That is a good video and really helpful for the first 90...but it seems like the second half is a little glossed over

I have been practicing my lazy 8s but when I view them on FlyQ afterwards the shape of the track does not look like they do in the pictures…ie perfect semi circles. As I do the maneuver it seems like the first 90 degrees happens faster and more acutely then the second 90. My track looks...

Thanks to all for the help! I was looking for a listing in the chart supplement but now I know better

So if it were a class D airport, is there something in the Supplement that would indicate they had radar?

In the AIM 4-1-18 a. 5. Sequencing for VFR aircraft is available at certain terminal locations (see locations listed in the Chart Supplement U.S.). I looked through the Chart Supplement and can’t find this information. thanks, Richard more inane questions coming :)

That sounds reasonable

I now have about 25 hours on a freshly overhauled O-320 with Millennium Cylinders. I've halted practicing the power off 180s and steep spirals as they are not conducive to ring seating. It seems like the break in period happened quickly and I never experienced high oil consumption [in fact its...

Anyone familiar with Sugarland Regional outside of Houston that can recommend an FBO that is good to general aviation for parking for about a week. Cookies are of course nice, but not necessary as I just a need a place with cheaper tie down fees and fuel. Thanks Richard

I think I will pull it with a tow bar to the hold short line...jk. thanks for the advice!

Thank you! I heard something similar on a list serv for Grummans but your explanation really helped me understand it. So if I keep it below 385 on break in. That would be the safest bet.

Thanks Dave!

Did not see any CHT limitations in the TCDS. I may call a Superior Tech on Monday then just to make sure the Lycoming CHT limitations are valid for their cylinders. "For maximum service life, cylinder head temperatures should be maintained below 435°F. during high performance cruise operation"...

Ah! Thanks to both of you. I did find that information in the Lycoming operators manual with very similar verbiage so that must be what they are referring too.

I can't find any mention of CHT at all in the POH and there is no original CHT gauge in the plane to measure it.

I'm reading the break-in instructions for my Superior Millennium 0-320 cylinders and everything makes sense so far except: "At no time should cylinder head temperature be allowed to exceed original airframe equipment manufacturer recommended maximum cruise limit." Its one hell of a sentence...

I would be interested in that. Have you had success with your DYI unit yet?

That would be really helpful. I did get the serial to usb dongle installed with the UBG16 so I can at least hook up the laptop for now. My plane is several states away awaiting for final installation of engine (hopefully very soon) and after melting a piston in the middle of nowhere, I am...

Thanks for the info

I am having a UBG-16 installed in our Grumman AA5 so I can monitor CHTs and EGT's --I toyed with the idea of getting the CGR30P... as in had it in the cart and hovering over the check out button but decided I would rather use the price delta towards an IFR GPS... First question is regarding the...

That was my solution as well. I used painters tape and kept tweaking it to fit my view.
