    Oil Fouled Spark Plugs

    I've got one plug (1B) on my O-290-D that is oil fouling. Is there anything I can do/inspect to help alleviate the issue?

    Resolution is pretty good, haven't seen any issues with the smaller print.

    Keep or discard external intercom?

    I ditched the intercom in my C120 for the one built into the Garmin GTR200, I've been very happy with that decision. However, I'm not sure how good the trig is.

    Best Label Maker

    I bought the Dymo 160 and I've been very happy with it, you can get all different labels, including clear (which I used on my breaker panel) and it has very little waste compared to other printers. However, I just got an epson at work, and it's pretty slick. You can print on shrink tube in...

    Decalin for Non-Rotax?

    Assume it has the same effect, so I'd pose the same question using TCP/Decalin interchangeably.

    Decalin for Non-Rotax?

    I've heard a lot of Rotax pilots use it, but not much of anyone else. Considering it for my O-290. Thoughts?

    UREM37BY Spark Plugs

    Good question, not sure. I was hoping I might be able to at least loosen up the mounts a little to get some more room.

    UREM37BY Spark Plugs

    Now the real question is how many F-bombs I’m gonna drop trying to get this back cover off.

    UREM37BY Spark Plugs

    Just called, they are awesome. Thanks for that suggestion. They are setting me up with a new harness for the 37BYs.

    UREM37BY Spark Plugs

    Thank you, I think I mis-read my plugs, I must have seen ..40E and assumed, like an ass. Thanks for pointing that out. To be honest the harness is probably due for change as well (logs are a bit sketchy as to when they are due) and they are looking a little worn. What's a good source for a...

    UREM37BY Spark Plugs

    I’m due for new plugs and wanted to switch to the 37BY plugs by tempest. Currently my O290 has Champion REM40E plugs. Per all the documentation the 37BY is approved for my engine. However when I went to install today the wire terminal that screws into the top of the plug does not match with the...

    Battery Minder - worth it or no?

    That’s kinda what I’m thinking. Your airplane’s charging system definitely doesn’t give it fancy charge cycles....

    Battery Minder - worth it or no?

    Not seeing the viking on their website, only the Cen-Tech which appears to be a much older design.

    Battery Minder - worth it or no?

    My C120 is parked outside and I fly it 3-4 times a week but I still plug it in. I bought a Battery Tender solar panel ($50 amazon) that sits on my storage box and plugs into the airplane. It's able to charge even on a cloudy day. Might not be necessary, but it's nice knowing every time I come...

    Horizon Instruments gone out of business??

    I stopped by today. They are still in business. The lady I talked to was really nice, I think she was the owner. She said her mother just had some health issues which is why they’ve been off the map. She said just send it what you need re-calibrated with a note on the work you need and they’ll...

    Horizon Instruments gone out of business??

    They are on my way to Aircraft Spruce, may be going in the next couple days or so, I'll swing by and see if I can figure anything out.

    How do you get started on doing it yourself?

    I took the EAA SportAir Workshop on avionics. It’s very basic but it lays a solid groundwork to learn from. It was also great at teaching basic skills and knowing where to look for resources. After that I found an A&P who was willing to let me help, slowly I did more and more work as he figured...
