I had the same issue in this thread https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/o-470l-fuel-on-carb-body.131186/ We determined it to be a carb issue but the carb is still being looked at so I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with it. Try running the engine at full idle on the ground...

Had to pull the carb and send it off. The mixture adjustment wasn't able to generate an RPM rise at shutdown to the mechanic's satisfaction, even at the extreme end of the adjustment range. Also discovered that fuel was still dribbling out of the fuel line with the fuel selector off, even...

Ok thank you very much. My A&P and I are going to tackle this on Friday. I’m sure he probably doesn’t want/need my help aside from getting the cowling on and off and maybe doing an engine run to warm it up, but it’s good to be armed with some knowledge considering he works on many different...

I have an FAA medical and wish to maintain it, therefore I never get depressed. :p

Latest problem. Engine still shuts down at idle after replacing gasket. It’s idling at about 520 rpm and dies if it idles for more than 10 or 15 seconds. it doesn’t die at idle with carb heat on. It will die a few seconds after I turn carb heat off. No RPM rise when pulling mixture from...

I use it as much as possible. I’m not ashamed to admit I am afraid of a midair collision. There are usually 1 or 2 bad ones every year in the area that I fly in. Unfortunately radar coverage is limited so it’s usually only possible within 50-100 nm of a major city.

BOEING 747-8 That is the way the aircraft is identified in Boeing Manuals. The type rating on the back of my pilot certificate says B-747-4. This is the type rating for the 747-8 as well. The Boeing marketing names are 747-400 and 747-8 respectively. The FAA registrations say BOEING 747-400...

I am thinking I could get away with a panel mount because the factory uses air gizmos: http://airgizmos.3dcartstores.com/Panel-Docks_c_1.html They make a bunch of flush panel mounts for handhelds (most of their mounts have the same panel cutout dimensions and hardware) so in theory it would be...

I did it once into Merrill in the 182 coming from Palmer when there were some thin layers at 1000-2000 feet extending from the mountains to about Muldoon Rd and I couldn't maintain legal cloud clearances in the Class D/E airspace unless I was going to do a spiraling descent right on top of PAMR...

Yep!

Yeah, this is a VFR-only panel discussion. I was initially interested in putting an IFR panel in the carbon cub but the factory is quoting me +$50,000 for that ($30,000 for a G3X touch and $20,000 for a GNC-355 and G5). This would add 20% to the cost of the airplane for capability I'd probably...

Ok, thanks for the continued help all! It sounds like there is no big loss if I were to just rely on the bluetooth connection for AHRS. No, I would not be able to comply with 91.205(d) using a portable with bluetooth for attitude/gyro information as far as I undertand it, so it would be VFR only.

Thanks, I'll recommend to my mechanic that we change the gasket on the filter cavity plug! Yes, I wait for the primer to fill with fuel. Changing the O rings was the first thing we tried but it still does it, have had 3 different A&P's, 2 with IA's, look at it. The 10% of the time when it...

Hello, Is there a significant advantage to using the wired connections from a GLD-50r to a Garmin portable device for AHRS/ADS-B-in reliability compared to bluetooth from a GDL-50r to an Ipad? I have only been using wifi from a Stratux to an Ipad on my present Aircraft and I do notice that I...

I have attached 2 pictures of the carburetor from an O-470L on a '59 C182B. It has an autogas STC. It is run on ethanol-free 91 octane autogas about 20% of the time. There has been about 500 hours and 10 years since overhaul. There are fuel stains on the carb, as you can see. There hasn't...

Well, I did decide to order the new airplane (an FX3). Have to decide between this for $0 extra (except I think they could put an airgizmos mount for a Garmin aera 760 or an Ipad Mini instead of the obsolete Garmin aera 796, and add $3k for a GDL-50r ADS-B in+AHRS source): This for +$30,000...

I have about 5 hours of PA18 and PA14 time, so no. I did love my PA18 time so far. If they weren’t $250/hr to rent, I’d have more time. One of them had dual G5’s. This is a very ancillary aspect of the airplane and I’m half tempted to just forget it and go VFR. The problem I have is wrapping...

My contact said the autopilot would be controlled by the G5. Maybe the autopilot was included in the $20k ifr package, not 100% clear as I’m still over a year away from the build. I didn’t know the G3X and G5 could do that!

Interesting point. I guess one would one be at the mercy of the DAR and manufacturer on whether or not they would allow they would allow IFR to be written into the airworthiness certificate of an aircraft with only a personal electronic device as an AHRS backup. Also, I presume an ipad would...

Ah, so even though you have the panel mounted radio you still tune it through the G3X most of the time? That makes sense, because in Garmin's videos it didn't look to be a huge issue to tune the radios. I use a number pad to tune radios at work and have never had an issue, granted those are...
