There is a computer program that analyses aircraft sound and provides RPM (a tachometer). In the set up, it asks how many blades the prop has, not how many cylinders the engine has. That doesn't answer your question but it might provide an indication.

Phones out shows as pin 13 on P101. You might open the case up and trace it back to see if you can see anything obvious. You can find the diagram on the internet. Just google Narco CP136 installation.

Now it works. Amount of weather vane effect depends on offset between CG and center of lateral effort while the plane is being accelerated sideways up to crosswind speed.

Quote from initial post: "One thought exercise is to imagine that you’re flying a plane capable of 50k slow flight in a 50k wind. Start directly into the wind with a zero groundspeed. Then start doing 360’s. With each 360 your groundspeed goes from zero to 100k and back to zero. Imagine how...

Crosswind video just shows "private" message.

By unreasonable FAA positions and airport authority efforts to comply. FAA positions were the subject of training sessions at every FAA/Airports conference that I ever attended. For the Washington lawyers, everything was totally black or white. The enforcement threat was continued...

Seems like someone had a problem in that area once for landing on ice or in a field that happened to be on an indian reservation

The AD on the bow tie yokes is looking for cracks. I had to replace one so there is some basis for it. I don't know if there is metal reinforcement under the plastic or not. If so, the crack would just be cosmetic but it had to be replaced.

I used a dual countdown timer for long cross country fuel management. With the tanks full, each had 2 hrs and 45 minutes of fuel (assuming 9 gph for an 0320 Lyc). Provided a continual indication of how much time was left in each tank.

I didn't say "an hour of fuel". I said "an hour reserve". I don't understand your post and probably shouldn't have responded. I weigh about 195 when ready to climb into the pilot's seat but it is usual to expect to be able to use a plane loaded to gross take off weight. Explain what is wrong...

The repairs have been a total replacement of the glass unit with new sealed double pane glass. I'm going to take some pretty exact measurements and see if I can fine replacement panels

Nearly all of the windows face west. The house was built when energy was cheaper. Every room has a sliding glass door facing the lake except the living room. It has two, one facing south, the other north. It is Arkansas so we have moderate winters but sometimes ice forms on the inside of...

I know this is an aviation board but there are people on here who know something about almost everything and people are responsive. I have a 30+ year old house (1985) with double pane sealed windows in aluminum frames. Some of the window seals have failed at various times and I have had them...
