  1. Without looking at the log, I THINK it has about 400 hours on it. It's a McCauly 3-blade. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  2. I have oil-filled props. One is leaking and needs to be resealed. The oil WILL leak at some time. The grease filled MAY leak. No corrosion with oil-filled though. Eddy current inspection is a non-event. If you don't want the hassle, put a "B" hub on it. Personally, to me, it's not worth the expense. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  3. It's actually a video, if you play it, you will see the number 6 EGT on the left engine bouncing around. If this is kind of what you're experiencing, I would say without a doubt it's a probe. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  4. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TyMPfZ7QCtJhWdKT6 Does it look like this? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  5. Was it cold when you had the problem? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  6. The problem probably lies in your up limit switch. Each switch is a double pole, normally open and normally closed. It sounds like the normally open position is failed as that's the one that drives the light. IIRC Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  7. The LED strip lights okay. You can see the top instruments fine, but the bottom ones are really tough. I had the fiber lights in my Mooney and absolutely love them. They will be going in my 310. I have looked for all kinds of ways to light the cockpit inexpensively, but really have found none that are worth pursuing. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  8. Can't go wrong with a EDM-900 Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  9. The reason you can't find a wiring diagram for your 75 is because there is none. Your airplane is one of the transition airplanes Mooney was experimenting on with various systems before the J model came out. Your plane will have things that neither the vintage nor the J model has. For instance, your four warning lights in the glare shield. I took pictures of my wiring diagram that came with my airplane and found it to be pretty close. Hopefully this will help you. https://photos.app.goo.gl/jSufrHhoKAEqbVzZ7 Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

  11. Put the gear handle up at the beginning of the takeoff roll and let the squat switch take care of it. [Obviously this a joke]. Sometimes I have to clarify. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  12. I would say, occasionally. If it's your home field, a different airframe might be in order. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  13. I've heard tiger piss and kerosene in a 50-50 mix is the best thing to use. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  14. I like the light colored panel. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  15. Yep, my F model used to do that. I disconnected the trim and reset it to where it was supposed to be. Problem solved [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  16. Next project:. 1956 Cessna 310! +20kt gain! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  17. Roll inverted and pull... She'll come down! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  18. Talk to Poplar Grove Airmotive in Poplar Grove Illinois. C77. VERY knowledgeable and esteemed engine shop. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  19. No doubt a 182 is a good plane. Forgiving, docile, fast enough to travel in and a good hauler. Of course, the average price tag reflects that. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  20. Wait. You mean to tell me that if we put Avionics that are not from the '50s and TSO but rather experimental type Avionics they give us good situational awareness and weather information it increases safety? Wow, who knew? FAA, reducing the pilot population one accident at a time. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  21. Stop picking your rotation speed and give the airplane what it wants... Air under the wings! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  22. SWTA Had them at a reasonable price a while back. I don't know if they still do, but it might be a place to consider. Something else to try: www.stockmarket.aero Put in the part number you were trying to find, and it will scour a lot of places to try to find it. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  23. My neighbor has a Travelair. Loves the thing. I'm jealous of his fuel burn and he of my speed... [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
  24. It all comes down to knowing the beast that you operate. Operated incorrectly, you're absolutely right. Operated correctly, the safety factor is infinitely better than a single. If I am light, my 310 will climb at about 800 FPM on a single engine. If I am heavy, it will climb about 300 FPM. This is a far cry from taking a dirt nap. Contrary to the wives tales, the multi-engine accident rate is not the highest at takeoff, but rather, single engine approaches. This is usually due to the pilot being in way over his head (read multiple factors). Again, training and understanding the beast that you operate. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
