“Most all” F1 racers are also at the back of the pack. Just sayin’.

Re: O-200 Exhaust ... Straight pipes or cross?

Jay, I concur with your vibration statement. We Q1 guys experience exhaust pipe breakage too. I had one break off at the flange years ago and is somewhere in a corn field. For those not familiar

Re: AV30 Install

Wow Jim..that looks impressive. Your panel looks exactly like I had in mind with the exception I'll only be using one AV30. I also plan to add the OAT and ADSB out beacon. We even share the same

Re: AV-30

Re: O-200 Exhaust ... Straight pipes or cross?

Who knew that a simple exhaust pipe question could lead to such a lively conversation 😉 Guess are all this I remain curious and unclear if I'll go the similar 4 straight pipes out the bottom, or
