That requires removal and installation and the odds are not.

Get the AD, read, comply. Really!

Start with simple things first. 1) Intake leaks (causes leaner mixture) - loose stud nuts or bad gasket, intake pipe coupling worm clamps. 2) All primer lines secure and fuel lines (visual and check tightness) 3) Carb secure 4) Clean EGT probe and secure connections. 5) Believe it or not - mag...

Lets assume there is no factory data on an aircraft, you wouldn't. That is why having the very first weigh at birth gives you an idea. If I did have a real 30 lb spread, the airplane will fly but I might have to consider a 5 gallon tank difference. Most small aircraft are usually within 15 lb...

Weight difference is huge and does make a difference. Basing your weight off a piece of paper written 40 years ago is a NOT. You always want to know why there is a massive difference between wings or mains. I know of No pilot that doesn't and NO mechanic that would refuse to also...

Ok! First off, I've been at this airplane stuff as an A&P/IA for 40 years!- no kidding. yep, so when I see something off it drives me nuts. I wanted to research others within my week break between weighing) For example, back in 05, I weighed my craft (73 PA28150 Cruiser with Piper Air...

I'm interested in the mains, what the spread is. I think my spread is excessive and am investigating. So far, I've only seen one that was about a 12lb spread - nothing. Thankx, or email at Joe@JoesPiper.com

I really don't care.

Stop worrying. Anybody that flies an aircraft has a mental condition. FACT

I'll assume you are male - get more pu*sy and drink more scotch. Your problems are solved.

3rd Class and Basic Med is the same thing except blood pressure. Basic Med doesn't even ask and the ticket is good gor 4 years and the doctor doesn't even have to sign it if he/she doesn't want to.

That spread not so bad. Looking for more.

Who has their weights for each main? Looking for comparisons. (yes, there will be a wide range I'm sure)

I think that's what these dumb dumbs are saying. In the old days before the regs got real serious, an A&E ( before A&P) could use balance scales and calibrate to say "its close enough" those days are over for quite some time.

Any chance you have the weights of each main?

Do you have the weight of each main?

Are they staying wide open or just partially closing? With airspeed, sometimes the linkage binds, but on the ground everything works fine providing all switches are functional. Common cowel flap problem on aircraft as well. No margin for kinking linkage.
