Starting to look into an overhaul for my IO-550-G. Some shops have said they won't even quote or commence an overhaul because the cylinders (I think the part no. is 655474) are not available and they don't really know when they will become available. Has anyone else encountered this? Any advice?

Got a Golden Retriever puppy. He is going to be pretty big. Anyone here fly with their large dogs? How's it go? Do you put them in the back seat? How do you get them on and off?

Could make your first stop at KAEG -- Double Eagle, Albuquerque. Then skirt just south of the Rockies.

Thanks! I Should have searched for this first!

Flying from SoCal to Aspen this weekend. Any words of wisdom?

The part about the wrist watches? I figured that sales of the other single engine high performance retractable was the more relevant data point.

How many people is that?

Anyone going? This will be my first time. Tips and recommendations would be appreciated!

See you in Madison!

Me too. Both tanks. Hangs up at exactly 30 gallons for good while, then starts reading accurately again.

1. Mixture rich 2. Throttle in about one inch 3. Low boost 15 seconds, then off 4. Crank ignition and pray 5. Throttle back quickly to 1000 rpm after it catches

Got someone's voice-mail. But whose? And will they know whether 4V1 has fuel? Thanks.

Can anyone confirm there is avgas at this field? Fltplan.com says no, skyvector.com says yes. Thanks.

Pete, would you say you bounced because you touched down going too fast and the plane wasn't done flying, or did you bleed off the speed too high above the ground and drop it in? Was it the speed or the high flare?

Got about 1500 hours on my Continental IO-550. TBO is 2,000 hours or 12 years. I'm at about 16 years and everything seems fine. Should I be thinking about an overhaul just because of the age of the engine? Curious if some of you have gotten well past 12 years before overhaul. Thanks.
