Re: New years day flight video
I just “Airplayed” your video on the big TV...loved it! Smooth landings like that are what I need more of in 2021.
Great video!

Re: New Years Day Flight Report
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,

Re: Your Opinion
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

Re: Your Opinion
I’ve never had carb ice. But I don’t know why. Could be the tight fit underneath the cowl and heat around the carb?

THIS is 31°F and sunshine.
Well at least that is what they forecast.
Good news is tomorrow is supposed to be as beautiful as today.
It’ll get better, someday.
If you got um, fly um!!!!

Re: Your Opinion
If your ice tea glass is sweating you are in the humidity range for carb ice. The vaporization of fuel takes energy which lowers the air temperature drastically. Any water vapor in the air condenses

Re: Your Opinion
Hi Keith,
Thanks for the link. Interesting stuff about the Teflon. It certainly has the potential to get the droplets much smaller. Not sure if smaller droplets would keep them from freezing

Re: New Years Day Flight Report
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
