I went with the Centrilub cam 4 years ago, no problems so for. I purchased a new cam and sent it to them for the mod. Cost was around $500. I used Divico for the case, Rick Romans and Aircraft Specialties for steel parts. Aircraft Specialties balanced all the internals including a set of flow balanced lifter internals. It runs very smooth. At the time Aircraft Specialties had the best prices on parts and I got most of the internal parts from them. They had everything in stock. I also got a few things from Aero-In-Stock. If I were doing it over again the only thing I would do different would be to port the cylinders. Also lifters are purchased in 3 parts. The body, hydraulic internals, and pushrod cup.

Lycoming has a service bulletin that shows what was changed to set it to 20. That will have to be undone.

Most likely the Jpi is correct. Does the cht's, egt's and oat all read the same or very close while in the hanger after stabilizing? Also is the timing low or on 25deg?

I had a couple of composite spinners on an experimental. Both caused tracking problems with the prop tips due to slight variations in thickness of the baseplate. It was only a few thousands, but that was enough to throw the tip tracking out. I finally had to machine both sides lightly. It would seem that with good fixturing one could be made correctly.

I prefer to route them up high and use adel clamps every 6 inches or so. After 4 years they still look like new. Lot of shops like to bundle them up under the cylinders where they take a beating over time.

What about neighboring states? I know of some northern FL owners who have left their plane in Alabama for the 1st 6 months to get around the tax issue.

I used a PCU5000 governor on my F and sold the old core. I don't remember if they have one for the J model or not. It's a small compact unit that works very well.

Same as here in Alambama. A sell between 2 individuals is considered a casual sale and not taxed.

I think he is saying that he has verified that the marks on is flywheel is correct in regards to the centerline of the case which is one of the reasons for the digital protractor. I purchased a rite system a few years ago and use it. I would say that it probably has repeatability of +-.1 deg mostly due to how accurately you pick up TDC of the piston. We write the values down each your and compare them to the next year.

I used copper tape and an aluminum sheet to make the ground planes. It worked out very well. The ground plane needs to be at least a 1/4 wavelength if possible. The aluminum sheet worked good for the DME, but copper tape worked well for the com antenna. I looked at the radiated pattern on our OATS track at work and the pattern was fairly uniform. Other than the marker beacon I decided not to put the antennas under the fiberglass. Anywhere under the fiberglass they will be in close proximity to metal rods on each side and may be subject to shadowing or other interference. Also take the time to paint the underside of the fiberglass with a heavy epoxy. It will prevent oil from soaking in and makes cleaning once a year easy.

If your still in Niceville I'm not that for north from you. There is also a fly in later this month. Www.serfi.org

Speaking of locks keeping honest people out, a few years ago someone posted pictures of a aluminum panel that could be locked over the yokes and cover up the avionics. Does anyone have a picture of this device?

Assuming the basic Brittain wing leveler already installed adding GPS/nav radio tracking adds 2.5 lbs, DG tracking adds another 1lb and Altitude hold adds 5.3 lbs. Best 9 lbs I've added. And my wallet didn't get much lighter.

Partial shorts in non semiconductor circuits are very rare but non impossible under the right conditions (would most likely involve liquids). If you suspect this just remove all the bulbs and turn on the switch. If you don't want to remove a wire and hook up an amp meter or have a clamp on meter available then just use you multimeter on the low mv range dc. Turn on the cb and measure the voltage drop across the two screws on the cb. It should be zero with the bulbs removed. If it's not then there is a partial short somewhere which is very rare. By contrast the voltage drop across the cb under its full rated load will be about .5 volts.

Do you have another breaker of the same size that goes to something else? If so just swap the wires and see if the problem follows. The easiest way to load it up out of the plane would be to connect a few small bulbs to it assuming you have limited access to test equipment. Just put enough bulbs in parallel to get your desired load. The klixon catalog then gives the trip time range for load/temp.

Have you checked the tracking of the blade Tips? Unlikely it is off with a new prop, but never know. Also is different clocking of the prop on the crank possible on your engine prop combo?

If it's the breaker which it most likely is if there is good connectivity to it the resistance change in it is going to be minimal since it last 15 minutes before tripping. It's unlikely you would be able to measure the resistance difference with a 2 lead handheld meter. You would likely need a 4 wire kelvin milli ohm meter to see the small change. The klaxon catalog shows the thermal curves and max voltage drop. Your best bet may be to measure the voltage drop across the 2 screw terminals and compare it to the book values if you want a test to determine if it is bad.

One of my coworkers has a 4'x8' shopbot cnc router that does really nice work on aluminum. It also has a digitizer probe for generating a dxf file from a prexisting part. He runs this as a hobbie/business and might be interesting in cutting some of sets of travel boards out if there is enough interest. I took him up for his 1st ever ride in a small plane after he cut the panel below for me.

I've had a few of the originals go out. Ocasionally you see NOS or a newer model plane on ebay being parted out. I saw someone on ebay parting out a newer model plane a few years ago and sent him a message asking about all the CB. I got all of them for $100, it came out to about $3 each and I replaced all of mine and still have a few spares if I ever need them.

It's either a weak breaker or corrosion on the busbar/terminal. It's marginal and the extra current due to the higher voltage is pushing it over the edge after several minutes. Any kind of short and it would pop immediately. Spruce is proud of these.

The 900 has had user warnings that can be set to any desired value for over a year now. These are completely separate from the limits, but serve the purpose.

I have a throttle cable that is removed. I can fill out a form for it. However the cost of the throttle cable from McFarland was only $12 less than the one I purchased from Maxwell.

I wasn't suggesting you could correct the clearence by dressing up the rockers as only a very small amount of material an be removed. If there visible wear ridges on them I would have them resurfaced so you don't have any wear issues. I sent mine to aircraft specialties in Tulsa for a touch up and new bushings. There is also a hardened steel shim on each side of the rocker you may want to look at closely.
