Re: The Unexpected Drop of MP at 12K Ft Brake clean, or similar, will "un-lube" it.

Re: Hey, who chopped off the back of my airplane!? Me, too.

Re: N1260J, 112A need prop I believe if the system is working correctly, the squat switch will prevent the gear from being retracted when on the ground.

Re: MT Propeller I would think weight is the biggest advantage.

Re: 112A Parts Nose gear doors can be re-skinned. Associated Aero in OKC can do some of this work, too. No new parts for older 112/A/B's available, so only salvage yard or repairs are available as options. Nose gear landing light is usually a mod for 112's with the Hot Shot turbo-normalizer...

Re: Costa Rica to 1WA6 (WA) July There's a TI registered C182 that lives up here; I think at Fall City. The owner is quite active around here performing a lot of mountain flying. Are you aware of aircraft and owner?

Re: California Stops Questionnaire Although not as far south as you'd like, it's on the way. K0Q5

Re: 114 Hot Shot That's an interesting question. A 580 conversion would always have a new engine installed, so just buying the Hot Shot is not really a fair comparison. Even an overhaul at the time of HS install is still not really apples-apples.

Re: Commander 112B upgrade Here's the Garmin GNS-400/500 series STC and AML, which has 112B listed as approved: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/a6d84d3f11549cd1862579fe0068127d/$FILE/AML%20SA01933LA-D.pdf

Re: Rcm 112 poh Frankly, I think you're over-thinking this a bit. Yes, in your example if you increase by 10 RPM you can go back to 27", but that's the case for all limits/restrictions in place for prop/MP/gear/etc. Just think of the gear speed of 130kts. At 131 it's not safe, but at 129...

Re: Introduction: Potential Owner WA.

Re: New Bumpers... at Last! I believe the early 112's and 114's with short nose gear doors, had very similar, if not the same, bumpers in the nose gear door system. Would these new style bumpers also be applicable to that location?

Re: New Bumpers... at Last! Two sets for me (for two airplanes). PayPal is works for me.

Re: 200kts Commander Are all of these specific to the Super 580?

Re: 112A/B Hot Shot Empty Weight What happened to Robin's plane? N1390J.
