It has been reported within the last hour that they have reopened KELP and all flights will resume as normal. FAA says El Paso airport is reopening and flights will resume normally

@Scott Dennstaedt, PhD, thank you for everything you have done to help me learn about weather in aviation. I appreciate all the hard work you have done to help out countless numbers of pilots fly safe. I am so thankful for the two books that you have written as well as the Ezwxbrief app. Enjoy your retirement.

Curious, I know he is a pilot and has his own airplane (A Piper Meridian I think). Wonder if he wanted AOPA to pay for his travel expenses in his own airplane and they wouldn't do it. If they wanted him in Maryland all the time, that would get expensive.

Not sure if this helps, but I subscribe to www.adlog.com They do the AD stuff for you and send it to you to put in the logs. $43/year for single engine.

Other than how they get inflated, is there any difference in the performance between the economy model, deluxe model, or electric model?

I just love how these threads de-rail so quickly. But it is impressive for me (I am not a computer geek at all) to read what you guys were doing years ago. First foot in the door kind of stuff. My earliest recognition of anything in programming was a mandatory programming class we had to take in high school. So this would have been around 1986 and we used TRS-80's (The most I remember was reprogramming a game called TaiPan to make it easier to win). Other than that I can't tell you anything about anything. I am still of the school...if the computer doesn't do what you want it to do then shut it off and turn it back on again...hahahaha. We need a computer nerd section on Mooneyspace. I actually enjoy reading these computer history lessons.

And if you believe the decal, it does say Ranger on it in one of the photos.

Yes sir. Thanks.

Have not done that. I borescoped it yesterday just to see if there was any damage and everything looked okay. but did not move it through to look at the movement of the valves. Thanks for the advice.

I do subscribe and I have submitted the data for analysis.

I have an E5A harness tester from Aircraft Tool and Supply. The leads to the #3 spark plugs tested good according to the tester.

I am going to insepct the intake tubing, the flange, the gaskets, the rubber connector, etc…next weekend. Just ran out of time this weekend to do much with it. Thank you for the response. I will continue to post what is found out as I work on it.

Here is a very short flight done today. I changed out the spark plugs to no avail. I don't want to fly the airplane for very long running this hot on the #3 cylinder. I did an induction leak check according to Mike Busch at around the 17 minute mark. As you can see the only cylinder running hot is the #3 cylinder. https://apps.savvyaviation.com/flights/shared/flight/10328542/85e6027a-1330-4240-89d3-54b3c6395d9f

The plug swap out will happen this weekend along with other things (flight test, etc). I will report back my findings.

Same lower end. Narrow deck.
