He went other shorter, rougher and obstructed fields, too.

That was @piperpainter, in his red C. He now has a more appropriate tailwheel plane with tundra tires, last I heard. That's what I thought as a new owner, admiring a set of chrome wheel covers to aid in visibility. But I was discouraged from buying them by my IA, something about heat buildup and difficulty to inspect the bearings.

My C generally peaks ~1450°F, depending on conditions. -
There's a mil spec for everything. C Rarions (predecessor to MREs) used to include cigarettes and matches with the (alleged) food. And fire tablets.

I've heard of this for leaning in cruise, but never for high power like a high DA takeoff. In thise situations, I lean for max RPM at WOT / Full Prop. But I haven't had to do it often, or even in the last 10-12 years. Best practices may well have improved since my last time. -
This is how i converted my landing light to Whelen LED.

Or you could go LED and eliminate the risk of melting the cover by leaving the strobes on . . .

Too much water in your nose is definitely a bad thing . . .

I used to have a couple. Need to dig through my thumb drives.

Post your videos somewhere online, then paste a link into your thread here. Mooneyspace does not host videos. I'd like to see this video!!

My Owners Manual says to turn on the landing light and watch the ammeter needle wiggle as part of the Post-Engine Start checklist. Proves that the meter still works. Best thing to do is test it while the prop is off. Check your field wire, too--mine just broke, thankfully in VFR conditions.

Why is it so difficult to find a bottoming tap?
-
Because Craig owns and runs Mooneyspace as a hobby, and he's the only administrator. There are a few mods, but only admins can do this; he is not willing to create new admins, as they can also erase the whole site . . . . I'm not an IT type, so I can't buy it and do any better. Not that I've heard it's for sale!

Me, too. Sadly the Dynon folks left us out in the cold, roo. I'd love a Skyview panel ans AP, but apparently it can't be . . . So I'm left cheering for whoever finishes up their blasted AP first. And if it's Dynon, they'll sell a full panel, too. Otherwise my steam gages will soldier on.
