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.

Re: Ground school
You will need an endorsement for the sport pilot knowledge test. The private pilot endorsement that you will get with your package will not work. I would suggest once you have completed the course get together with an instructor and go over the differences in the knowledge test and get a sign off fr...

My office is just a few steps from the shop. I have a 32" TV for a monitor on my computer, and I often enlarge the pages. I will print any pages I need to take to the shop.
