So you've unplugged from the grid and power your home with a gennie? If not? Why not?

FWIW http://www.fadodge.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/FAA-Approval-Letter-for-8.50-x-6-tires-dated-3-26-2013-and-clarifications.pdf

I know with external control heads you can deselect altitude hold with the ALT button. I don't know if the GDU allows deselecting the vertical component but I'm pretty sure there's a button for it....

Who'll be the first to build a STOL contest plane with an electric motor? Very lightweight, very high torque, short flight times. It would be a good fit.

I read somewhere that Harbor is reporting...

Share controls? Are you talking about hand flying with the AP on or resistance from the servos with AP off? The latter is a non issue with Garmin. You won't know the servos are there. The former?...

With a baffle standoff and how low you mounted a 13 row cooler on the aft baffle I'm surprised #3 stays within 25*. Throwing more fuel to it addresses a symptom, not the problem. My opinion anyway....

I don't think it's climate change, just calendar change. September in December!

Get off my lawn!

Has anyone added a yaw damper to their Cub AP? I didn't consider it because the G3X won't run it without a dedicated controller added. I sorta wish I had the 305 or 507 controller. The AP would be...

Assuming Whirl Wind constant speed you'd likely use the 284. Prop and governor total 44#. https://m.whirlwindaviation.com/props/284series.asp

Compare to the Whirlwind ground adjustable GA-200L...

47* in Wasilla AK. It was winter a few days ago.

20 in either measure as I understand it. I've never used knots.

It isn't a pitot problem. The GDU's minimum speed display is 20mph, or 20kts if you prefer knots. The lowest tape marker is 30mph but the numerical and tape indicators come alive at 20.

When I changed a 2 blade to 3 blade on the Skywagon the smoothness was remarkable. Three blades on 6 cylinders made sense for that. A 3 blade on a 4 cylinder makes less sense, but Whirlwind makes a...

Yes. My G3X Touch drives a 2-axis AP. I can think of a few other members here who have the same.

Congrats on retirement!

If CHTs are the focus? I'd lose that cooler, close the baffle, and put the cooler back on the nose with an outlet duct so it doesn't pressurize the lower cowl. I've got the opportunity to reduce...

There's no magic to a nosebowl for a wide body. Nose bowl width is determined by the engine width. The cowl aft of that transitions form nose bowl to boot cowl. Pretty straight forward if using cowl...

Do you have any pics of the 13 row cooler installed on the rear baffle? I've thought about changing my own coolers but can't see how such a big opening in the rear baffle could work. How are your oil...

The picture shows the factory demonstrator Rev 3. There's no "typical" Rev 2 cowl. Some of us got our cowls well after the kits and the fit was.... let's just call it challenging. I don't mean to...

Your exhaust pipes need more down turn and added length, and shrouding them from airflow will make your fumes problem worse.

Lots of Back Country owners have fought high engine temps. I never used my kit’s cowl and went with a home made Cub style cowl instead. No temperature issues. If anything my oil cooling potential is...

That's the most useful post I've seen on this site in a long time. I have a new homework assignment!

FWIW, I told them typical Cub. They knew what to do.

Whirl Wind will provide you with a 2-piece backer. You assemble that and bolt it to the prop base. The spinner has a bushing (for lack of better description) inside the spinner tip that fits snugly...
