Ron, what are the options for landing straight ahead (as preached) in the event of an engine failure at take off, at this airport?

Newby at this, so tell me your truth :) Enriching the mixture cools your engine they say. Due to "the evaporation of the excess fuel". But, I can also cool the engine by reducing the AOA or by reducing the power setting. Less power, less pressure and less heat. So can it be that the...

Tools said: Go to the airport of your choice and start networking. That’ll help ya with hangar, maintenance and local flying bud stuff. Check to see if there’s a local EAA chapter or similar to aid in that. With this in mind. Fractional ownership in a RV-10? Probably 3 owners for your budget...

Does this qualify as hilarious + wasteful + charter :)

I find landing straight in from a 5 mile final way more challenging than setting up for a landing from down wind. I realize the controller sent her miles out, to maybe collect her thoughts, but I wonder if directing her back into the circuit for a precautionary landing or a low and over, could...

Value of killing the engine in flight? Glide distance and descent rate with power at idle (simulated engine failure or power off landing practise), versus dead engine and wind milling prop. Kept her high on base to final and aimed to touch down at the 1200 feet mark. (Roughly the start of the...

Painting the aircraft after being polished for years, is the prep for painting any different from prepping bare Aluminium?

I rather watch the ball and feel the load factor, than trusting IAS to prevent a stall. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/1676/accelerated-stall-what-is-it-how-do-you-prevent-it#:~:text=Short%20Version,load%20factor%20(g%20loading).

If you climb high enough, full throttle will be cruise power, so you for fixed pitch, leave the throttle forward and lean. For constant speed prop, leave the throttle forward, adjust RPM to desired cruise RPM and then lean. This !

Great news. Looking forward to meet many of you. We hope to leave Fort Pierce for Governor's Harbour Friday, March 10th. Revere Aero compact 2 person raft looks great. But where to rent? https://www.liferaftstore.com/2-Person-Aero-Compact-Life-Raft_p_656.html

Weather any better mid May or other reasons for the change from mid March? We are still planning to go 11 -18th. Some Island hopping in mind. Great 2023 for all!

Kerosene?

That tool cuts male (with nipple) filters just fine. The pin/bolt seats nicely in the nipple and the cutting wheel does its thing just above the bottom seam of the filter. Done so for the last 15 years

Dan thanks, I stand corrected on multiple fronts. Seems the UREM is a Tempest plug and REM is a Champion plug. And there is no 40 plug in the projected nose. You got me thinking about the melting point of metal lead, so had to do some reading. Sounds like the combustion process liberates lead...

Lycoming recommended shutdown procedure to "clean out unburnt fuel". To prevent fouling after shutdown? Some advocate, to get rid of the lead, run engine up to 2000ROM, lean aggressively for a minute or two and then shut down. Lead's melting point is 621dF, so once formed on the plugs, it's not...
