Hey Jimmy, love those landing lights. I am a 30 year vet of a large Sheriff's Dept. when we would go to the County garage to fill up and get things fixed on our patrol cars. we would go grab landing lights and replace the crappy alley lights with the landing lights. We would also put the landing lights in our spotlights. Really bright!!

[@c140flyer]

I got my multi in a 1957 310 in 1985. Great plane and a bit of a "tiger by the tail" till you get used to it. Shortly after that, I took it from Crestview, FL to New Orleans. I had never flown it at night and this was a big mistake on my part. On the flight down, I was showing 185 m.p.h. (can't remember the power setting). On the flight back (at night), I was showing around 160 and there was a slight vibration. I checked the gear and flaps and they were both up. At one point the controller wanted to verify that it was a "twin" Cessna! Come to find out, I'd turned off the landing lights after take-off but never retracted them. Due to their large size, they make great speed brakes! Once retracted, the speed went up to 190 or so and the vibration went away. Another interesting thing to note: You can see sparks coming from the over-wing exhaust when it's dark. According to the owner, it's perfectly normal as it's un-burned carbon particles.

[@ronnydowdy7432]

Most landing lights are 24 to 28 volts but you can still use them with just 12 volts and they will be brighter than your regular car lights.

I was in the Marine Corps...we deployed to Norway for 99 days, survived on 1st gen MRE's and the Cold Weather MRE's of the 80's the entire time. You don't know what an MRE poop is until you have to do it on the top of a mountain, in Norway, 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

[@JdMcMahonjr]

I’m a Marine veteran and I loved the spaghetti and meatballs in the old MRE’S. It’s been 24 years since I ate my last one. The longest my unit went having to eat MRE’S. Was 80 plus days in the sand box in the 90’s we were supposed to only be out for 45 days but got stuck when our relief unit came and we were told we wouldn’t be leaving.

[@straycat1081]

I went to Basic Training in the US Army in Dec 1986. I was among the first soldiers to sample MREs when they replaced c-rats. Even the Drill Sergeants hadn't tried them yet. My favorites were ham slices and chicken a la king. The dried fruit was pretty good too. That liquid cheese stuff would stop you up but tasted pretty good. MREs eventually had gotten better, and they added tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce which made everything edible.

[@svdoinitright7519]

I've done 60 days on C-Rations, and 45 days on MREs. The MRE's are an enormous step up from the C-Rations. In Army boot camp (1981), I had C-Rations with dates on the cans of 1959, before I was born. My experiences were just routine exercises in Germany and Korea.

[@daszieher]

Oh, the German EPA got better with age, although my oldest (back in '94) was from '86, so basically still brand new. Another guy once picked one up from '74. There was no real difference 🤣

[@nickhannaford3253]

When I was in Scouts as a kid in the ‘80s our Scout leader was a retired Royal Marine. He used to get us the U.K. ration packs when we went camping/hiking. They had some tinned stuff and a hexi stove as well as dehydrated packets. Best stuff was “Biscuits Fruit”. Or the porridge oats that you would add the apple flakes that were supposed to be a desert to. The modern stuff is much more like your MRE.

[@mikejordan9220]

I’ve only had to endure a couple of weeks straight on MRE’s. I was around at the time the Army transitioned from C rations to MRE’s . They were pretty bad compared to what we got when I retired. I remember one that the main course was a dehydrated beef patty. You had to soak it in cold water and eat it cold. The meals didn’t have heaters in them. The beef patty would leave a layer of grease stuck to the roof of your mouth that could be scraped off. A few of them were ok but if you drew a barbecued beef for breakfast it was a little hard to get down sometimes.

[@jimdavis6833]

Back in my days, there were C-rations. Things were in cans with a little can opener that was hard on the fingers. They even included a miniature pack of cigarettes with matches. They didn't taste too bad when one was hungry enough. The cigs were good trade material for those who didn't smoke. I was in the USAF too, Jimmy, so we ate those mostly on the flightline when we couldn't get away for lunch. RETIRED FIGHTER MECH.

[@billhouchens7439]

I only went 5 days on “K rats”, during a peacetime deployment during the early development phase of what is now known as JSOC. I was part of a five man USAF element, mixed with some Marines and a couple of Navy guys. We worked on inter service coordination, to try to prevent a repeat of the Desert Disaster of 1980 in Iran. Two things I remember about the rations. One was a “Buffalo chip” cookie. It was never, ever intended to be eaten. It was apparently constructed of an indestructible space-age material, painted dark brown with black pebbles epoxied to the exterior. It had no smell. And you couldn’t break it with a pickaxe. The second was something guys would actually trade away WITH a canned peaches incentive, because they were so vile. A few midwestern guys loved them; I never learned much about their childhoods, but I also believe I’m better off that way. They were called “ham and motherfuckers”. The actual name was ham and Lima beans. The nickname was perfect for the astonishingly disgusting visual you got when peeling the lid back on these beauties. I had a great time with those loopy a-holes, and we did some solid work! Oh. My. God.

[@klvkflyer397]

When I was in the service 40 years ago, we had C Rations. Ham & Eggs you couldn't give away. Enjoy watching your progress on the 310....better you than me.

They added the water and put the bag inside their uniforms an hour before eating to warm it up. C-rats gave you 4 squares of TP, 4 cigarettes, matches, rarely fruit or cookies and a plastic spoon. Beware of any food types that are produced by the lowest bidder;-)

My dad was in the Army, back when the MRE bags were dark brown. He would come back from field training with several for me and my brother. I think chicken ala king was everybody's favorite. During MY time in the military, I think I went a little over 30 days while deployed. There was one guy who went much longer because he didn't trust any other food while deployed. (We'd sometimes have local food where ever we went). There was some decent ones over the years. Even with some sort of milkshake drink. I retired 4 years ago. I would have nicely accepted the MRE but launched it across the hanger. I haven't been out long enough to try one again. lol Oh, and during one deployment, I got to try several Canadian MREs, which are so much better.

You need a 'Wire Tracer'. You hook one device up to GND and a wire somewhere, then connect the receiver to GND and hold it next to the wires by the panel. The first device injects a tone, and the other picks it up and plays it, so you can hear when you're getting close.

Use a tone generator for tracing wires. Hook up the wire tone then use tone receiver to trace. No need to use multi meter. You can pickup the wire your tone generator is connected to out of a bundle.

Jimmy, you may be doing this backwards. Start from the other end, and put the signal on the wire (Tone). Use the schematic to locate all the wires which are intended to get to the C/B pannel. Then, check the rats nest of CB wires, one by one. ;) This may be a little easier. Also, whenever you locate a wire 'end' away from the Flight Station, put a tone on it, and try and track it, and confirm it against the documentation. all the best! Brian OConnor N32693

[@grayrabbit2211]

I was going to suggest similar - use a tone probe and multiple tone sender units set with different tones to locate wires. Then ohm them out for confirmation. It will save you a ton of time.

As an ex-electronic/electrical engineer, I feel your pain on the wiring. Especially as none of the wiring is colour coded, from what I could see.

Wow I am impressed! You guys have come so far in a relatively short time. Keep it going and this baby will be in the air once again.
