Richard if it has been doing it ever since you replaced the starter it seems like that's where you start looking. Are you absolutely certain the starter is set up for the right amount of teeth to...

Really well! I had to replace the fuel tanks recently though (irreparable leaks in both...ugh) but other than that it's doing great.

I will have to call him and get a look at that plane. I...

Galen, how's the new version of Fly Idaho coming along?

HI Charlie! Which engine did he end up putting in it? He came and looked at mine a couple of years ago.

I wonder how many amps one of these small electric pumps will pull out of your battery to get the job done? An Odyssey battery only has 16 amps to contribute.

Oh hey, you're right Speedo! I have a book someplace that talks about seeing it from the air. Doing that is on my bucket list. There are fewer and fewer places to see it these days. I think...

EPIC trip! You will have a blast.

Perry---

I assume you have the '18 horizontal stabilizer and elevator? My EWCG is about 10.5 and even with only myself in the airplane I never run out of elevator in the flare. I do however run...

It seems his math is in error. Last I checked four years does not equal five years. I don't recall reading anything about a a five year period when he started.

I guess I was hoping for another...

Alaska Rallyer please be sure to post the vid here. Frankly I don't think it'll be that big of a deal to get it down and stopped, I bet the ref speed is very low at that weight. Fun duty.

WHAT?! Surely you jest! If not the most beautiful airliner ever made it's certainly high on the list. One of the best transport category jets...EVER.

I think I understand why you don't want it...

His climb props are 84" and I think he said the 38" pitch would be a good middle of the road prop for my '12. I think the climb version is 36 or maybe less. Better to shoot him an email.

I did see a (traditional) Maule take off across the width of the island as I first flew over. There were some pretty good winds from the NW at about 4:15 or so.

The Comments section of Foreflight says it's closed Nov. 1 to May 1 due to snow.

Greg I would jump at the chance to learn from you but have a houseguest this weekend. Depending on plans I will do my very best to be there. My '12 only has 8.50's and a cruise prop (for now...!)...

First flight oil pressure below the green arc for 30+ minutes... 52 psi vs 60 for the beginning of the green. One would think if oil starvation was the issue it would affect more than one cylinder...

Myskyjeep, what sort of price is he charging for the experimental prop?

He did a great job. I didn't know Luscombes could do that!

I'm guessing he only flies out of there when it's good and cold.

I emailed Craig Catto to ask him and it's true---he is working on it but he didn't say it would be certified by the spring.

Can't find the Craig's List ad---I assume these props are similar in...

That was a great read, thanks!

At the risk of restarting the great oil debate....

I previously used the Exxon Elite because that's what the last owner did. After spending way too much time reading opinions, I concluded that...

SJ,

Would appreciate a short book review when time permits. I'd be especially interested in how it compares to "Fly Idaho" if you happen to have a copy of that. Galen includes some local...

I thought that radio installation only requires field approval if it affects the fuselage structural strength. No? Hence Bob Turner's interpretation regarding the definition of major alteration.
