There’s no debate: back pressure always reduces engine performance and is not needed.

But I can’t say if losing the flame cones makes a meaningful performance difference here.

We use the CEP earbuds plus full helmets at work. They’re good at blocking turbine helo noises and letting the coms come in clean.

I’m a huge fan of mine. Buy the higher option one, even if you’re not sure you’re going to add all the features. It’s...

I’ve got some 4 pulse whelen strobes that I love. I thought about switching to LEDs but never saw anything that seemed as eye-catching.

No issues with this one. Charges my iPad while the screen is on. No radio noise, either.

I have no direct experience (yet?) but I had a long talk with my FSDO. The annual program letter (which isn’t approved or disapproved by the FAA, just received and filed) spells out the operations...

I’d imagine with that much flap that you’d be good with a smaller fish-mouth angle. When you deploy the flaps the effective chord line of the wing changes and it’ll change the angle between the wing...

They honestly look pretty similar to me. I guess the...

Yeah, agreed on the complexity - that’s why I’d plan a quick-build kit!

For me though that decision point is a number of years away. My kids won’t even get to college for another 15/17 years or so.

That’s good to hear, actually. I just did a short oil change after a long period of inactivity and I was shocked how dark that oil with only ~6 hours on it was. Looked much worse in the sample jar...

No worries!

And no thanks, I think if I build it’ll be a 4 or 5 place in a kit. I like putting stuff together but I like flying, too. A QB kit costs more but would get me flying a lot faster.

Have you thought about the Bearhawk line?

I’m not trying it for any power gain. In automotive race applications folks are playing a game of cumulative small gains.

I’m just sick of wiping up oil from everything whenever I remove the cowl....

I ordered one last night as well

I think you’re the one that told me about the marine stabil!

I haven’t used it in the plane though. Around the time I was ready to try, the 91 e0 prices near me climbed to within a few cents of...

I had massive noise issues: alternator, strobes, heck even the wig-wags chimed in. Rewired (shielded!) my whole ics system and it’s as quiet as a Catholic Church now.

I repeat the recommendation...

I don’t have any scientific evidence, but my limited experience for the folks storing semi-bulk mogas is that marine sta-bil works pretty good for a year or so.

The red stuff didn’t last as long...

Mike’s got a great point. Small addition from my nobody self: shooting firearms is a perishable skill. Just like any other physical activity.

I might could have run for 5 miles straight two years...

I think all (or at least a high majority) of EFI systems use return-style fuel systems. My understanding is that helps maintain consistent fuel pressure all injectors and helps with hot starting.

I did that once out of PAFA. Luckily they’re prepared for that and the nice folks at the baggage check counter have a stack of knife-sized boxes that they’ll slap a free checked-bag tag on.

I got...

Glad you found some resolution! We all make silly mistakes!

I was the same height, but 130lbs out of high school.

150lbs from college.

All time high was 195, back down to a better weight (for me) right now though.

Anything in here look like it’ll fit your needs?

Maybe this one?

We’ve got a pair of helinox chairs we bought 11 years ago. Super comfortable and durable.

I’m only 5-11, 175lbs - but they work great for us
