All,

Once again seeking input/experience.  After reading Mike Busch's article =
in Flying magazine regarding compression checks I am convinced that also =
conducting a visual inspection of the cylinders is wise.  Furthermore, I =
like the idea of recording it for year to year comparison.  I emailed =
Mike on his recommendation and although he recommended a local EAA =
chapter purchase the $1,000 SnapOn model to share, it will not work for =
me where I am at.  Plus like most of us, no-one takes care of your tools =
like you do. =20

After visiting a few of the typical online aviation shops I am =
considering the ATS model as it seems to be adapted for aviation use =
rather than a run of the mill automobile:

Does anyone have experience with using these?  Also trying to decide 1 =
or 3 meter length.  The one meter would be easier for the engine =
inspection but the three meter has possibility for running under floor =
boards, behind the instrument panel or maybe in the tail.

Thanks

George
