carusoam Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Holy cow, that's a lot of data! the P.O. must have been an engineer! Check your #6 on the right... seems to be running a tad hotter than the rest @ 344°F. Best regards, -a- Quote
KLRDMD Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Posted January 23, 2018 Today I flew to Casa Grande (KCGZ) for lunch and back. Since I was in no particular hurry, I pulled the power back to < 9 GPH per side and was still getting 165 KTAS at 6,500 ft. That's in a six seat, 1700+ lb useful load twin. Not bad. On the way home at 5,500 ft I pulled it back further, below 8 GPH per side and was getting around 150 KTAS. At < 8 GPH I was pretty far LOP (although didn't look precisely, the highest CHT was really low). 1 Quote

thinwing Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 So is the twin market still in the tank? Quote

Rick R. Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) KLRDMD - N7979K. What a great Baron. I had the pleasure of owning her from 1996 thru 2001. Building time in this fine machine throughout the US and Caribbean enabled me to advance my aviation career to a Corporate Pilot. I can see by the pictures posted the upgrades of avionics and interior over the past years. I hope you enjoy her as much as I did. I would love to have the opportunity to fly her again. Regards, R. Rico ATP/COMM /iNSTRUMENT/SEL/MEL LAND. Edited January 12, 2019 by Rick R. 3 Quote

carusoam Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 Vibration analysis? Interesting... I spent so much time looking at Ken’s pic... all I could think about was how many spark plugs there are and trying to find a dead one without a monitor would take a day and a half... while not being sure what you are actually looking for.

Guitarmaster Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 Vibration analysis? Interesting... It senses three-axis vibration in multiples of crankshaft speed and displays it as spikes. Looks a bit like an oscilloscope. Cam vibration presents at .5 and mags at 1.5. alternator is about 3-4 depending on gearing. Pretty cool. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 3 Quote
carusoam Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 Some mechanical engineers use that type of analysis for preventative maintenance on commercial machinery.... Engine monitors are getting even smarter... Matt are you using Savvy for downloading and storing your data? I am wondering if they have a way of looking at the vibration analysis over time as they do with other things.... I could ask Paul the same question... @kortopates Question regarding vibration analysis, airplanes and Savvy.... Best regards, -a- Quote

It was my first “upgrade”. Didn’t do much other than display temps for EGT and CHT but was light years ahead of the factory Alcor single position EGT and factory CHT gauges. I would probably have gone with the Insight if they had something available when I installed the JPI 830. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote
