  1. Byron, you totally missed the point. There is nothing wrong with the original lifter design. Although, since the cam is up in the air, the oil will drip off of it leaving it open to oxidation. So fly often and that wont happen. I guarantee you, your friends cams didn't corrode from too much use. Cams corrode and subsequently spall from lack of use. We all know that. Your roller bearing design is in response to corroded and spalled cams. You probably paid about twice as much for your factory overhauled engine than I did for my field overhaul. All I was trying to say was buy gas with the difference and you wont have a problem. And the failure mode of your roller bearing engine still sucks
  2. There is nothing to ramp check, it's all in the public domain forever......
  3. The roller bearings are not worth the extra money you have to pay the factory to install them, and the failure mode sucks. He should just do a field overhaul for the engine he has and put the extra money into flying.
  4. Why in the world would you want to do this? just put the extra money into gas and fly it. The corrosion is there because it sat and lack of use.
  5. I'd dump the 430 and do something like this: http://sarasotaavionics.com/avionics/gns430-to-ifd440-upgrade
  6. all of those!!! They are synonymous.
  7. of course....who else?
  8. Typical knee jerk reaction from an aerospace company. There was a lot of aerospace talent in southern California. If the talent doesn't follow the move, then where's the benefit? I hope the engineers are offered a move package and I hope some of them take it. The talent certainly wasn't in Kerrville anymore.
  9. I'd give Dan a call at LASAR. They rebuilt mine. Put the 40:1 gear in at the same time.
  10. If the oil cooler is relocated and installed vertically, the oil circuit should port the hot oil in the bottom of the cooler, not the top. The engine return should be on the top. There will be no air bubble.
  11. That's only if your representative is from California, New York or New Jersey.
  12. that's gonna take a few days, I set my stratus back to sporty's for repair of the charging connector
  13. I did that, I cant see it on the network. But if I put the IFD into local mode, I can connect the iPad directly to the IFD. Stratus firmware is up to date.
  14. On the IFD, I go to the WiFi set up page in maintenance mode, I set the WiFi to remote, I make sure the SSID is exactly the same (including upper and lower case) to the name on my iPad for the Stratus network I leave the password blank I reboot the IFD to get out of maintenance mode I push "allow" WiFi when the IFD completes the reboot What did I miss?
  15. Orest has a stratux and not a stratus. Lance do you have a stratus?
  16. The number you posted is for the senate. If you want the house use this number: 202-225-3121
  17. I know everyone has different experiences with different shops but I wouldn't let them work on my lawn mower. They stuff I had to take out and rework when I upgraded my panel was shocking. Live powered wires just cut and left hanging, four crimps on a 16 inch piece of wire to just name a few.
  18. I have never gotten this to work? When I called tech support they told me that Foreflight doesn't support this yet. Please share your secret.....
