MP pressure gauge, uhhh, yes. Its a 520. Not actually unusual at all. Very many 470's and 520's build ice in those situations.

I have had carb ice on downwind once, and numerous times shortly after takeoff. I also have a JPI 830 with carb temp. It is interesting to watch the temperature, with the throttle closed all the way, carb temp goes way up, like up to 60 or 70 degrees on days with ambient in the 20's or so. With...

My oil looks pretty bad by about 35 to 40 hours. By 45 to 50 it looks awful. I change at convenient times around 35 to 40 hours.

That's what I did.

I guess calling my Cessna 180 the 180 isn't clever enough? But, when I say I'm going to go fly the 180, everyone knows what I am talking about. Or the kit plane, I call it .... The Kit Plane!

Did I read that the cost of a new Cessna right now has $100k built into for lawsuits?

Modern car engines and big bore air cooled aircraft engines are very different animals.

Kapa is jumping on the unleaded band wagon. I read it was one of the first places to push, err… sell unleaded. It has to be subsidized for people to buy it.

I don't need to see it to say Hell NO!

It was close to flying, only thing left to do was install some ballast in the tail for proper cg location and then get it inspected. But, I was offered a flying job in another state and took it. I sold the project to a guy out of Avon Lake Ohio. I have not heard whether or not he has proceeded...

We stay with the plane, unless its like 5 days or more that it will sit. But, we can get called at any time.

Fuel flow should be in the high teens. Check your fuel vents.

I run 18", 2300 rpm I get about 143MPH true from 8000' and up'. But, I have 29" bushwheels. With 8.50's I was doing 153mph at the same settings. Burning 10.8 to 11.2 gph. I run it lean at those power settings.

Best ones I have used are Leica Ultravid. I use Leica Geovid, range finding binoculars, 10x42.

We had one in the shop. The canard structure makes it hard to work on. While the build quality was good, the weight and balance was all calculated. At number we were pretty sure was ridiculous.

Not going to happen. It’s just feel good propaganda.

The story in the Aspen paper is that they wanted to get it out quickly to get the airport open. The nearest crane operator that might have a big enough crane is 50 miles away. But, with a 900 being like 56K gross, I'm not sure PSI has a crane big enough, might have had to bring one out of Grand...

I fly a 180 with a 520. I have Never had an issue with cylinder head temperatures. PPonks will run on car gas, they are low compression. to say that the power falls off at high DA is correct, it’s a ******** statement, all NA engines drop off, but you started with more. Burns too much fuel? If I...

but, thats how they got it out.

With 8 seats in the back, its a necessity!
