Well our PC12 time is not high, so why not ask how others fly theirs? I am very well aware of what airspeed and AOA means. When we go the PC12 it had the Hartzell prop on it adjusted in a way that it was not even on the wishlist to land at Sarentino. Now with the MT its another stroy.

I replaced the Skytec on an O-360 3 times within 1000 hrs. Now switched to the Hartzell for more than 1200 hrs without ANY problem.

I went back to the airstrip numbers. The Rwy is Is one way no GA option for the last mile. Exept for the SM1019 or Pocket Rocket. RYW begins at 2500ft climbing to 2600ft at the driveway, distance 610ft. Then continues up to from 2600 to 2640 for 100ft distance. Usable for takeoff and landing...

Yesterday from Sarentino to Bibione with 10 POB and 2 ebikes and 8 regular bikes on board, 1400 lbs fuel on takeoff, rotated before the driveway xing 2 KTS tailwind.

If the leak is caused by the exhust valve, fly it with a can on valve cleaning additive for cars. The chance that the valve is working after cleaning is 50%.

Maciej, there are some Pocket Rocket Vids on Youtube. And there are some about Locher airfield or Sarentino with the SIAI Sm1019 Turbine Bird dog and K100 Kodiak as well. https://youtu.be/CrWJVKHwVso Enjoy!

Thanks James, the calculator is for our runway useless. As you see I ve got at least 50 runway left, which will account for a 15 KTs tailwind. The MT prop is another world.

No the above plane is Pocket Rocket a highly modified, reinforced and clipped Impulse 100 with an Allison B15G Turbine and it was nerver up for sale. Took me more than 10 yewars to build it. Shes ma baby. Took her to Mach =.56 already, not too bad for a fixed gear.

The 540 has the same force with one jug under pressure than a 360. But most of the time a longer prop. so easier to hold. Usually I open the tab for the air slowly, so its no big deal at all if you know what you are doing.

Ok got it figured out , much much better with the MT prop than the Hartzell, Hers the PC 12 on our strip in Italy: Its hard to beat. The Platus test pilot refused to make a demo there. Enjoy

Dennis, here in Europe its marketed by Johnson & Johnson. I don´t even know SC Lohnson. Wal Art should have it. I use it out of the manual pump spray can. not the areosol.

He was lucky, I know a guy where the prop cut 1/4 of the headshell away. And it was all his fault. After checking compression and recording it at TDC, I usually measure it with the piston moving slowly up and down to see if there is blowby. Nor required by FAA but helpful.

Johnson & Johnson Pronto. Spray on the bugs wipe them off 2 min later with a microfibre cloth. Then spray wing again distribute with the microfiblre and leave a thin layer of Pronto on the wing. Bugs will not stick well any more. Inexpensive & effective. I use it on the windshields as well.

Your 96 Husky has the A1P engine with a MA4-5. Looks like a bad needle or seat, could be the float as well. I fly my Husky on cargas with the metal float. The plastic ones the guys on www.flyhusky.com have in the newer carbs is not very mogas resistant.

Usually the Dynafocals have a bushing in the middle. It does not come with new Lord mounts . Are you sure its installed?
