    I now use painters tape to cover the speed brakes when parked outside if rain is forecasted. Ounce of prevention …

    Any extra horsepower the ram air will give you is eaten up by the extra drag of the hole on front of the cowl. Remove the ram air, fix the cowling, and remove a possible failure point.

    I skipped the yaw damper entirely, J doesn’t need it. Otherwise now days I would do the whole panel. But back in the “old” days we didn’t have the options we have today. So I did the radio stack, then after JPI 900 was introduced I upgraded from 830, then G5 because my HSI was broken, then the rest.

    I assume they will protect against a hailstorm too?

    2 tanks, the 2 senders for each tank are in series.

    If they’ve decided not to support existing planes, they have zero chance of of ever getting this company back in business again.

    Isn’t brake fluid red? Although I have no idea how that could happen.

    I think flying using IAS is safer than a fix 7° climb angle.

    I would guess that the higher you are, the more the fuel will vaporize? I tend to fly above 8000’ when flying long distances.

    Yes, it was leaking a few years back, I had it overhauled.

    Mine started high, but after about 20 hours it settled down, peaking around 26 psi. My overhaul was done e/o 2018.

    It’s placarded as continuous, so pulling power to land is ok obviously. I try not to go below that on descents and wait till I’m at pattern altitude. How long is continuous?

    JPI.

    The engine was overhauled in 2019, and now has 500+ hours on it. The old fuel pump ran at a lower pressure, and fluctuated by only 2 psi. The new fuel pump runs at a higher pressure, even exceeding the 30 psi limit during the break in and always has had more fluctuations, 4-5 psi. The fact that it stops seems to imply something like air/debris/something else that was in the fuel.

    I did, no difference between tanks. Not altitude dependent, it stopped doing it on its own at level altitude after about 30 minutes, I would a clogged vent to just keep getting worse. I will have to check the vents anyway.
