Taking out the vacuum and backup vacuum gave me 12lbs more useful load.

Which radial?

I think it is awesome you did that!

I tried to fit in one once. When I got in one it reminded me of sitting in the small chairs at the small desk at my kids elementary school.

Military bases are always the best choice in an emergency landing. They all have fire equipment, extraction teams and long runways.

Nice!

So in a non FIKI 231 without O2 your flight plan would have been diferent?

It is amazing and hard to believe what a difference the 200rpm makes in the 310 stc. I don’t think I’ll ever need a top end on my Eagle but if I do I will have Lycon work their magic and report back what the Butt Dyno says:)

FWIW when I had Lycon rebuild an engine in a previous Cessna 182 I had they ported and flow balance the cylinders in it. They Dyno’d the engine afterwords and it surpassed the promised hp increase. They say 3 to 5 hp increase per cylinder and my engine dyno’d at 267hp which was rated at 230hp stock. When I topped my previous 201 I had them do the cylinder work and it was noticeable. It made it a legitimate 201 with takeoff and climb noticeably improved. I have no matrix of the performance increase but with the previous engine they did for me I believe them in regards to hp increase and the difference small hp increase can have in the performance of a 201. I think after 200 hp you have a deminshing return in top speed per hp but climb and takeoff is where it’s realized.

I think all of us that have the 310hp STC would say where the extra hp shines is take off and climb not in cruise. What is the difference in a M20G vs M20F? I think that would be a good comparison of what 20hp does. Both mid bodies, similar aerodynamics with 20hp difference.

Did you go full rich mixture on your missed? You mentioned you recently overhauled the engine. Have yourTakeoff fuel flows been correct?

Look forward to flying faster and smoother!

The enroute IFR chart on Foreflight or Garmin pilot has been the most dependable for me. The nearest button in high traffic areas will give you to many options and more than once they asked how I got them. Either way they will usually give you the proper frequency once you contact them.

Looks fantastic!

The condensation out of the crankcase rinses the oil out of the breather tube. Somewhat of a steam clean that give you the oil drops. The fuel out of the other tubes are from the fuel boiling off after shut down.

A better method is using a level across the seat tracks.

I have scratched but not chip my prop in that location when putting my cowl back on. Do you have any sharp corners on you cowl that could have done that? Just an idea.

I would guess a dead stick also. That far off the runway and an untouched blade. Maybe survived the impossible turn?

This is exactly why I bought a non G1000 Mooney!

I the keyboard challenged of the group:) I was of the understanding that this is a factory configuration for the IO-360 for the helicopters? or are they running those on STC's as well?

@Hyett6420 So you really don’t feel left out here a couple of @Marauder boys!

Diagram shows it going back to the tank selected.

Im thinking a couple of these!

It doesn’t look like it would have mattered if it was a fine wire or massive with this failure. The center electrode is gone not the fine wire ground electrode.

Took a beautiful hike to remember the soldiers that died for our freedom!
