The worst idea Cessna ever had. The copy cats aren't any better. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

In a 180 that flies at an average weight above 2500#? 12 psi in 29s works great. You may go down to 10 but odds are you’ll never need less than that....

Nope, but we'd all use overhead hoists until they aren't available. Not available describes 99.9% of my airplane life. In this case Eddie already...

Have you done it on a remote strip?????

Caulkins needs to post his folding tripod. That thing is bad azz. Packable, like when you need a buddy to bring it? He can!

High Power question. How do they seal the top? With a fixed hinge edge its pretty simple. And effective. How do you seal an articulating door? ...

Eddie, the tripod has pins that fit the jack base to hold it steady. The top fixture can tilt but has a short tube to hold it on the jack end. Rock...

Invent what you want. That's the fun part.

Ok, the sticky-outie length. I get it now. That's an interesting system and a good idea for lots of applications. I'm pleased with mine. Two...

So what do the numbers you posted refer to? I don't know diddley about Higher Power doors.

FWIW. My 180 on 29s has the tail beacon at 8'3" off the floor and the 86" prop tip when upright? 10' even.

You could park a pickup in front of my one-piece Schweiss and I'd wager the door would move the truck. With southern exposure snow melts back from...

What’s the EGT spread between full rich and peak at cruise power? Your flows sound like mine used to be. No criticism, just interested in the fuel...

Go see what the leaning authority is at cruise. That's the test that matters. It sounds like you should test yours as well. What power settings...

Most of us were flying less forgiving planes in more challenging places with our families! Low hours may be a contributor but if it is? I'd look...

I read what he said, including . Apparently they knew failure wasn't imminent. With that established I'd have explored the mixture.

If 5 hours time is cause for an accident how did any of us make it to 6? Maybe there's more to the story.

In Alex's scenario the first "test" I'd have done would have been to lean the mixture to see if/how RPMs recovered.

I love the experimental category. STCs are so 20th century.

Pponk swings both ways. You can start with an O-470 or an IO-520. Or a bastard like mine, a 470 case married with a 520 crank. They all end up in the...

That's Pponk's term. Kenmore and TS call them O-520s, as do the vast majority of Pponk owners.

Why do guys feel the need to piss in somebody's Wheaties? Slats are friggin awesome. Not for everything, but nothing in aviation is awesome for...

Pponk (that STC recently was sold, by the way), Kenmore Air, and Texas Skyways all have offered carb converted 520s for many years. Very common...

How many of you have Cessnas that draw carb heat from the muffler?

It sounds like he may have had ice. Is the drop consistent? Where's the source of heat? The drop from a heat robber on a riser is way less than...

Approval of the box isn't necessary. Use 43.13-2B for the relocation. The Earth X box is very nice. In a typical Skywagon installation you'd need to...
