Isn't most space flight still experimental?

Ever fly in a 727 up front?

Govt doesn't fund the roads, we do. Where does the govt get the funds? From taxpayers. Supposed to be impost and duties.

He mày or may not be able to use his phone or iPad during a test.

No bút the last update would likely break something.

When I was flying a jump plane 182 many years ago, I remember at 500 feet reducing rpm by 100. But, throttle stayed wide open till altitude was reached usually 7500 feet.

A granny knot would hold that, but you might need the un-knotting tool some carry in their pocket.

It's there, then, on front of engine, pilots side, below propeller hub. https://www.rapcoinc.com/images/vacuum%20pumps/RAP215CC-9.gif Have you seen this? https://150cessna.tripod.com/oilflow.html

Can't find it right now. But do you have any vacuum driven instruments left in the plane or have you gone all electric?

And the government likes this!

Do you still have a vacuum pump? If you do never mind, but if it's been removed I believe a plate has to be installed or you will have a loss of pressure.

You asked me earlier, but I had to ask my son, because I haven't flown it in a year or two. He said the oil pressure would run about halfway between the bottom of the green and the white line. That was at cruise power in Florida. It would be a half a needle below the min line after a couple...

The B-29 was researched, designed, and built by professionals. As was the Wright 3350. That didn't preclude many crashes and deaths before they entered service for defects.

In principal I agree. But it wasn't originally built for a multi grade oil. And I believe the TCDS calls for 80 grade or 40 weight oil.
