I’m looking for a) a tip for a good grease gun e.g. for the annual with which one can access nipples that are somewhat tightly positioned (flexible hose or even a 90°-connector). I got a big “standard” gun and built something with a flexible connector (from an adapter set) to access the fittings on my plane, but it’s impractical and sometimes a mess. There must be something built on purpose for this?
In principal a small grease gun is good because it’s just a fraction of a grease tube that is used on every annual.
And b) for tips what to do with grease fittings that are stuck. Is it worth to try to make it work again (is there an easy way?) or would you just replace it with a new one in case it’s not working 100%?

I don’t use Windy.com. I seem to be a minority of one among pilots 
I just don’t find it adds much beyond nice graphics and seems to lose a lot for me in terms of low level cloud.
But let me suggest that it might be a nice topic for a zoom lounge some evening. Those of us who use it a lot might like to share their favourite charts or use cases. I might learn a lot and probably others who do use Windy might find interesting new charts that they weren’t previously using.
My suggestion isn’t that someone makes a full presentation, but rather that individuals share their insights. That is lots people speaking for 1 or 2 minutes to introduce their preferred chart / screen on Windy rather than one person speaking for a hour.
Would others find that in interesting topic? Would they be willing to speak for a minute or two on their favourite Windy chart?

Equipped with some new experience after another great flight I’m puzzling about RVRs that are measured at several points of a runway.
It’s not exactly the same question as before, but it’s sufficiently related to the former topic here.
Say you’d have reported RVR 3000 m at touchdown zone, 250 meters midfield and 300 meters on stopway (RVR 3000/250/300).
This is a typical fog (FZFG) situation with zero wind.
Such an approach is really easy, the approach lighting and the TDZ is clear and well visible. Depending on where the fog commences one will enter fog during decelaration, which is what happened on my flight after touchdown.
I’ve read on ppRune that minimum RVR for a CAT I landing (so what we GA pilots do) was 550/150/75 meters, when several RVRs are given – couldn’t find an official source, though. Is that true? I never heard about that. It sounds reasonable.
What about a departure with the same RVR? On a long runway one could easily be airborne before midfield.
In November 2010 I bought a Skytec starter motor for my IO360. The price then was 278.85 plus VAT.
Today’s price?
A staggering £1263.21 plus VAT.
That’s a 353% increase!
