A brief search of the Skywagon site says #5 shroud reduces #5 CHT by 25*. That's what I remembered being told when told to add it.

The cooler doesn't block any air. There's a baffle behind the cooler to prevent air from going down in front of #5. The cooling of #5 comes from the...

What about #6? I've had 3 or 4 versions of a plate over #6, also because Steve K. suggested it. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org...

Yesterday I was walking the dog and a Robinson came in and landed at the neighbor's. I was quite a bit upwind and it occurred to me that I could...

The three variables. Balance tube, induction, and fuel flow. But that said, I wonder if that baffle increases heat at #5 or reduces it.

Not uncommon. At least not in my life. Dakota Airframes' PMA fuselages didn't fit Atlee's cabanes.

Here’s a Mike Patey video of repairing a Catto. Google search “repair a carbon propellor” and you’ll get several videos, mostly from Hartzell....

It'd be interesting to see how a Whirl Wind compares. You can try my 200A while it's off. Maybe not the best match for a 360, though.

If you operate on gravel rocks will get tossed over the top and forward from tires. Most composite props use nickel leading edges. Very, very...

Like most businesses I'm struggling to find new hires. A buddy sums it up well. The guys you want are already working. The guys not working? You...

How much does a main rotor strike inspection cost? It's gotta hurt.

There's a busy helicopter charter operator up a handful of hangars from me. They fly R-44s. They have two concrete pads in the asphalt ramp in front...

#5 cylinder baffle is part #1250134-1 or -2 for serial numbers 18502311 thru 18502392 and 18502825 and up respectively. I don't see such a part for...

Yes. I believe it's a 185 part. I never had it with 470s. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

I'm playing with Caltopo but it isn't intuitive on a smart phone. I'll try later from a desktop. I agree that in a scale less than 2 miles GP topos...

Good info! Topo maps were one of my biggest disappointments in Foreflight and one of the reasons I kept GP. For comparison, screen shots from my...

Don't care about warranty so not a problem. I'd rather have a GDL-82 than a Tail Beacon so finding a way around the Garmin install requirement is...

Thread drift. Whew knew, right? If I buy a GDL-82 outright it's sold for experimental use but the box is TSO'd. Garmin certified boxes MUST be...

The GDL-82 uses the existing transponder antenna for out and a WAAS GPS antenna for position. You shouldn't need a big ground plane to receive GPS....

What about strip caulk? 732 on the windshield strips but what about the windscreen itself?

Insurance protects assets you don't want to lose. Insurance fraud is false economy.

Spruce ran out of the larger size years ago. I tried to buy some from the European branch when they still had them in their catalog but they were...

Plot where you'd like the pawl to stop, remove the arch, cut a ramp using a fine wheel (square shoulder) on a bench grinder, reinstall. That's how...

My Alaska-based 180 liability is over double that. Total premium is $3900.00. My policy went down $1000.00 this year and the only difference I can...
