S-Tek is ripe for an ass kicking. Their rep at OSH was a haughty, smug prick. Hopefully Avidyne can take care of them with the DFC-90 autopilot. 9K$ and it rights the aircraft from upside down in 3 seconds. I will take the first one, in cash.

So true, so true !!!

We should add SVT to the 747 to improve safety.

yep. set power with fuel flow. Thats easier than MP, RPM, and EGT all combined.

Colojo is that yor video on Youtube? Thats a distinctive paint job.

have a good flight!

You can change your own oil, and a whole host of other things under part 43. Writing checks and telling them to call you when it's done is frightfully expensive, and as we found out, is no safer than a rental outfit.

you can add 20W50 as make up oil for your W100, that wil thin it out..

i remember mine has a coat of epoxy in that area, i recall its about 4" long

there were 10K mooneys built I thought, dunno how many are still in service. Thats a lot of 3500$ ailerons, though.

Here are some photos. The finish was at around 210-215 MPH IAS. And we are not done yet, Since the first air race I changed out the "ball on a stick" transponder and DME antennas for shark fin antennas and re-rigged the rudder for ball centered. As you can see the nose gear doors and the left gear door are not rigged right, and I suspect the mag timing is 20 degrees instead of 25. The prop has 1500 hours, is not balanced, and the leading edge of it is rough. So, if everything goes right, the plane should be in the 190 MPH TAS range. Photo credit: Jo Hunter, http://futurshox.net/ there are some superb photos on her site. Check out that M20M Bravo, 221 MPH! Thats enough to lay waste to every Bonanza, Baron, 310, etc around. Big motors are cool. Now wax up those Mooneys and come out to race!

These A&P schools require something like 1900 hours of class time, and most take 2 years to do. Some have 12 month programs. http://forums.jetcareers.com/mx-hangar-p-amt/79964-12-month-p-schools.html Another way is to work in a shop full time for 30 months and you can get signed off to take the test based on experience. Building a homebuilt does not count. Quote: DaV8or There are two ways towards an A&P certificate. Spend loads of money, go to a flight academy and get it done quick, like in a year or less, or go to a city college and get it done in about 2-3 years on the cheap. After that you really need to go and get the IA because that's what you really need to sign off on your own work. It's a lot of time or money. If you don't have either, it's best to find and A&P with IA to just sign off on your work. This is what I'm pursuing.

No way we can get 22.5" of MP at 8000'. Maybe 21" at most

Does the LASAR set include the dust cover you are looking for? Or the LoPresti Hubba caps?

There is plenty of snobbery over in the Brand "B" camp. Must go hand in hand with paying 3,600$ for a strobe power supply, 10K for a set of gear doors, or 5K for a circuit breaker subpanel cause the light burned out. Hey, your faminly rides in that thing, pay up. Only the best.

yes definately say something, you might save his life. some people are clueless to airplane parts.

SSnose $35.00 wheel covers for nose wheel SSmain $45.00 wheel covers for main wheels

These guys did my RSA-5 for the previous owners. Give them a call, and maybe they can talk for a few minutes. Mike's Aircraft Fuel Metering 9406 East 46th Street North, Tulsa, OK 74117-5807 (918) 838-6217 ‎

What brand of LED nav / strobe did you get? The strobe is still a flash tube, right?

The fuel servo on a Bendix RSA-5 uses ram air pressure into a tube (similar to a pitot tube) to give a reference pressure to a diaphragm, which in turn meters fuel to the divider and injectors. Anything wrong in this area can give you problems. I would have it recertified, IRAN'ed or whatever.

Austin, the engine was just overhauled, it is his problem

Try to use an EZ out to remove the stripped helicoils, and then put in a new 8-32 helicoil. I havent seen a stripped helicoil before, thats a new one.

Same here. We have an AL-12P70 that replaced the crappy Kelly. It bolts on like a car, a long pivot bolt on the engine end, and the bolt that goes in the bracket slot has safety wire. simple. Baffling needs to be closed in a little, but easy to do.

I would send the fuel servo off and tell them you had an inflight failure, and to look it over real good. Also check the flow divider and injectors. I would probably postively verify the fuel tasnk vents are free, and disassemble the fuel selector valve. This kinda problem gives me the willys. i would definately dig deep, friend.
