I'll text you so you have my contact.<br /><br />I have no plans to get a hangar at PAO, they're insanely expensive and hard to get there. I'll likely keep mine at SJC, which is way cheaper and comes with the benefit of better IFR capabilities like an ILS approach that I can even use at night :) (vs the semi-useful RNAV at PAO which is NA at night)<br />I do currently fly out of PAO, though (I rent from a club there).<br /><br />RodrigoRodrigo Damazio Bovendorphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292228399737269839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506065885254040238.post-31552622988455781842020-07-15T22:30:37.937-07:002020-07-15T22:30:37.937-07:00Hi Rodrigo,

You can use a spring-loaded punch for this: http://goo.gl/AkqbZs. There are actually letter punch sets for aircraft and nuclear power that are "dot matrix", for the same reason: http://goo.gl/p7oDwt. If you do choose to do that, set your punch to a low setting, and back up your sheet metal with a rigid block so it does not distort.Ihab Awadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207814198779576601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506065885254040238.post-69292849588727525032015-06-26T20:23:28.910-07:002015-06-26T20:23:28.910-07:00There was no need, for a few reasons:
