I stopped mineral oil as soon at 10 hours and went to regular oil

Not clif. He knows everything including the stuff he doesn’t know.

I'm not clear on that article at all. It's saying that the cost of repairs is higher, but it doesn't seem to be saying (at least not out right) that the cost to keep a car running is actually higher. The difference being that if something breaks it costs more to fix it, but do the things that...

sticky situation to be in. I think you should be grateful enough happened to get you out before flight. You did good. Worst I’ve had is a CFI that wanted to fly my lance to get the feel before teaching the new owner and I had to take the controls from him when we hit 600 feet 4 miles from the...

Not being you is hard for all of us.

The dual mag, in my humble opinion, takes the redundancy of having two mags and tosses it in the dumpster. If an impulse coupler breaks, it's not good. I cannot conceive why the FAA ever approved its use. From: https://www.savvyaviation.com/how-mags-fail/
