About a year ago, I posted that I just flat ran out of time to post my Kitplanes columns for download at www.rstengineering.com/kitplanes. I had three volunteers that said that they would take the raw data that I generate for the column, refine it, and post it for download. Three volunteers...

My Lyc. O320-D2C idles rough on the right mag, with the #3 cyl showing an EGT drop. The roughness clears up above 1200 RPM or so, still on one mag. It's also noticably smoother on just the left mag, and everything's smooth on both mags. In flight #3 CHT runs 50 degF hotter than the rest, as well...

Another beautiful day. Still more burning up dead dinosaurs at high speed to break in the engine. The intake leak fix worked like magic. CHT split is down and below 400F on all 4. Still have a heavy left wing, but burning from the left tank first evens it out quickly. I squeezed the right...

I could use some wiring help here. I'm not that good at the terminology but I know that and always ask advice, so things usually turn out right. Question; I'm wiring in a used DME and the ident (audio) output has a choice of 'high impedance out' or 'low impedance out'. What's the difference? Is one...

About this time of year, I like visit the ANN site and see Zoom rant about how we shouldn't fly within 200 miles of SNF because of the dangers involved. And how I will be killed just by parking in the dangerous parking lot! Was he finally silenced? Not only was he banned from the grounds, but now,...

While there are hundreds of thousands of beancounters in the area, there are darned few that understand that all small airplanes aren't yellow with a small bear painted on the side {;-) We don't need...
