Your words. I wondered if you can spin it faster going downhill or if the engine or tachometer are reluctant to pass through 2550.

Is this high temp a relatively recent development? If not, try straight weight 100 and see if that helps.

A couple of years ago I had a local prop shop bend my 8242 to 8240 in advance of my buying a new prop. I wanted to see for myself what advantages I might get from a flatter pitch. The prop shop told...

You can use your EGT to check the mixture. You should be able to lean about 125* from full rich while in normal cruise. I've been told 100* is the bare minimum. Less than that requires a carb...

Just curios what you guys are seeing for digitally reported oil pressures in warm engine/ normal cruise?

For airplanes I use a 406 ELT.

Nice video. Too bad our society has to celebrate occasional events of respect when they should be the norm. My hat's off to the young man in the casket.

For being taped? Boy, you guys are sensitive. With all the tourists around Lake Hood I figure every op I do is taped. No big deal.

I don't see responsibilities but rather opportunities. I'll be able to observe and learn in detail how this operation works and responds to different situations and how they interract with the rescue...

Lucky me. I've been invited to be the civilian "Honorary Commander" for the RCC (Rescue Coordination Center). I spent a few hours today touring the 210th, 211th, and 212th RQS facilities with a few...

Sincere thanks for the reference.

Oil pressure is less important to me than oil volume. The former is simply a measure that I'm achieving a stable output of the latter. Increasing oil pressure doesn't appreciably change volume....

The Cavner family. And some of us who fly big bore TCMs.

I've said all I care to say.

I have no knowledge that he hasn't accepted some or most of the responsibility. Do you? As I said in my earlier post I can accept at face value (which is exactly what I know about this accident) that...

I recall an afternoon in 1996 while standing at a friend's float spot on Lake Hood watching a guy I knew take off in a 206. About 90 seconds later there was a muffled noise followed by a plume of...

What if the case has merit? Over gross isn't that unusual. The plane was unable to sustain flight after taking flight. I drive by that crash site almost every day and the weight being the cause has...

Google the shelf life of aviation fuels. The general answer for 100LL is one year. In the eyes of a government agency expired gas is hazardous waste. Your government probably has regulations on how...

Easy to find, easy to cut, flexible so it can go in as one piece through the hatch, shock absorbent.....

Your insurance company shouldn't be reluctant to insure your plane but they may be reluctant to insure you as PIC. Most US insurers will require a new pilot to fly a minimum number of hours with an...

Tires don't cause ground loops. Get some instruction and regain your confidence. Especially if you're getting into a Cub for the first time. Bushwheels are best suited for off airport environments....

There was an unusual absense of airplane traffic in the Su/Yentna valleys today. It wasn't too low to fly but it sure was wet. I didn't want to get off the couch!

Steve Bryant. Airwrench on this site. Great guy if he has time.

Say prayers for Oklahoma City. They're in harm's way again.

You Okies stay safe.

Scooter's out of touch or he'd bump this to the top to remind guys about this weekend. I'll do it for him.

My old Hawk XP was placarded for 30* max flaps on floats. I used 40* regularly. My FAA float checkride pilot taught me to. That was a fun airplane. Electric flaps are a different animal in the...
