states?

I wonder what a Canadian pilot needs to fly a plane from Regina to lets say Minot. Is the Canadian pilots licence recognized in the USA?

I could be wrong about that...I thought the SFOC was needed for “C” or restricted air space.

Looks like you can’t until you have had your Advanced licence for 6 months.

Thanks to Dirk for pointing me to the thermal compound discussion. I did a little research and found that Arctic 5 had a good Watts per mK heat dissipation. There were others and I finally decided on Nocterna NT H1 paste. I talked to the computer tech where I purchased the stuff and after...

I just changed out my Mavics front arm and discovered the heat sink compound needs to be replaced, so what type is best, the hardening type, or the non hardening paste style. Also the non hardening type comes with a silver high performance additive, but is conductive. Anyone have suggestions?
