probably true, but, it works within 5 or 6 blades every time. Guess you could just crank with the pump on till it starts.

i do exactly as you've been told, hot start, if that doesn't work, flood it.

I'm taking mine to a sweet upholstery shop that handles my cars. planning on a peanut butter quilted look, maybe peanut butter seating with black sides, kinda like the new denali ultimate

this, do this

can you just get rid of the eletrics and put in manual control? I only have an E with manual cowl flaps, can't even imagine how making it electric improves things

yeah but it's still a Honda Civic

always flaps, well unless i'm doing a no flaps landing 8) flap ext speed is > gear speed

I'm doing the electroaire switch at annual. As for space, i seem to remember someone on MS removing the switches from the electroaire assembly and installing them directly into the panel. my guess, you might be able to have your IA source and install standard switches

wth, mine popped open a few times due to bad latches, it's NOT exciting at all

are you guys really gonna let me get away with calling that Ford a dog, omg, what has the world come to. had a thought, don't fault me8) what if i used fuel as a coolant in an aircraft engine? just thinking, running out is kinda the last thing you want to do anyway. just thinking no extra fluids to carry, no fuel freezing and possible deicing depending on how you rout the lines.

i used to run essentially a ford escort(ish) on the autobahn wot all the time, can't remember the name of the car but it was def a 2.3 cylinder 4 banger, did like 130 mph flat out. it was german so they build them a bit different for that market

i remember there being a whole room of engines tested at full throttle till they exploded or didn't, was really impressive. look at the blurb below about tbo setting for an aircraft engine to be clear not sure if it's true but was interesting

so as a youngster i remember seeing a presentation on gm engine durability testing. I can't find the video online anymore but here's AI's abstract of what they do. this is only a portion of the things i remember them doing, wish i could find the original video

Still comparing apples to pretzels, in the example of a 5.0l engines, io360 and that dog of a ford mentioned earlier io-360-a1a -- 5l engine -- RATED at 200hp@2700rpm and most likely limited by prop i believe the helicopte version is rated higher dogford -- 4.8l engine -- RATED at 400+hp@5000rpm -- i don't know what rpm just an example the rating is a point on set by the manufacturer which is different between the applications. i believe a better comparison is how long can they both put out 200hp, or how long can they both put out 75%, 65% WOT is rarely even the 100% rating in the airplane unless you're flying on a cold day @ sea level and 59ish deg

more i think of it, i'm not sure how this makes any sense. engine overhaul cost this not even adding a prop and hub, just got a quote for paint from between 21 and 32k there just isn't path for me to think about selling my girl for 50k, better to let her rust out

i'm waiting on yours to finish then i'm sending mine

I'd guess it's been sitting somewhere, honestly i couldnt sell my e for anwywhere near that. the avionics are worth more

tech wise this can be done but due to economics IT NEVER WILL BE, except for the random barely engineered experimental. Now back to when will i be able to light 100R on fire in my mooney

man i'm feeling claustrophobic just looking at that pic

actually that's rwhp in the charts, so crank would probably be 10 to 20 percent more

shrug i never haul around more than 2 people anyway

s&g if was was retired with a bunch of money i'd maybe try and start with a chevy LZ0, inline 6, should be alot smoother naturally plus it's a bit closer in weight. my poor little e would get places before it left

wot doesn't matter, a better comparison is how long will it put out 200hp at sea level or something

tha'ts what they do with airplane engines, if it could run at 5k rpm it would put out massive hp also., no controversy here fuel+spark = hp. add a turbo and things get interesting, even that DOG of a ford v8 posted earlier would put out much higher numbers at lower rpm. someone talk diamond into selling their diesel heres a chart for my pedestrian ecodiesel
