Re: [MBZ] These are supposedly hard to fly

It appears you have to know how to fly them, as they don't handle the same as a plane with normal ailerons. Mitsubishi even asked the FAA to require type certification for pilots, despite the plane being lighter than planes that require pilots to be type certified. https://www.aopa.org/news-

Re: [MBZ] CLK ECM

They are indeed coded to the car. You can probably open up the case and take a look at the circuit boards to see if there is any corrosion. You might be able to clean it up to see if it would then work — toothbrush and alcohol. If not you will have to find one that can be recoded to match the c

Re: [MBZ] ML550 Starter

Thanks !! I have an ongoing interest in how and why things fail. Since it was identified as a "rebuilt starter" it seems likely the rebuilder failed to install the required fiber washer to keep the armature from doing exactly what that one did... perhaps..
