Re: Cyl/Exhaust Temps

The strangest things thing is in the last sentence of what Gary posted where it says to Move the CHT to number 6. 5&6 are in the vicinity of 100 degrees cooler on my engine than the other four. I guess with a single point CHT that would cure the problem of excessive cylinder temps. :cry:

Call Headquarters and talk to Jan. Being a member cuts the price for the STC by $75.

5A33DD51-76A3-4D59-8E8D-85C30C3B9E49.jpeg I had been wondering where to mount the temp sensor, and saw this one at convention. I think its’s 170taildraggers. Looked like a great spot as it’s above the lift strut and you’d have to try real hard to hit your head on it. When we started the install I w...

Re: aviation weather web sites.

Storm watching with ForeFlight works better than anything else I’ve found. Radar and AWOS combined with the handy measuring tool. When I get the screenshot small enough for the forum to accept the details all go away. :roll: I can easily see that the eye is about 100 miles away from our Cajun buddy ...

Re: aviation weather web sites.

ForeFlight has that feature, and you can click on the airport and get the full AWOS report and most any other info about an airport you might want.

Re: CFI with 170B time in CT?

Have you looked here? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5593
I scrolled thru the 5 pages of 170 qualified CFIs and didn't find anyone in CT but there are a few in the NE. Maybe some of them could give you a lead. Good luck

Going thru an old photo album (remember those) I found this pic from the day I met Jim Wildharbor June 3, 1984 @ Bourland Field in Texas. The Texas group had gone to the Pate Museum of Transportation which closed in 2009.

Re: uAvionix AV-30-C

Brian thanks for the pics and answering Jim’s question which was my next question. I ordered the AV30 and tailbeaconX in April and it doesn’t look like I’ll get until August. The AV30 has been out of stock but they won’t give the discount on the pair unless they ship at the same time and the STC for...

Upholstery Diet?

The last three years at annual time I have threatened to put my back seat on a diet as I have to remove the front seat backs to get the front seats far enough back for removal. When I took it out this year I put it on the scales and was surprised when the scale balanced at 34 lbs. About the same tim...
