Experimental you say? Consider EMAG. Way easier to time, many in the field. If staying slick, I have experienced mag failure just 100 hours after overhaul due to coil failure which is not routinely replaced at overhaul I think. Also I hear coil isn't tested hot by all shops. My coil...

Agree regarding a new tech, but finding a good one seems challenging. I've paid for a number of service calls here in the past where the tech failed to solve the problem. Seems like the more technical these units become, the harder they are to service. No one I have spoken with has an ECM...

Hey George Thank you for your response. Don't think that's the issue. On ECM's the module accomplishes that role (I think). Despite my username and the fact that I'm EPA608 certified, I'm not a HVAC guy. The only round diaphragm in the air handler I'm aware of is limit switches.

You may be right. Now that you mention it, the capacitor for the outdoor motor did fail. I first noticed the condenser fan wasn't running. Replaced the capacitor for it and the outside unit appeared to be running fine. No error code on its board...

We have a Goodman GSZC180601 2 stage, 5 ton system with a Goodman AVPTC61D14AC air handler. The air handler blower motor is a Goodman 0131M01011 ECM 1 ton motor. It was installed new in 2018 and has 10 year parts warranty. It ran perfectly until 3 months ago; we've been without AC for 3...

If it was an ILS, the trio cannot fly that type approach. If it was to a different airport the 430 can't load an approach unless it's the final waypoint in the flight plan.

That's a pretty area. We took this pic a few years ago near Clingman’s Dome. They were only 30 or 40 feet from the car.

Ron Put yourself in a plane that crosses numbers on landing at 80 kts. Now put yourself in the pattern with guys flying multiple patterns at sub-80 kts. Are you going to place yourself at risk of trying to maintain their speed and turn radius? Are you going to fly a pattern wider, faster...

Same here. In my case they left a box 1/4 mile from my house in the public road near my mailbox.

Usually when a turbine aircraft makes a radio call most seem to realize a straight in is reasonable for that aircraft; not so for my little Lancair. I run into this all the time in the Lancair. Seems many think because it's small it flys the same as most small airport airport traffic and...

Tangent: do the airlines value complex time? I hear multi time is valuable for airlines, but is other type of much benefit? retract? conventional gear? etc...

Lancair 235 would fit most of those desired specs. I also have time in a Quickie. I hear the tailwheel quickie is prone to ground loops. The trike gear quickie I flew was an honest plane. It just had little room, little fuel, small panel, etc.

If you can swing the fuel consumption without it dissuading usage of the plane... I've not been in one but know the wife of a guy who had one. Their daughter was getting married and he took the groom for a flight the day before the wedding. Low level aerobatics over water beside the beach...

Hey Gary. Cylinder swap went well. It wasn't as challenging as I suspected having never done it before. I think the rings have seated. CHT's have come down from an initial high of 420 immediately after takeoff and 405 in cruise to 405-410 after takeoff in climb and 385 in cruise. I have...

Yes, where the intake is. Connect the outflow of a shopvac to the intake, and open the throttle. With the exhaust obstructed the intake tubes should be at positive pressure relative to outside. Soapy water on induction tubes should bubble if there's a leak. But, I'm not an A&P. This is just...

Yup induction leak is suspect. I'm having the same trouble and it started right after replacing 2 cylinders. I think I created a leak on the new cylinders. Try blowing air into the air intake, blocking the exhaust, spraying soapy water on intake tube ends and looking for bubbles.

Eh, I'd get a IVPT and use acquisition the cost savings to pay for fuel. Guess I'm not the target buyer.

The trio, on and off for years. The Garmin, for about 5 months flying weekly. Tried emailing back and forth with g3xpert so much I think they grew tired of dealing with an issue they couldn't resolve. When responses started becoming what I considered disrespectful, I figured there wasn't...

Agreed, but my Lancair is extremely sensitive in pitch. A tiny movement of the stick results in large changes in pitch. Even extending my arm in the cockpit and raising it up or down will result in pitch oscillations. Try as I might, I cannot climb or descend on any autopilot without an...
