i dont have a bravo, but i have a rocket. that seems odd. i sometimes i want more heat near my feet i take my checklist and drop it in front of the floor vent and it pushes heat to both sides of plane. most of the time its too warm. -20 is never a problem. i would check your mixing box, and your shrouds for leaks. the only time i sometimes lose heat is when its really cold and i dont keep enough power in on descent.

that had to be a few minutes of thinking pretty hard don!

ahhhh thats too bad. I wonder how bad the damage is. either way insurance will prob scrap it if that prop hit which I imagine it would. since I joined this website I have been so diligent about gear down I must check it at least 3x it starts and ends my landing checklist and then I check again for good measure.

amazing. you would think you might notice that if your "proficient".

i own a rocket. what don kaye is probably more accurate than we want to believe. here is an example not including any upgrades, squawks, or oil changes: annual inspection* call it 5k (the guys posting about cheap annuals are not doing what is supposed to be done unless they are doing the work themselves i would have concerns. just the time is takes to remove and re install the inspection panels properly and actually inspect is more than you would think until you do it.) hangar 5.5k insurance 4.2k 100 hrs fuel 11.4k now add the things that come up both expected and not. its easy to exceed dons number. new planes, planes that have sat, all require playing "catch up" im sure the cost of owning eventually starts to go down. people often ask "does it make financial sense to own?" and the answer will always be the same... probably not.

i recently topped my tsio520. why are you topping your engine ? do you have excess crankcase pressure ? oil on the belly ? or just burning some oil? thats well within limits if there was not contributing factors. there is a ton of options to decrease oil consumption before the top. with that being said, theae things get topped every day. use an a&p thats capable and follows directions. follow the manufacturers guidelines with no exceptions and you will be fine. i found this was the time to do lifters, rockers, gaskets, hardware, and just about everything old and rubber. turns into quite the adventure.

im not arguing but as a rocket owner i can tell you that 100lbs on the horizontal will put the tail toward the ground.

I live on a 2000' runway, on this no wind days and 90* x wind days id roll into a river !!!

my rocket seems to use pads too, 100hrs they are done and its possible to kill them in 70 as I did my first year. when the mid body rocket is heavy the brakes are entirely inadequate for an emergency stop or anything like that. I would imagine a long body would be even worse. go and get in a Cessna and apply the same pressure everything in the plane moves forward !!!

I see, I was thinking "that's more than I thought to replace oxygen bottle". sometimes the mind sees what it wants lol

12k for an oxygen bottle?
