Re: Questions about pitting in the camshaft
I second the recommendation to hire Savvy Aviation as a consultant. Years of experience and wisdom with a conservative yet safety conscious approach to maintenance. You should pay for their yearly service and they will follow the engine data and oil analysis with you. If you do need engine work, the...

Re: Alternatives for Plexus
Prist windshield/acrylic cleaner works well and I prefer it over Plexus. It doesn’t seem to leave as much residue.

Re: Annual Costs
First annual in the NE when I bought my plane (2018) was 7k for the inspections. Each year since in KY they’ve been around 3k.

Re: Prebuy fresh out of Annual?
Use the Savvy prebuy service if you’re new to this process. They will help find a neutral A&P and ultimately be someone working for you through the process that you can trust.

Re: Advise on New DA40 XLT Configuration
I love the look, durability, smoothness, and performance of the Hartzell. I’ve flown them all and specifically sought out a Hartzell when purchasing my plane. I probably would prefer the 40 gallon tanks but have the 50. The 50g tank helped me plan a few longer IFR legs given the reserve needed but t...

Re: NG vs XLT in light of Austro MSB
I chose the Lycoming 4 years ago when I had this decision. I didn’t feel comfortable with the Austro engine. I didn’t have much experience or objective knowledge about the engine but just didn’t feel comfortable with the unknowns. The salesmen tried to keep the focus on “one-lever” FADEC operation a...

Re: Don’t get out with the prop running
Tragic. The owner/pilot may be a member here and if so I send my condolences. A tragic accident. We’re all sometimes one decision away from an accident and tragedy.

Re: Power supply for iPad charging.
I just keep a cheap, lightweight portable charger with me. It will recharge the iPad twice. Seems easier and safer than messing with the electric system or using the installed outlet in the air.

Re: Speed fluctuation in cruise
Put a SD card in the upper MFD slot and save the engine logs. There are free online resources to visualize the data. You can graph the changes you’re worried about and show us. May be able to help. Your description of the airspeed change seems large to me unless you are making big pitch changes. Als...
