Speed is proportional the square of the power. Mainly because of drag. With a fixed pitch prop, the power is proportional to RPM. But on a constant speed prop, you need a combination of RPM and Manifold Pressure to determine power. One thing people are missing about running LOP is, you need to run a higher MP for the same power setting. On the link below you will see power settings for an Aerostar where both engines are producing the same power, one ROP, one LOP. We know the power is the same, because there is no yaw from differential power. And you will see the same RPM, but 3" higher MP on the LOP engine. https://gami.com/articles/baconsbonus.php

BMW looked a hybrid M3 a number of years ago. Not a Prius like one, but a KERS like one. Controlled by the drivers foot, and supplying an additional 70 HP for hard acceleration only. I would have bought that, and be happy telling everyone that I drove a Hybrid. One Top Gear, the star they had one was a car guy. When asked if he had a Prius, he said of course, it is required in Hollywood. He drove his home from the dealer and then it sat in his garage. He NEVER drove it, but could honestly answer, "Of course I have a Prius."

Thanks to everyone.

KERS does curb emissions, as it provides power without burning fuel. It recovers most of the energy from regenerative braking. Another source of power is from the rotation of the turbo. KERS is not only a push to pass. It is used all the time, but at a lower discharge rate. The driver can override that for a short period of time, but doing so depletes the battery, so the next lap is at a lower total power.

Does anyone have these for M20K 252?

Get a Mini. I use a full sized iPad when flying CAP 182s, but use a Mini in my Mooney.

Great Lakes have the tip lenses for my 252 at $274 each.

There are several different ones in the download section here.

That is what I was remembering. If I have to keep the altimeter, we may move the altimeter to under the JPI and the CDI to where the Alt was, move the StormScope over. This will cover the top part of the altimeter with the JPI. The other option would be to move the alt to the right panel (nothing there) and move the CDI and StormScope over. Or get rid of the 297.

1) Maybe that is not the actual cost of the additive. So it doesn't cost that much to include it. 2) As someone mentioned, since the additive is mandatory for some engines, there is a built in market even if the oil is slightly more expensive. And some who don't have to use it, like the idea of having it, just in case. 3) The company decided that people would not pay extra for the better additive package. And yes, sometimes the logic does not track. Like in the 60s, the car companies not adding a safety feature, as it would cost 50 cents per car, which would be MILLIONS per year.

Does the King KAP-150 with KAS-297B need the analog altimeter? From some other discussions, I think it might? Trying to get room to replace JPI 700 with 830. Any clever ideas?

Except in the case of CamGuard. It was developed in a major oil company, to be the best additive package for an aviation oil. they decided it was too expensive. So the guy who developed it, went out and packaged it and sold it.

I agree. Maybe they can get one approved under NORSEE. What I have done with mine is put in on the glare shield to the left of the hump. A couple of Velcro strips works fine. I run the supply hose up and wrap a turn around the hand mike (I knew it was good for something). With the built in O2 system, you need to get the setup with a regulator. They sell a kit with the O2D2 and the regulator, plus a couple of cannulas (they use a different one) and a couple of masks.

When we had two move in, we had LOTS of mice. We only knew they were there because they were using the wiring coming out of the break panel to help shed. We knew there were two since there were two different length skins. They were shedding about once a week. VERY well fed. We only saw them a couple of times. By the time they left, the larger one around 7+ feet.

From what I remember, they came out and specifically stated NO benefits and possible bad things from adding it to oil.

I was able to get door keys for my 252 from a Minute Key, automated kiosk at my local Walmart. Home Depot was unable to cut either door or ignition key. FBO sent me to a local locksmith. They were able to do both. Strangely, both keys were Y11 blanks. Not sure why the Minute Key IDed and cut one, but not the other.

I don't mind snakes. And they are less annoying that mice. Mice destroy things.

Same and same.

And other people have done the same thing without STP. Just because you do X and Y happens does not mean that X causes Y. Y could occur without X. A one of the founders of an early oil analysis lab called all aftermarket oil additives BSIAB. BSIAB = B*** S*** in a Bottle. The one exception seems to be CamGuard. One place that STP works well is mixed 50/50 with oil as an assembly lube.

Well maybe because you in wrong group of 2 wheelers. Maybe if you talked sport bikes or cafe racers.

Yea, a bit pretentious. I like the fractional notation. I have the Monroy tanks, so any gallons or pounds will be off. My electronic gauges have 18 and 27 gallon marks. When it reads 27 gallons, there is actually 31 gallons. Eventually, I plan on putting in Garmin EIS and CIES senders.

Capture one and move it.

You could come up with a calibration chart for in flight. Fill to the a bit over a mark (3/4 or 1/2, 0r some gallon mark), then in flight, fly off that tank until it reads 1/2 or 3/4. Change tanks. Check and note the electric fuel gauge. Land and see with the in wing reads. My 252 reads in 1/4 tanks, not gallons.
