Do you know why these guys can get away with it and not the oil companies? I wonder what loophole was leveraged.

Thanks for adding that. I would be shocked if the TCP being sold for this purpose and the TCP in MMO included the specific neurotoxic isomers. I’m thinking they separate those out and sell isomers that are not harmful. Of course it would be better if I provided the links, but I provided search...

I apologized as above. Again, my initial post was not directed to you to begin with. I included two sources of information. One is what can be considered a chronicle on the topic of starter adapters on Beechtalk. The second source is the article on the Lycoming additive which I never said had...

PS I will correct myself in that my reply about the starter adapter mechanism should not be directed to you. I combined you with someone else. I apologize for that, but my initial post was not directed to you to begin with.

They are pertinent. I suggested that you look up the mechanism of the slippage (and pointed you in a particular direction) precisely because of the text that you bolded which I had read previously (as well as the entire thread). No one has to believe me or you or anyone that has replied to this...

I cannot and never pretended to know what was on anyone’s mind. I only stated that Camguard was blamed for things that the Lycoming additive are known to do. In reviewing multiple (MULTIPLE) threads about this subject dating back to more than a decade on this forum and others, I have seen this...

No one can offer a mechanism for how Camguard causes Continental starter adapters to slip because there isn’t one. No one can offer a mechanism for how Camguard can cause elevated Copper levels because there isn’t one. Camguard and the Lycoming LW-16702 additives are two completely different...

How much did it drift?

His PS Engineering video is as amazing as it gets. Check it out if you haven’t already.

Keep posting, doc! Don’t listen to the trolls.

The most recent video with the baggage door presents a learning point. The OP made an error during pre-flight. Let's all learn from it. I just rewatched the open door video. At around 10:15 on that video, his wife closes the door, and the OP notices that it's not latched. He then has it...

If you're saying that you would declare an emergency to get left turns only to the busier airport nearer to the pilot, then I agree with you. On the other hand, the pilot felt safer continuing straight so as to not changing anything. Now that I have read your response and seen this video, an...

I understand questioning the decision to not call ATC sooner. But honestly, what more were they going to do for you? Were they going to extend their magical hand and close the door for you, or were they going to alert the authorities that something might fall onto an unknown point on the...

This is in fact the case with the Piper Dakota. I believe that Piper was considering a Dakota 2 without the restriction.

That’s exactly what I was trying to say. You *can* run it through emulation. The reason for the Windows CD is to install the operating system within VMWare Fusion.

I use VMware fusion loaded with Windows 98 on an iMac. Just mentioning this as a possibility. As long as you have a windows 98 CD or something from around that generation, you can run it through emulation.

It is not a $10k problem when you take installation costs into account. Think double that.

Are you ok with what seems to be essentially no IFR capability? It is probably cheaper to buy the plane with everything installed than it is to do it yourself. On the other hand, if you are willing to spend the money you can make everything just the way you want.

I wanted a 4 place aircraft that could really seat 4 adults and bags flying over 130 knots with the range to cross a few states. That led me to my Piper Dakota, and I’m happy. I could have settled for a 172, Cherokee 180 or Archer by rationalizing that I’d only want to fly 4 adults once per...
