That takes a lot of heroism to jump into a burning crash site to assist a stranger. God bless him. I hope the injuries are less severe than reported and the pilot recovers. Could of been much worse. I hope someone is there should I need the courage to fly my stricken bird to the ground...to render aid. I shall judge not...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I disagree and that’s O.K. Good chatting.

My take from the original poster was that he bought the engine/plane in 2017. The plane had an overhaul in 1994 or 23 years before the purchase. You can not confirm usage of CamGuard if you didn’t own use for duration. So many factors on operation. How can you come to the conclusion that CamGuard would be at fault for issue within an engine that was overhauled 25 years previous of unknown operation for 23 of the 25 years? I can only evaluate my engine experience as I have not seen any “large” database comparison of 0-360 vs. I0-360 regarding overhauls on hours vs. time. 25 years seems “overdue” on a time basis. If less than 100 hours/year plane is sitting. A LOT.

Probably need to block me because that post is garbage.

Is this Not reasonable?

So you bought the plane with time on the engine. Overhaul done in 1994.What was time on engine when you purchased? You have no idea how engine was operated before purchase. What was annual operation in years before you purchased? 1995 hours___ 1996 hours___ 1997 hours___ 1998 hours___ 1999 hours___ 2000 hours___ 2001 hours___ 2001 hours___ 2002 hours___ 2003 hours___ 2004 hours___ 2005 hours___ 2006 hours___ 2007 hours___ 2008 hours___ 2009 hours___ 2010 hours___ 2011 hours___ 2012 hours___ 2013 hours___ 2014 hours___ 2015 hours___ 2016 hours___ Why is CamGuard being blamed? Sorry you are having engine problems. I don’t blame this on IO-360 engine at all...

It is rarely (for me) zero trim input to get it just right. It is not fussy or unsmooth. It is not a lot of input, but rather a small roll for “just right”. I think it is great that you have the trim position so well positioned that you have no input. I don’t fly my Mooney off. I pull to break roll based on indicated airspeed. Glad your technique works. I regularly adjust trim before and after flaps are raised. The input is a non-event.

If you do, is it a big deal? Just trim the plane. No biggie.

I need to do more reaching. Thanks for reminder

Really nice catch on a pre-flight. Well done

You sir are an angel and a class act.

Is this Miscellaneous Aviation? Hmmmm? I wonder.
