    No doubt…and fresh off the heels of the most recent LOP thread no less. It’s early in the year, there’s still time to turn things around!

    I emailed them several weeks ago just for $hit$ and giggles. No reply

    A fishing store, headquartered in a shed, that brands itself as fishing fashion(?) outlet for ladies of all sizes, that sells aircraft batteries at an 80% discount? What’s not to like? There is a real Simms fishing store with an identical logo. They do not offer such deep discounts nor do they sell aircraft batteries. Also they sell through multiple retailers and are not based in a shed in Fayetteville, AR.

    This seems legitimate… https://www.storeweatherstrip.com/concorde-battery-concorde-rg-35a-recombinant-gas-sealed-lead-acid-battery-12v/ While I was looking, Rosalía and Aniya each bought a RG-35A….And who could blame them for just $96.99. With such great prices, I thought I might make a trip to their facility to see what other bargains they might have. However, I don’t think they receive customers in person at their expansive facility. I thought there were consumer laws against this sort of thing.

    I have tried to provide counter points to what I consider to be misstatements made in this thread that are not supported by well understood data. This has happened in other engine management threads as well. If anyone has questions or corrections regarding anything I have said here, feel free to pm me. I’m going to stop banging my head against this particular wall.

    If you lug an old car Into detonation for a long enough period of time, you can hole a piston. Your brother didn’t beat up that IO550 because he was too lean. He beat it up because he wasn’t sufficiently lean nor sufficiently rich. When I first started reading aviation literature in my teens (1990s), 50ROP was a popular mixture setting. The thinking being that it was a nice “compromise” between best power (100ROP) and best economy (peak). If detonation is the goal, 50 ROP is good starting point.

    Agreed. I like to think that a full complement of CHT information would have given the pilot the cues they needed to prevent permanent damage.
  8. Shadrach
    No apologies. I would’ve done the same. Imagine if you threaded in your new tiedowns only to find that you compromised your long range tanks.

    So this whole thing was a goat rope based on the previous owner’s ignorance? I feel silly for entertaining the premise that an STC would be approved in such a way.

    If indeed the tie down boss is located in part of an extended wet wing compartment, then the above recommendation is likely the only way to ensure a good seal. I wonder if the bolt could be shortened enough to avoid breaching the tank while still retaining adequate thread engagement to secure the aircraft.

    I believe we operate in a range that is considerably lower than the max flow of the pump. Do recall that the narrator said that a single high-pressure pump could feed both engines of an Aztec at max power.
  12. Shadrach
    I don’t recall any fall off in pressure. IIRC, it’s reliably constant from taxi to cruise.
  13. Shadrach
    Stumped on 4 and 12 across.
  14. Shadrach
    That’s helpful!

    I’m working on it now. PDFs are a bit wonky on my iPad.
  16. Shadrach
    Sue, did anyone complete your cross word?
  17. Shadrach
    Are the 201 gauges not wet? On my F, swapping these over under at the firewall will do exactly what you suggest. Oddly the threads are the same size but the fittings take different size wrenches. You can see that I faintly “sharpied” the fire wall to avoid a potential mix up.

    Perhaps you should call Monroe for a consultation. https://www.monroyaero.com

    We may have done that once by accident…
  20. Shadrach
    Mine has no transducer. It’s simply a fuel line ported off the servo with a restrictor and a pressure snubber that’s plumbed direct to the gauge. would be easy to disconnect the line at the fire wall and see how much pressure the boost pump generates

    Look forward to learning how this shakes out.
  22. Shadrach
    Did it have any tie down rings?
  23. Shadrach
    It feels like a stick in the mud compared to many other makes. It’s not designed for yanking and banking but once you’re used to it, it feels fine. While heavy, there is no wasted movement, very precise.
  24. Shadrach
    The answer must be yes. To what degree is anyones guess. Do you have the factory removable tie down rings? Will be easy to compare your existing tie down to the LASAR tie downs. You’ll know right away if a helicoil is in your future.

    I recall the 150F I flew in training taking some nose down trim as flaps were deployed (opposite of a Mooney), especially with the flaps at 40°.
