peevee

doesn't help much with the rocket, the turbo is mounted below the oil pan and not to the side like the 231. All you can see through the door is some scat tubing and the engine mount most likely. All you can really do is inspect the turbo, vband clamps, and safety wire at each oil change. First change, our vband clamps weren't even safety wired. @Yooper Rocketman suggested in his thread to check the shaft play through the filter screen, that's probably good advice, though at what level of play is acceptable I do not know. I've had brand new automotive KKK (borg warner, not the klan) turbos (03 and 04) with at least a little shaft play.

yuck.

yeah, true. I think richard collins had an article about his p210 breaking a vband and flame cutting through his cowl.

I did, dumped it on ebay months ago, think I got close to $300 but don't remember.

nothing sounds less dangerous than a tiny flamethrower cutting anything in its way under your cowl

ever the pessimist, my opinion is unless you're an a&p there are no diamonds in the rough, only money pits.

or just buy a rocket already done?

Hopefully they're on a mission other than supporting trumps visit and they're dropping supplies.

don't drink too much rum punch

Imagine that volume of wate falling as snow. Don't they say a foot of snow is an inch of raIn?

If it was paved I'd have no problem with it.

Agreed. Not noticeable in flight. I think it's more to do with the colors used than the screens themselves.

It's a fascinating event. I only know one person going and IDK how many times he's been, more than once before I guess. As interesting as it is, I think I'd have a horrible time and won't ever attend. It just isn't for me but the people I hear about going aren't what I'd expect I guess.

Share your recipe? Scaled down of course.

I'm not going but I'll send my friend by to test one. I love a good rum punch.

Woah woah woah, rum punch you say?

Fewer douchebags at burning man sounds like.

It's lovely in Colorado

I think the piaggio might be too much single pilot

I'd leave the cats and take the dog

I have to admit I'm curious, but I don't think it's my bag.

That poor plane. How many cases of tape you bringing?

I've talked to a couple. I think there are 3 flying last I looked. Just buy a p180

Too hard to get parts.

Why? GTFO. Move it north. I wouldn't want a hangar door to come loose and fall on it.
