Default Showing metal at 1,100 hours

Since you let the aircraft sit for 60 days, is it possible (likely?)
that the metal you are seeing is simply the layer of rust that formed on
your cylinder bores?

Possible? I certainly hope so. Likely? I don't know. Does anyone
doing regular oil analysis see this when their a/c sits idle for 60 days?


Rust might end up in the oil analysis, but I don't see how some surface rust
from the bores would end up as metal shavings in the filter. (If I recall
correctly, that's what you found, right?) :-(

Does a Maule come with a Tost or Schweizer hook as an option? (And I don't
mean on the tail end...)
;-)
