HaHa sometimes the truth hurts. As we can see the short days of the North have Nanook dishing it out perhaps a little bluntly.

I like the simplicity of mounting it on the engine. No hoses or mounts to deal with. Just wires connected to the transducer.

I have seen 2 experimentals with them installed in the crank case hole above the #3 cylinder, they pick up their ground through the engine case.

I haven't seen anything like yours yet. We have had a rash of cylinders and rings in our area that are very difficult to break in. A lot of guys pulling top ends off 3 or 4 times to re hone and...

I am a little overboard on my preheat standards. If it is colder than 30 degrees above zero I preheat. If I am desperate I may push that to 20 degrees.
I preflight them often , also. A broken line...

My current 0-320 likes 1 pump of the throttle, crank (or hand prop) and it fires right off.

If my engine is properly preheated it starts without the primer. The only time I would need the primer is if I had a weak impulse coupling or something is giving me problems in my ignition system. I...

I agree with Bob, how do you turn out a cub at 1,077 lbs with full metal belly, vacuum system and metal flight controls? I smell creative advertising ;-)

What fabric system did you guys use? Any steel added to the frame and powdercoating? I see a shoulder harness in there, was that in the stock configuration?
After having a few cubs come out of our...

The Spartan Executive is an airplane to behold, I remember doing an engine change on one in my early mechanic years, I was in awe of the luxury of an older airplane of its design that displayed that...

Fair enough. The event sounds painful. I got caught off guard by the sarcasm in the first post and didn't realize the extent of the situation until the 6th post.

In light of recent posts in this website I am compelled to vote to rename it "PA-18 national enquirer". You guys are awful.
