Mine does the same thing. I attribute it to fuel boiling in the Airflow Performance fuel injection system in my ECI IO-360. So far, after 350 hours, it has not been a problem.

Looks like a KR2

Thanks Mike,

I assume the connector is the same as the stock 430W GPS antenna. I was hoping to just replace the antenna and re-use the cable.

Mike,

I have been seeing deterioration in satellite acquisition too. Where did you get the new antenna?

Greg, that is exactly what I did. I built the ECI IO-360 with the Airflow Performance FI. With dual P-Mags it bumps the HP to around 179 HP. Thee performance is outstanding. BTW, ECI told me I could run as low as 80 octane (that is how I have the tanks placarded). I run Mogas in the right tank only ...

Everyone I talk to tells me something different. I've heard that up to about 180 hp a Lyco can run on mogas. Mark, I have the ECI IO360 with 7.2:1 low compression pistons. This equates to about 177 hp. ECI and Lycoming both say this engine has a minimum rating of 80 octane (mogas). They also allow ...

I used the hinge method and have no regrets…

Ed,

You need to consult the drawings. You are connecting them to the rudder pedal incorrectly.

Brian, do you mean this post?                 Brian Chesteen Brian Chesteen I offer the following comment in regards to Jan and the return to airport proceedure in the event of a power failure.

Hey folks, just got back from SNF. We watched the WX and decided to postpone flying down Thursday and waited till Friday. The facts are now clear.... 1. There was a small tornado embedded in a severe thunderstorm. 2. More damage occurred from other aircraft and debris slamming into one another. The ...

Way to go Mike.  My dad was going to be my first passenger too, unfortunately he passed 6-months before my first flight.  I know how special this flight was to you…   Bret   From: RB Lists - The Hangar [mailto:support@rivetbangers.com] Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2011 9:01 PM To: hangar@rivetbangers.c...

You and Patti have yourselves a future "guy-magnet" there. Congratulations.

CJ, we just may take you up on that offer... But it will be during the Summertime. We are still digging out of this snow.

I do use a sharpie marker quite a bit. I made an ASSumption on the HS skin which I should never do. I thought the holes should be dimpled even though the emp fairing attached there.:bang: Live and learn! Joe, if you dimpled where the fairing attaches, why not just leave them dimpled and use counter...

CJ, Hey old man, miss seeing you! I have to speak up here and tell you how much I LOVE my AFS 4500's. I have had my screens for about a year now and they have performed flawlessly. The large screens are crystal clear and updating them with the free map updates is unbeatable. I looked at the G3's at ...

Chad,

I had heard of others having the baffles crack so I reinforced mine like this. So far, after 165 hrs no problems...





Hope this helps![/img]

Any tips on how to get torque seal on the nuts that are down in between the center fuselage spar carry-through? My fingers aren't that long! Bruce, the standard is that whenever you have a nut that is inaccessible, apply the torque seal to the head and the adjoining surface. The intent is to be abl...
