My RPM has been limited to the lower 2600's since I bought it. I sent the governor in for calibration and it didn't change anything. I suppose it just needs to be reindexed but I haven't bothered. The screw is adjusted all the way out with room to spare and it's still 2630 or so. I figure it makes u...

Just be careful with that Simple Green. It seems to mark the paint if it gets left on. It will rub out but takes a little effort. Maybe try a paint cleaner wax.

Multi grade oil isn't a great idea during break-in from what I understand. It has the anti-scuff additive in it and that is the opposite of what you want. Look in to going back to straight weight oil till that cylinder settles in. When I ran in my last engine my goal was to run it as hard as I could...

First this isn't a boat and is not gel coated. Boat manufacturers aren't the go to on this. That being said you can work on the surface finish of the airplane. Sounds like you are just talking about a little filler and paint.

I found a salvage rear seat pan that had the inspection holes and covers. It really doesn't allow for much inspection. What it is mainly for is access to the pitch and roll autopilot servos. It's not really any good for much else. The front seats are easy enough to remove so it's not really worth do...

I would do it if there were an STC but after watching how difficult it was for Forced Aeromotive to get theirs I don't see it happening.
