Destroyed engine

[Datadriver]

Never built an airplane, I'm guessing.

I'm still building and had my first engine run a while back, I have a 28V system.

I think their culture is much more caring and considerate of others, rather than "me me me", which probably has a lot to do with it.

The word is, compliant.

 

[bflynn]

I did not get the joke.

Referencing earlier threads that running the engine with the cowling off provides insufficient cooling, which will destroy the engine.

 

[Katamarino]

The word is, compliant.

Mmm, keep telling yourself that.

Pretty sure only the vaxxed are wearing masks these days.

You'd be wrong on that. Everyone I know that is vaxxed is NOT wearing them.

 

[PaulS]

I do see a lot of people who aren't vaxxed wearing them though, younger kids mainly, and some older folks. But for the most part, vaxxed people are done with masks. I really think flight chops started that motor months ago, unless Canada.

Can we please refrain from turning this thread into a mask wearing debate?

 

[EdFred]

We can....but will we?

I thought the IO-390 was a pretty new/obscure engine. Are these getting installed in any significant numbers? Will they eclipse the 360 series in a decade or four?

Pretty popular in Rv-14s. Also the new engine in cirrus sr-20. Probably in more new planes than anything else at the moment.

Aha! I knew about the RV but not the SR20. Awesome.

Right, that's why their national sport is bare knuckle boxing on ice skates.
