You going? Your plane’s daddy is going and I’m flying it

We do balance propellers here but I so far have not had an Eddy current prop, there is some guy who comes by and I could probably get his information but I haven’t had to use anybody

I see you did what I did. Beefed up the flange on the dorsal fin then countersunk it with flush rivets

You can modify a Home Depot caulking gun by sanding down the diameter of the disk that fits inside the tube, and then you tape the PR 1422 SEM kit cartridge to the caulk gun and then give it hell.

aeroshell 31 gallons are in stock at spruce. buy those

we just went through this with a J and bought a UMA, cause the factory gauge wasnt repairable. But its not TSO, but its not required. Yours is. Keystone instruments in Lock Haven has a 2.25" 10-50" MP gauge theyll sell you. i passed.

This is the rectifier for an AL12P70 plane power alternator. Easy to swap. https://www.maniacelectricmotors.com/100mm-alternator-rectifier-denso-60-80-amp-8mm-post-inr720xhd.html

It’s part of the diode rectifier bridge. It’s a 35$ part. It’s replaceable.

they're a call and order type place. But they're a lot cheaper than, for example, PHT in Tulsa.

thats administrative law.

It’s not good data unless you do the NTPS 3 track method…that’s pretty accurate. For example, you compute true airspeed off of CAS, the CAS is about 2 mph less at altitude in the normal speed range. And that assumes that the airspeed indicator is accurate, then you got to correct it for temperature and everything else. So I’m not saying you’re full of it, I’m just saying that you need to measure it more precisely and if you’re ASI isn’t calibrated, it’s going to be garbage and garbage out. I just had a Pitot static transponder checked, and the guy noticed that my G5 is reading 2 mph low while they analog airspeed indicator is exactly right. Which is kind of funny because I bought the G5 to have it more precise reading, and it’s the one that’s off.

2021 was an interesting year. There were plenty of revenge racers ready to see through the red mist and thrash their planes for glory, us included. Plenty of fast glass, and big motor production machines with some shiny paint. A couplemof rel fast looking Beechcraft. Our speed was 188 MPH, which was about 7 MPH off what it really does, this year it was a closed course which had nasty headwinds on the first leg, a direct crosswind on the second leg, and a headwind on the third leg! But we overhauled every production piston airplane except a 500 Twin Commander. The previous race, we were not in, and someone stole our race number. He was friends with our pre-race dinner table mates, and when he found out we were there, said he had alternator trouble and couldnt make it. When I offered to install his new alternator for free and race him for the number, he declined. Friendly race and all. But he never showed, I wish we would have run them in 2019, we could have kept the number and taken the other 3 Mooneys in the class by 13-15 MPH. Maybe next year. http://www.airventurecuprace.com/2021-race-results/ http://www.airventurecuprace.com/2019-race-results/

It’s easy you just set the prop low pitch stops to a higher value, they take a larger bite out of the air. It’s like overdrive for airplanes. Also, climb to 300 feet above your final altitude and then you descend into it it puts the airplane on the step cruises faster that way too

What does it show on takeoff? It’s usually 105% or 110%. JPR doesn’t tell you what all it looks at or how it arrives at that value. Here’s the thing though the throttle is always firewalled and the prop is always at 2500 RPM so the percentage of power is always Max available anyway

The JPI percentage of horsepower calculation is pure bullshit. It has you set it up for 75% cruise which is around 10 gallons an hour, and then you change this calibration factor in the menu until it shows 75% power. And what it does it look at fuel flow it says oh 75% power is 10 gallons an hour so 16 gallons an hour is 120% power or whatever it’s only accurate in a narrow range and only for Near peak EGT it’s really kind of a gimmick really

Sent! Post away

I called back in January and they were like send it in and we will redo it and send it back but it’s going to be a few months, there were no cores and no stock to build up to exchange with.

I have a client with an IO360 M20F, with a 500 hour factory engine, and it’s been a beautiful piece of equipment, but suddenly out of the blue, the number three oil control ring broke into three pieces, and it swallowed 6 quarts of oil in 50 minutes. Just the one cylinder

Wish we could post pics

If you link it to a GDL or a FS210 yes it shows that on the ground. But the “built in AHRS” won’t

It’s not real AHRS. It says attitude not available until you reach 70kt. When I called into garmin ro complain I got some dude who listened to me rant about it then hung up on me. it’s a great box but “built in AHRS” is a lie.

9-10 GPH

Not sure, it’s Rigged Square, all the doors close, a lot of the antennas have been swapped out for more optimized units, 25° of timing but since we installed the G5 it’s usually 183 to 186 mph true which works out to be around 159 or 160 most of the time. Interestingly, I just had the IFR check done and the G5 reads 2 mph low but the analog air speed is dead ass. Which would put it like 160 or 161 lean of peak but anyway it’s totally possible

I would theorize a J and an E at the same weight will climb about the same.
