ROP masking of engine problems by Roger Long
Word was just getting around about a year ago that it is possible to run some carbureted engines lean of peak. It was discovered that using carb heat would improve the mixture distribution. I had a lot of time early in the year to look into this because our O320 H2AD was apart due to premature...

The cost of war by Jay Honeck
Do you even know what the definition of Fascism is? Do you realize how oxymoronic using the phrase "Islamo-Fascist" makes you appear? Actually, that wonderfully descriptive term was coined (or, at least, repeated here) by this group's very own Don Tabor, DDS. I think is quite nicely sums up...

Choices... by Brinks

Wax by zatatime
What type of wax do you use on your airplane? I'd like to stay away from the standard "carnuba" type waxes because its a royal pain to buff around all the rivets (its a Cherokee). Any one step polishes out there that don't require the second buffing step? This plane has not been waxed in at...

Garmin 430 VOR reception by Maik
Hi! I have a SL30 and a GNS 430 in my plane. They use the same antenna via a splitter. When I dial in the same VOR in both units the SL30 catches up the radials always between 20 and 50 nautical miles earlier than the GNS 430! (Altitude about 3000 ft, flat area) Is this normal? What is your...

Lyc Engines by PaulaJay1
In reading the "what oil do you use" thread, a question arose. What do the letters/numbers after the O 360 mean? There have been A2B, A3A,A4A,A4M,A1B6 And C1E6 listed. The curious want to know. Chuck

Repairing Fiberglass Wheel Pants, Part II by Jay Honeck
I stopped by the shop this morning, to see how the wheel pants were coming along. What a difference! All of the wowed-out holes have been backed with aluminum that has been riveted to the old fiberglass, and then fiberglassed and filled over and around. High stress areas have been reinforced, and...

AOPA financial support for Bush? by Mike Noel

"Speed" tape? by Jay Honeck

turbo stc? by The Weiss Family
Has anyone heard of either a turbo or supercharger STC for an IO-360? In particular, an IO-360-A2B? It seems that there would be a HUGE market for a turbo upgrade. Adam PP-ASEL

Low oil pressure, high oil temp? by Roy Smith
This spring, my club bought a 1973 200 HP Arrow with about 500 hours on the engine. Shortly after we bought it, we had to replace several cylinders and one piston (I'm not sure of the details of why they needed to be replaced). The oil pressure always indicates at the low end of the green...
