    Quote: aviatoreb ...and one would be wrong. It's air pressure that presses the suction cup to the surface. At 11,500', you've got less than 70% of SL pressure. A larger cup may help by giving more surface area to counter the lower force per square inch.

    Quote: xftrplt Ross, For sure, the horse is dead. And, at the risk of admittedly hijacking this (dead) thread, I have a question: Flying in to HGR from the west, I've noticed, about 10m to the west, what appears to be a SAM site (I've made a few lowish passes) embedded in the top of the mountain. My RHAW didn't light up, so I snapped some pics. Do the locals at HGR know about this? There are no restrictions around it. (I've seen another similar site near Charlottesville. Any info?

    Quote: xftrplt Respectfully, I'm not sure you do. There can be absolutely no air inside the cup, and it will still have <70% of the available adhesion at FL115 than at SL. Air density has absolutely nothing to due with it; it's purely a function of ambient air pressure.

    Quote: flight2000 Your seat back do not fold forward? I thought all the 66 and 67 birds had the same interior. In our 67 F the rear seat backs recline and fold forward independently. If necessary the seat-backs can be removed independently. I've had 2 Mtn Bikes (wheels, seat and pedals removed) and luggage in the back with one seat folded forward.

    Greetings Ladies and Gents, I have finally become relatively comfortable with my BK AV8OR and its shortcomings. However, I am noticing that the suction cup windscreen mount gives up when climbing through DAs around 11,500ft. One would think that simply reattaching it at the higher DA would cement it in place...but so far this is not the case. Does anyone have any tricks or tips to solve or minimize this issue?

    Edward Kollin who was one of the principal developers of Exxon Elite and is the developer of Camguard has stated numerous times that Phillips XC is as good or better than any base stock available for aircraft. For maximum protection he reccomends Camguard and Phillips XC. IIRC, he said that combining Exxon Elite (which he claims is a good stand alone product) would improve its corrosion protection slightly, but that it would be no better than using Phillips XC, but at a higher cost.

    Quote: Becca This actually leads me to another question - how do you get your two sets of golf clubs in the plane? Do you put them in the baggage compartment and have them overhang the passenger back seats or in the back seats?

    Quote: bd32322 Oh one more question - is there a red-line for peak EGT? I saw 1500 in the flight i mention above at 3000 feet - and thought that was a pretty darn high number compared to what i usually see - so I took immediate action

    Quote: 201er Could someone explain this "big pull" concept? I was just accustomed to pulling the mixture to where I'd guess 50ROP is and letting it stabilize. The slowly leaning with the vernier to peak and then either in or more out to get to where I want to be.

    Quote: N4352H I love you guys to death, but 10.8 @ 8.5k, 1365/375 never hurt a thing and made Lycoming 4-bangers legendary. Twist those knobs and fixate on the GEM all day!! 2.8 gph for two thousand hours= a factory new top. Either way, see you at TBO!!!! I am still waiting for my POH supplement from Lycoming (holding my breath...turning blue....gasp.....). Great science and pertinent to big bore Continentals.
