Carb.

good question, but pretty sure it's lead. Took the mechanics word for it.

The lower plugs on our Cessna 172 (lycoming) keep fouling, despite an aggressive lean on the ground and even in the air. It seems like the mixture knob does little to reduce the mixture, then all of a sudden with just a half twist more the engine dies. The best analogy I can think of is that...

http://www.dd214designs.com/store#!/Custom-aircraft-blueprint-plaque/p/84361262/category=0 The link above will take you to my store, where I have a list of all aircraft available for purchase. All are fixed wing, with rotor soon to follow! Thanks for looking!

The illustration needs to be a vector file, which JPG is not. I don't use illustrator, don't even own the program in fact. If the aircraft is listed in the above link, I can do it no problem. Thanks!

I hireout for the artwork, as it's simply too time and labor intensive. A list of aircraft can be found here: https://www.the-blueprints.com/vectordrawings/

Looking for suitable artwork, but unfortunately all I can find is a model S-1 and S2A...I don't think either of those are close enough, right? I know NOTHING about Pitts, other than they are AWESOME planes!

I've lowered the price on both the Cessna and Piper plaques to $49.99!

They're great fun! Once the learning curve flattens out, there's not much you can't do!

Depending on if the artwork is available, absolutely! What plane(s) is (are) of interest?

Laser engraved on a beautiful 8"x10" piece of finished maple, this plaque is sure to please the 172 pilot in your life! Makes a great fathers day gift, solo flight commemoration, passing of a checkride, or simply "just because" it looks so darn good! Cost is $64.99 each, with an additional $5...

Put one end of a towel over the iPad. Put the other end of the towel over your head. No more heating up, and no more glare problems either. Turn on synthetic vision and you'll be fine. Nobody looks outside the cockpit anymore. Just fly through the boxes and it'll take you right down to the...

My advice: Worry about learning how to fly and not so much about capturing every last minute of it. I mean, what's the point? To REALLY learn how to fly, or to SHOW people you're learning how to fly? Whatever floats your boat though.
