Re: Oil temperature
If you start your engine below -10C you will vaporize into oblivion. It's not good for your airplane either. Ouch, sounds scary :shock: But I'm not sure to understand what "vaporize in oblivion" means :scratch: You will go "poof." You will cease to exist. You will go where no ma...

Re: Pipistrel four seater
Jean, any idea how heavy the hybrid engine is and how heavy the batteries are?
I love the plane and would seriously consider it once fully developed.
Personally, I don't hold alot of hope for hybrid engines in a car much less an airplane.

Re: Continental Ebgines sold to AVIC International (BEJING)
I do not view this move by TCM as a positive for the end user. I have yet to see a company move their manufacturing out of the US and still maintain the same level of quality control. Logistically it just can't happen. I think we were never concerned about Diamond's or Garmin's production in China....

Re: Oil temperature
I'm running in the 135 to 140 degree range at -10c to -16c oat. I have tried the winterization kit and didn't like it. On my plane, the kit actually ran the engine temps hotter in the winter than without them in the summer. I didn't like the kit and have not used it for the last couple of years. I s...

Re: More performance?
O.K., you guys are going to laugh at me but here's something to think about. I had an F1 aerodynamicist at my office the other day and I dragged him out to the hanger.
