I'm 5' 10" and 195lbs, and am in the process of covering mine to single place.
Never liked the way it handled with 2 on board. It will be a lot more
comfortable on long cross countries.

To answer the spin question, DON'T DO IT ON PURPOSE! Not going to tell the
story, but had about 100 feet when I recovered. Started at 3000 ft.And a
parachute would not have helped. Wanted to add ?that before those comments
started. Could not have gotten out.?

Very well stated. Stay with the plane. Fires don't burn for more than seconds.
Fuel should be turned off.?Engine failure is the most likely item. Other than
IFR screwups, engines stopping is what brings them down. Not fires.

Since when have chutes been mandatory? ?I got my Commercial Glider rating in
the 80s and never heard of that.

To me, fire in flight is probably the scariest thing that could happen. Short
of loosing tail or wing pieces.For the want of a 1/16th of an inch. Go with

While everyone is toying with extra oil to cool the heads. Don't forget, you
would pull more oil from the sump. Which would leave less to be cooled. Leading
to hotter oil, hotter heads.This is a bad idea. Period! The engineering to
fugure out the amount of oil needed in sump, out put of pump,
Increased oil flow would help. But where are you going to get the oil from? The
liquid cooled heads are cooled from within. To pump a lot of oil into the
rocker covers could cause problems. Plus all that oil.has to get back into the
crank case. Oil provides 30 to 40 percent of engine cooling b

The theory is good. But it takes too much power to spin a vacuum pump to the
rpm required to operate in the proper range. The weight of the electric motor
required to produce enough power to spin a pump, and the amps required, is not
worth it.?There are electric vacuum pumps on the market for
Since I use a distributor instead of a mag, I installed a vacuum pump were the
mag mounts. Made a drive that bolted on. Has worked for over 500hrs with no
