Nice flying Dave!

Why don't you fly over Southern New Ipswich one of these days?  I'd like to see the underside of your ship.  (maybe even the canopy if you're daring.)

My engine went bad on the 27th, so I'm grounded for a while.  Tandem wing dream gets delayed again.

Wrap it with masking tape.  Use a die grinder with cutting blade.  You'll use the die grinder for lots of things.
Fly safe.

The easiest is if you can pull back the center far enough then cut the armor with a cutoff wheel

Tri-Q plans solution is half baked. It almost caused Bob Clark to crash. I made a notch in my main tank before I installed it so the rods would be straight. I don’t think bending them is a good idea regardless of material, but Mathew Curcio is the one who can answer that question as an expert. My two cents.

Cheers,
Jay

Any thoughts. Thanks------------ Chris

Thanks Jay, we had fun.  I was surprised at the lack of snow this time of year. It’s gonna be a dry summer.

Yep it’s still Sierra Sludge/Concrete unless you hit the slopes right after a deluge, then it’s pure puff.

Good flying to you!

Great Pictures, Jim. Glad you were able to get in the air and meet up with Sam, and give us a little taste of the Sierra!  We used to call the wet snow out there, Sierra Sludge. Not sure if that is still a popular term.

Today was beautiful in the High Sierra. Wheels up at 10:00 am from Auburn, Ca. Temp was 51F. Wind down the runway. Taxied to RWY 7 for a departure east/southeast and into the mountains.  

Met up with Sam Kittle in his Mighty Luscombe hovering at 9000’ over Bear Valley 60 miles south. He brought along another friend, Larry in his RV.  We circled the area, admired then scenery and headed over to Calaveras, landing RWY13. The pictures are from Sam’s and Larry’s  planes.

Sam Invited me into the FBO for a good hot cup of coffee and conversation. I gave Kathy, the airport manager (whom I’ve known for a long time, she’s 80 now and still an active pilot) a hug and jumped in the plane for the trip back home. Departed the runway but stayed in the pattern for one fast pass. It was kinda quiet today so I wanted to wake the cows up. 

Landed Auburn about 20 minutes later, came home and had a cocktail. It was a fun ride.

Re: Your Opinion

Mike Dwyer
 

I have had carb ice once.  75F day.  Turned base, pulled the carb heat and the engine died.  I always try to stay high enough to glide in.  Squeaker landing and made the turn off I had planned.  Bob Hoover would have been proud.  Started the engine again in 5 min.  The next week I installed my carb temp gauges.  Now I don't even pull carb heat unless it shows near freezing.

One note.  I had removed the 4 into 1 crossover exhaust and installed 4 into 4 system.  The new exhaust doesn't heat the carb and case like the original.  Much cooler oil temps.  I'm sure that was the main cause.

Fly safe,
Mike

Hello everyone,

I hope y'all had a great bringing in of the new year. 

 

I've attached an article I read about once every five years or so regarding carb icing. 

We all know about carb ice and the danger it poses.  I experienced it years ago in my then Aeronca Chief when, in the summer, the engine stopped producing power on final.  At least it would not throttle up when flaring to land and stopped on touchdown.  After setting a bit she started just fine...by hand propping of course. 

 

The highlighted area toward the end of the article gets my curiosity up and is what I would like your opinions on since many of you are much smarter than I.

The reason for asking is that somewhere in the 90's I had the throttle shaft, throttle plate and intake manifold teflon coated on my Quickie and this article is where it all started.

 

One hot humid day back then while looking down the carburetor with the engine running I was surprised at the amount of water that was forming on the throttle plate, the size of the droplets and the time it took for them to run off.  Onan carbs are on the top of the engine as most know.

I found a company in Indy that did industrial teflon coating, Keco Coatings, and they are still there and this is their website https://www.kecocoatings.com/coatings/teflon/

After the Teflon coating was done the water still formed but with a notable difference.  The droplets were miniature sized and it was like a contest to see who could run off the throttle plate first.  Very impressive.

 

I've never sought the opinion of others regarding this article but knowing the breath of knowledge among you Q guys I thought I'd reach out and see.

 

Thanks for taking the time.
