  1. Just picked up the aircraft after the installation of the JPI 830. I can only say it's....OK. The MP and Tach have a large enough display area and the CHT and EGT's do as well. But the rest of the information takes reading glasses and I have GREAT Vision! I noticed the oil temp reading was about 25°F difference from the factor gauge as compared to the JPI (higher). Shop told me the probes are at different pickup points on the engine creating the D/T. Any opinions on that? Rick
  2. This is going to be a questionable response but it WORKS. Go Jo hand cleaner mixed with soft scrub. This combination deep cleans and polishes better that ANTYHING I have ever seen. Removes bugs, oxidation and leaves a luster. Rick
  3. Looking for opinions..... Just pulled the trigger on a JPI 830. Was thinking just to the left of the 530 in a portrait mode. Looking at panel pictures on the web I see a lot of folks go with that position but in a landscape configuration. Are there any advantages of one over the other??? Thanks in advance..... Rick
  4. They are a PITA to remove and replace. Take the seats out and get comfortable. Pump in cold air! Just keep telling yourself, THIS IS POSSIBLE....! Rick
  5. Flew today and noticed the Vac Warn, 1 amp breaker tripped. Would not reset. Started the standby pump and can hear it coming on. Any ideas to why the breaker is tripped. What device or devices are in this circuit? Weak breaker????? Why would the Vac Warn breaker trip when the Standby Vac system is NOT in use? BTW....I have solid Vac on the system with the engine driven pump....all good. Thanks in advance for any advice! Rick 377JF
  6. I sent it To Bevans. Spoke with Tom and he took me through their repair process. Sounds like good people to work with! We'll see soon!!! Thanks everyone! Rick
  7. Any recommendations on getting a KX 155 serviced. I think its the display but don't know for sure. Looks like $2,250 is the going rate to change the display. I'm in the Southeast and looking for the closest most reputable service center. Thanks Rick
  8. Thank you! I would have NEVER looked there! Rick
  9. Hello All.... Looking for a part # and location of the Airspeed safety interlock. I cannot find it anywhere in the Parts Manual. Just recently in a Gear Retraction test we were able to raise the gear without flowing Air in the Pitot Tube. Any information or guidance is always appreciated! M20J MSE 1992 Rick
  10. Been noticing some oil drops bleeding from the cowling.... Not much, but was never there in the past. Just a heads up, be sure to pay attention to the Oil return lines when you are looking over your engine. On my Cylinder #2 the baffle was chaffing against the tube and was close eroding through. The other tubes were fine but the rubber tube connectors had been tightened so may times the rubber was bottomed out. All creating minor leakage. New tubes, connectors and clamps are on the way. Rick
  11. Sorry for the delay. If you need more info, PM me. Rick
  12. I apply backpressure at ~65K. From there, I let the plane fly itself off the runway. Obviously the trim needs to be set correctly. With Three "Full Size" passengers and half tanks she breaks ground at 70-75K and quickly accelerates to 90K plus for initial climb. I've used this method for every airplane flown. Not a lot, but enough. Rick
  13. Just an FYI. I used a CNC Router to cut out a few pair. I found using Optical Quality Lexan made a huge difference in the clarity. Yes... it was about 50% more expensive but worth it. I also oversized each visor by a full 1" around the entire perimeter. Dubro (RC Plane Stuff) wire mounts were used to secure the visors to the existing mounts. The material edges after cutting were sanded with 220 Grit Wet sandpaper then Flame polished clear. Came out GREAT! Rick
  14. All I can say is my Engine ran cooler with the 100W Plus over the Multi-grade oil...... Been using the 100W Plus for 5 years plus. Rick
  15. Yes. With a M20C. Send me a message with your contact number and I will provide the details. Too much to describe. Rick
