As soon as I opened the door the injured bird came past me and was gaining altitude, needless to say we sent a few hours cleaning what looked like a crime scene and then several days nursing a bird back to where it could be released Quote

She doesn’t kill it because fresh bird is better than dead bird. Every cat knows that! 1 Quote

If you watch that about 10 times, you will understand all you need to know about cats. Cats are only concerned with 3 things, Sex, Food and sleep. In that order. 1 Quote

Other cessnas and pipers I've been intimate with in the past didn't have one. It's been there ever since. Shortest history, huh? 1 Quote
carusoam Posted April 16, 2021 Report Posted April 16, 2021 We have learned... Jimmy has pictures... You can modify the installation all you want...  somebody modified his carb heat installation...  But, without proper paperwork, it technically would not be legal...  call it non-conforming... When it gets discovered... you will need documents that the new design achieves or exceeds the goals of the old design... Essentially, this is what STCs do... the FAA approves it... and records it... Copies are in your log books...  Lots of effort goes into doing things the right way... Even when it is a perfect copy of a mod from another airplane...  A simple turn up the rpm mod... going from 2500 to 2700rpm... took a few flight tests to demonstrate affects on performance...  (rocket engineering) Signed, and filed with the FAA... Its like product development of the extreme variety... doing it for one plane is very expensive... Doing it for 1000 planes spreads the costs out evenly...  PP thoughts only, not an STC writer... MS has a few STC writers around here...  find David / Sabremech... a great example of Product development, and STC writing... to improve cooling airflow in place of the dog house...

N201MKTurbo Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Posted May 9, 2021 So, I took my first cross country (IFR KCHD KSBA) with my new engine. The temps are starting to settle down and it is purring like a kitten. The oil consumption seems to be zero. Not the slightest leak. 3 1 Quote
