Outstanding!!!

If Kurts plane was the M20B , I built that plane over a five year period.... Loved that plane....I actually flew to tennesee to pull that panel mod out of a wreck...

Most (over 90%) of auto engines have aluminum blocks and aluminum heads.....the reason they run 0 and 5 weight oils is because of windage affecting fuel economy....(windage is the friction of the oil against the bearing surfaces , and the wieght of the oil sticking to rotating components) The only reason head gaskets fail is because of electrolysis from not changing the coolant , or warpage from severe overheating....They don't fail from differential thermal expansion ......

That is incorrect , The exhaust valve opens every 2 rotations , of which it is open 25% of the time, The TIT is higher because the fuel is still burning in the exhaust where the egt probes are and has not reached peak temp.... There may also be a cumulative effect as mentioned earlier...

I get lucky quite a bit..... The rest I blame on whatever I can think of.......

I sealed a continental case leak at the halves with proseal.... Not pretty , but no more leaks..

You are Mistaken , as per lycoming AD the accesory gears have to be checked for damage , the crankshaft rear bolt and locking plate have replaced , and the crankshaft must dial out w/less than .006 runout......

I knocked off the whip on a com antenna , and very lightly scraped about a 32nd of an inch off the left inboard flap hinge fairing...

SOLD!!!

I'm sure I did , but it didnt register in my head , sounds kind of weird , I know , but its the truth.........

My worst landing was a long time ago , I was practicing landings , and was set up for an easy landing , just as I was ready to flare , I hit with a huge gust and almost drug a wingtip.......I was very rattled , and proceded to do a go around , as I started my flare , it was perfect , I mean just perfect.....but for some reason the flare took what seemed forever..... Then it happened , I heard a horrible noise , and a sinking feeling , I went into auto mode , pulled back and firewalled the throttle , the plane started climbing out , and I thought maybe nothing happened.... No vibration , prop worked ok .....Came around and did an uneventful landing , taxied out to the ramp , and pulled the mixture......as the prop stopped the tips were both bent back about 1 inch each.....I was very lucky ...... The problem was I got rattled and fell from the checklist....

1,2,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,13....are the mods... thanks..

I have a 3308 in my Bonanza , Had one in my m20b , Absolutely love it ......The bulbs are 35 watt 14 volt halogens , You can buy them from sandel at 200 or from a lighting house for 3 dollars each , Talk to your IA ....the whole sandel setup used can be had for about 2k plus install......You can put up two vors , two glideslopes , dme , marker beacon , gps annunciators , RMI , Maps , weather , etc etc ........ Its a wonderful unit....

If you replace the gps in the same tray , with the same model gps , the plane still has a IFR certified GPS.....

For IFR you need the equipment required to navigate the enroute or approach..... A comm , 1 vor , a compass , and a clock with a second hand.....

Gps installs that are not ifr certified dont require a 337 anymore , Log book entrys.... I actually saw an faa advisory stating that...
