I found that with a carbureted O-200, at wide open throttle, you can burn about 10 gallons an hour. Fuel injection can bring it down to 6 or 7 gph. Sam Sent via wireless Gizmo.

Disregard Mike, I read the details on the engine list. Jim Q200 - N46JP

Mike, How did the old rings look? Any broken? Did you replace them all? What about the valves? Did you have any burnt? Jim Q200 N46JP

Hi Guys, My engine was burning around 3 hours per quart but excellent compression so I bit the bullet and decided to top it. I honed the cyl, lapped the valves and put her back together. Today with

I forgot how much fun it is carving the larger fairings with the orange flotation billet foam... I'm having a ball so far. I do like the suggestion of automotive lights in the tips with a strobe on

Done!

Pretty much. Pick a design that you like and go with it. I used 2 Bid to cover and 3 in the area that was thin as I made shear tips. I also installed a simple automotive light socket into the foam

Sorry, I've missed some email. When, and location of the Spring Schling?

Brewski, Good news! If we have enough room, you can stay with us. Paul and Terry usually do. Jerry, Sanjay, Hardie, Lynn, and others have. Glad you will be attempting to join us. Now for good

Yes I did use flox corners. I also embedded a piece of aluminum in the foam with nut plates on the back to accept the screws for strobe/position lights, and then covered with two bid. Kevin

I asked a question about wingtip optimization to Jim Bede at an OSH forum once. He told me how Steve Whitman tested wingtips: 1. Come up with a design, 2. Mount it on one side only, 3. Depending on

Thanks Sam - Yup, it does look that simple - probably easier than any of the other ones. I'm thinking a couple of BID tapes on the top and a couple of BID tapes on the bottom, overlapping

It's easy. Just glue on a block of foam with two-part foam and carve away. Fancy up-swept or plain Jane, I don't think it has much affect on performance. The trickier part is the mounting for the tip

I'm planning on closing up my main wing tips in the next couple of weeks - nothing uber fancy, just a nice smooth radius with mounting for tip lights, (all of these years of looking at the orange,

Second flight completed this AM. Put over an hour on the plane. Added some tail weight to bring it more in the center of the CG range. Much more stable. Cooling seems adequate. Oil never peaked
