RJBrown Posted December 8, 2012 Report Posted December 8, 2012 Just had Western Skyways rebuild the engine on my plane. It has never run so smooth. Seems to go faster also. Level at 11,500 from Lake Powell to Southern California the ground speed was 165kts at times and the TAS showed 160. It took 5hr 26 min and 50.1 gal. to fly from Denver's Cenntennial airport to Oxnard California. It was a beautiful day to fly. Clear and a million the whole way. I got as high as 16,500 across the mountains and the compass was drip free. Thanks again to Don and those who answered his thread about his leaking compass. Helped make this flight possible. 2
