Not my A&P, don't really have a steady one. But he said WOT and lean it back at cruise. I wasn't sure if he meant lean to stay below redline or just to conserve fuel.

Has the EPA ever done anything that is actually affects the economy in a positive fashion?

Seen some threads on this but may have missed any applicable to my aircraft: A-152 O-235-L2C, no EGT. Tach redlines at 2550, though variant shows: Power 115 hp (86 kW) at 2700 rpm, alternate ratings of 115 hp (86 kW) at 2700 rpm, 112 hp (84 kW) at 2600 rpm, 110 hp (82 kW) at 2550 rpm and 105...

Thank you. Can I ask how much you paid start to finish? Including the mechanics time and cost?

If I need to rebuild my engine - can anyone recommend a reputable shop that does good work at a reasonable rate? My engine is a Lycoming O-235-L2C. Is 21 years old, appears to have a bad cylinder and has 2258 hours. I'm also wondering if I should just get the cylinder replaced? One shop...

This is the approximate cost - as best as I know. The VB is an actual quote. Wondering what others think. Lycoming O-235-L2C Standard overhaul: ~ $22,000 Factory overhaul: ~ $25,500 Factory new: ~ $40,670 Black V: $54,878 Black VI: $61,378 Black VII: $67,878

Thank you I will definitely look into that. No this information definitely helps. I’m guessing the pro seal sealer is something to use along the edge of the window once the job is complete for waterproofing purposes is that correct?

Also - is this the type of felt strip you used? https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/windinstacc2.php

One other question, the service manual calls for isocryl 5603 at the bottom edge for sealing. May be some type of tape or u-channel - don't know. Manual is old and part does not appear available. What did you use?

Thank you very much that was very helpful.

Thanks for your information. What kind of tool did you used to get the window to the correct size, trim it down? Also do you remember only needing to remove the lower strip at the bottom of the back window?

Thank you. Do you recall what was particularly difficult about the rear windshield?

I did try to polish with a oxidation remover sandpaper and lens polish and cereakote clear sealant. It did nothing but add some light scratches. My rear window is 42 years old and is very milky. The sandpaper was 2000 3000 and 5000. Seems the whiteish fog goes all the way through. I don’t know...

I want to replace my rear windshield on a 152. I'm imagining a mechanic will charge 10 hrs labor or so. But looking at the service manual it looks like all you have to to do is remove the center strip and only drill out the rivets on the lower outside window retainer. The window should then...

Hi all, I have a Cessna 152 at Craig CRG. I would like to share my aircraft with a qualified pilot willing to pay for fuel as a flying partner. To act as PIC I believe my insurance requires that you have 200 hours. Plus 10 hours in type.

Has anyone used this service? https://stratusbyappareo.com/products/stratus-horizon-pro-app/ The voice to text concept seems great and I just briefly tried the 1 month free version with a regular microphone to my overhead speaker which is very clear (I did not use the approved cable you attach...

I'm at CRG. My 152 is about to come out of annual at HEG. I really don't want to fly in school aircraft when I have my own. As schools often won't for insurance/liability reasons.

Hi all, I just moved to Jacksonville, Fl. a couple months ago. Can anyone recommend a CFII to get the rust off my instrument approaches and other training as necessary? I'd prefer a freelance to fly in my 152.
