And the winner is..... induction leak! Two of the hose clamps on the silicone couplers in the intake manifold were very loose. Tightened and all is good. TY for the help, folks.

Thanks, 1) EDM 900, so unlikely 2) Will do the mixture pull / raising RPM test next time im at the airport 3) All the EGT's look pretty normal, so hoping its not this 4) Same, as above, in flight everything is spot on. I doubt it's timing 5) So yeah, I agree its something with the linkage. TY!! G

Seemingly overnight. No other indications of any problems. Thoughts? Thanks! G

Notice those examples are all Textron... just saying. I'm going experimental.

@Jesse Saint thank you for your support of this product. It beats Bendix King for sure.

It's hard to fault the prices really. EAA could fleece people way more than they do. For example, a t-shirt is $19, a bottle of water is $2. The food is pretty darn good, and the facilities are well maintained. Airventure is a great entertainment value IMO. P.S. I heard that kids were...

Isn't it just the best?! Did you catch the night airshow? I got chased out by the nados this year so I missed it, but in past years its just amazing.

Any AP without electric trim authority will have this issue. It's not nearly as bad as some are assuming based on the comments. We're talking about the occasional little adjustment here. I've never been so out of trim that disconnecting caused any unreasonable pitch change. This is in my...

Agree! Look at the performance of the Sling TSI. It does better on 140HP than any airframe with 1000lb useful has a right to.

Did they indicate that the 15 would be Rotax powered?

The apparent fact that this new fuel can be mixed with 100LL in the same tanks and pumps is super encouraging and will make a rollout actually possible.

The point I'm making is that at some point at or nearly below 65% power (depending on the engine), there is no red box (i.e. detonation is impossible). So to the OP's point, if you fly at lower power settings, you can't break the engine with the red knob. In our 182's O470U, the magic point is...

Agree, but the principle is the same. Below 65% you can lean to max economy, above that you need to lean only to max power in order to avoid detonation. -G

Here's Lycoming's view on the above https://www.lycoming.com/sites/default/files/Fuel%20Mixture%20Leaning%20Procedures.pdf

Here's one clear bit of guidance... the big killer of piston engines is either heat or detonation (resulting in lots of heat, btw). Most engines will be immune to detonation at or below 65% power, regardless of mixture settings. So its safer to be at lower power settings vs higher power...

A glimmer of hope. 100LL is going to be a fatal wound if we dont replace it.

I'd love to see Vans throw this combo some offical love.

Thank you, would love to compare them to where we wound up!

We recently fine tuned our Aerocruze 100 in our 182. We were having problems holding altitude in gpss turns. The nose would drop then recover but overshoot. It felt somewhat divergent and wasn't a pleasant ride at all. We lowered the vertical activity to about 10, and raised the vertical...

That's awesome, but yeah you have a 45k airplane that you upgraded with 20k worth of avionics. This is a far cry from a 30k airplane run on an Mx budget of 5300 bucks annually. :)
