Awesome. Thx! Would have time for a quick conversation by phone? 512-820-6612
-
Seems like mine are about that when closed. I can never come close to closing them in flight
-
Sounds like a plan. I don’t remember seeing the intercylinder baffles but not sure what they look like. We’ll look at those as well
-
Hmmm. I’ve had two people tell me it could so I’m not sure what to attack.
-
Also, I’m curious as to how much of a potential problem having an exhaust slip joint directly above that CHT probe that’s pumping out 1500 degree heat would cause the CHT to rise more than cylinders without it.
-
34/2400 in climb 30/2300 in cruise
-
I’ve been talking with the previous owner as well and he said #2 was always hotter but not that bad. I’ll see if I can figure out that baffling test as well. Thx!
-
Oh I gotcha. Thanks!
-
I’ve also heard about swapping the probe but most of the threads is see say that high CHT is not normally the probe. But I’ll put a new one in just in case.
-
That’s a typo. He’s I have a Bravo. Baffling has all been changed.l and in great shape
-
Not sure how to do that?? But I’m gonna start with replacing the probe. That builder also has about 800 hours on it so not ruling out a worn cylinder.
-
I’m going to put a new probe in and check it. Will also try and put some fire shielding around it to protect it from the potential blow by from the exhaust slip joint above it.
-
Cruise. Even hotter in climb.
-
Mine is a Bravo and it’s 50 degrees hotter than the next hottest. So almost 80-90 warmer than the coolest.
-
Yea, but I can’t keep the temps under 400 very easily. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a problem.
-
Mooney Bravo. Hey there, anyone have #2 CHT’s 50-60 degrees hotter than the rest? I notice an exhaust slip joint near that probe. We’ve replaced the exhaust recently and the probe tests good. All baffling looks good as well. Just don’t know if this problem was a bravo problem or something going on with my cylinder. Running Garmin CHT probes on a Gi275
-
That’s a good point
-
Always flying. Thus the oscillating aircraft pitch as the autopilot trying to compensate for rapidly changing stock port readings.
-
Hoping to find some help here - every time I test the TKS system in my Bravo, the fluid gets into the static ports and the plane begins oscillating. I have to open alternate static port to get it to stop. I had to have the fluid cleaned out by an avionics shop because it was too thick to run out the drain. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution??
-
I tried just spraying WD40 on it and no luck. 100LL is next. I’m afraid it won’t get the deep stubborn long time stains but maybe I’m wrong. Hopefully I am!
-
I may give that a try. Thx!!
-
Headlight polishing kit cleaned it right up. Thx all!!
-
Thank you.
-
It’s worth a shot. Mine is a surface stain that I keep wiping with a rag.
-
Yea I’ve seen that method too. I think it’s soaked deep into the paint. Does the WD40 remove all of the stain? You think it would work for soaked in stains?
