Re: Rotax 912 ULS Resale value
I have had a couple that were not economically repairable. When they are like that there is wear and damage on the gears. From a pilot standpoint you probably wouldn't be able to tell anything, but from a mechanic standpoint you can visibly see the damage once the gearbox is apart. Heavy propellers ...

If you don't have a bunch of paperwork from when the airplane was delivered new, order the CD from the FAA for your airplane.

Re: Piper / Czech Sport Cruiser throttle cable...
McMaster Carr is a good source for hardware. Just make sure it meets the DIN specification called out in the parts manual. There are also a few of the eastern European airplanes that use AN hardware, so be sure to check.

Re: Piper / Czech Sport Cruiser throttle cable...
I'm not sure about the Sport Cruiser, but I have changed a few inner cable due to fraying. It is pretty simple, just find a cable of the correct diameter and the proper crimped end fitting. You might check with Cruiser Aircraft USA in Utah.

Re: Winter Advice
You are probably better off just charging the battery and not starting the engine. The engine really needs to have an oil temperature of 190°f when running it, and preferably for more than just a couple minutes. Running it on the ground at 2500 will not achieve this.

Re: Using autopilot in airspace while under ATC control
I once got scolded by tower that I had drifted over the centerline of the parallel runway when I had been instructed to fly runway heading. I was flying runway heading, but there was a significant crosswind. At the time I wasn't quick witted enough to say, oh did you mean runway course.
