Re: Delta Hawk DHK180
It should be expected that the inverted V of the cylinders would produce some amount of smoking on startup. My old Honda Gold Wing was a 4-stroke boxer engine. On startup it would often produce smoke from the left cylinders if it had been parked using the side stand. This situation would leave those...

Re: Prop Damage
Let me just say a rock chip on the leading edge is an 8k repair at American Propeller Service and it takes time! Go carefully all. It can be. It depends on the extent. I had one like this that was just barely bad enough to require this treatment and it was this expensive when including shipping - i...

Re: Lightspeed Delta Zulu
Unique experience today. A firmware update (???) for the Delta Zulu :scratch: Well, now. My flight a few days ago found the headset repeatedly saying "Battery Charge Full". Annoying - like "are we there yet?" It used to just do this once per startup. I queried LS, and wadda-ya-k...

Re: NXi Phase 2 airway workaround
Good workaround that I always use with my FF/FS210/GNS interplay. It's super-common for ATC to issue shortcuts like this.

Re: Engine overhaul time - Lycoming IO-360-M1A
"Snugged up" is the right term. Takes only a few minutes and only requires removal of the upper cowling. It's possible this happened as a side effect of your most recent work, but it is often overlooked. Remember here on the site Matt just went through a misdiagnosis of the source of an oi...

Re: Engine overhaul time - Lycoming IO-360-M1A
The issue was at the bottom end of the intake pipes near seal P/N 77569. Come to think of it, I have no idea why oil was visible on the bottom of the pipes on the induction housing. Could it have leaked from somewhere else and collected there? In any case, the seals were declared faulty and replace...

Re: Hourly cost of maintaing a Diamond DA40
My DA40 is 22 years old A couple of things that seem way off: My tires are 9 years old, maybe half worn?, with about 450 TO/LDG. Replacement has never been anything like 100 hours. Maybe if all hours are touch and gos? I have never done any paint work on my plane There are some small chips, but they...
