Re: Question about hoses

making hoses from certified materials that have a listed spec.... oil pressure sense line pressure tested to 1000 psi and installed. fuel pressure sense hose is made. they are very easy to make, and fittings are reusable so if you don't like the length, make another. using 666, Vlad hose. weight com...

Champion guy

I like the Champion stuff as I have had good luck with them: filter, spark plugs, mags and leads. I purchased some Tempest filters when Champion was retooling, but I don't need them. they will probably hit the trash. I also use the Concorde battery. I get 3 years from these, but they are reliable. w...

Re: getting new intake and oil drain rubber

finished the intake and drain rubber. the intake gaskets were in pieces. I'll probably start changing those each 500 hours. I wrap a spit poly tube around the oil drain in two places to protect them. it worked well for 1250 hours and burns in and makes a sweet mate to the cowl baffle wires. I refres...

a few chips and then no chips

I had a few chips in the oil filter upon last inspection, but this current inspection is clean. I don't do oil analysis, but I cut and inspect the filter every time. I do wonder where the chips came from. https://i.postimg.cc/PxKj2731/IMG20240525160353.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vBGy7yzQ/IMG2024052516...

WW RV200 service

removal with the winch was very easy. I have done it by hand several times but this is much better. the winch was very inexpensive. removed a total of about 50 grams of lead from the crank (we need to get rid of that shit). constant speed props are a hassle, but it saved my life and my wife's one ti...

Mourning dove - roosting in hanging flower basket

my daughter installed these flower baskets and within a couple of days a mourning dove was roosting there. she is amazingly trusting of us. it is possible to water the flowers with her sitting there, but we don't add much water.

Re: small winch at loft

load test .... I added about 100 lb to concrete barrel to reach 360 lb. no creaking or straining sounds. seems solid enough. I'm confident it could easily hold 1000 lb., but I don't need that much. I'll mark the beam, "Load tested 360 lb". the wood chip outs on the backside were caused from the cour...

Re: RV6 - final report- N16TG

corrected, this was RV6 not 7. I keep coming back to this one.... The pilot was in communication with air traffic control facilities during the flight, having requested and received flight-following after his departure from PTK. Air traffic control did not receive any distress calls from the pilot. ...
