    Sorry, I haven't read all this thread...........and I'm sure it has been brought up. But popping on throttle pull means an induction leak. I'd replace all the seals.

    Mooneys..M20

    I "think" someone said the "201" went back to the push-pull. My '77 201 had a quadrant. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it flew like a dump truck. OTOH, I also flew a '77 Bellanca Viking with controls like a fighter. What a treat!!

    Dead technology

    This is similar to turboprop engines. The " thermodynamic hp" of our King Air 200 was 1700 (I think) We were only allowed to extract 850.

    I paid Wally $3/hr and he charged $7/hr "wet" for the '46 Taylorcraft. My entire PPC, including the check ride, was about $400. But then...........I'm an old fart!!.....and Wally Olson was a saint.

    Is there a test to find out if you had chicken pox? I can't remember. Although, I have had the two doses of the shingles vaccine.
