I would think at that slow you would have to adjust the timing.:lol: I'm typically in and out of a standard rate turn closer to 1 second than 2.

True, and even if you do like it, sometimes there are greater priorities that still make motivation difficult and even create guilt. Airplanes are time machines, and airplane time is expensive. The time it saves has to be more valuable than the time it costs to get me motivated to fly, and I...

Correct on Preignition, detonation is the same basic thing in the cylinder, however the spark plug is the source of the ignition. Either way what happens is that you see the big max pressure hit in the combustion chamber befor top dead center and basically it's trying to drive the piston...

5 seconds for 15° roll?:confused:

Yeah, not all A&Ps are that bright either.

First take the screwed link out from your sig file. Now open the picture in whatever Windows photo manager program you have. If whatever opens it first doesn't have a 'resize' feature, close it, right click on the file, -> Open With, and choose one of the others. If you have Windows, you have a...

Yep, AgCats are not the most efficient fertilizer planes for doing big square fields,but the boss wouldn't send an Airtractor to that one, "You gotta be able to turn really fast on this field, because eventually you'll need to." Tripod guy lines make it a real PITA.

Are there better than the A-20s? Yes, but not by enough of a margin to affect auditory health. If the A-20s aren't doing it for you, no other headset will. Most planes are quieter than a Viking, so that opens a bunch of options there. :D What do you need the plane to do for you? Motor gliders...

Nope, you have to take the head apart and reset the wheels.;)

It's to make them 'not so ugly', seriously...:mad2:

You put a series component in one leg of a parallel circuit.

Travelair uses a straight valve O or IO 360 which are pretty much 3000 hr+ engines if you don't let them sit and rot, so most people don't do anything until the oil analysis of filter inspections indicate something is wrong that warrants an overhaul. Regular operators run the 320 and 360 4000...

Some insurance companies spring for the full overhaul to limit downstream liability.

Typical when you run these engines on one mag. If it was an exhaust valve, the problem wouldn't be altitude dependent.

This one uses the Renault 6Q 230hp.

No, that's to chafe the hair off your balls.

Number one they don't make the price cut exactly because flight schools make money with them. The other issue is that why buy an Arrow when a Bonanza is Cheaper.:dunno:

Next time it happens, do a mag check and see what happens. If cylinder goes cold on one, most likely one is dropping out at altitude, just looking at the plugs may indicate which as well. What is likely the issue is that you have a carbon trace in the distributor section of one of your mags that...

20gph got me 170kts, 16gph got me 147, 10 got me 125. I had the Riley turbos on mine and would out pace 55 Barons above 12,500 and could hold over 13,000' OEI. I normally ended up flowing 8 per side because that's where the engine sounded happiest and cruised the 147 because it was cheaper...

I was raised by a shrink, the Clinical Director of Psychiatry for the State of Missouri.:rofl::rofl::rofl: I was hooked to an EEG machine at 3 and have been studying the workings of the mind since, and had a tenured professor at home to teach me. So yeah, I'm ****ed up six ways from Sunday, but...
