Short version: LOP on a turbocharged (or normalized) engine is different then normally aspirated. Since the 112HS uses a manual wastegate it is difficult to properly compensate for power loss when leaning. The 114HS is not impacted by that. If you have a long leg, and preferably some extra...

That number is incorrect. The FAA Administrator makes ~$200k base plus significant bonus based on meeting Flight Plan Goals. One of the larger benefits is that you retire and continue to receive 75% of your "high 3" years (averaged) -- adjusted for inflation -- for the rest of your life. And...

That approach showed "LNAV+V" on the 480. So if you had switched to NAV in time the autopilot should capture the glideslope (this assumes current software on the 480, wired correctly, etc). Regards, Neal

We evaluated a number of options for that type of headset and ended up purchasing these: https://www.quiettechnologies.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=66_59 They sounded better than the Clarity models. There is generally a wait for them, as the guy that makes them is a one horse show..

I'm in.

Very interesting installation. It appears the fan at the top is there to push air from the rear of the cabin to the front of the cabin. Will be interested to hear how the system works for you. Regards, Neal

Would be great to see some pictures of that install. AC is on the list to figure out sometime soon... Thanks in advance. And welcome to COG! Regards, Neal

Interesting fact: In two years it will no longer be Jack Edwards. It is being renamed Gulf Shores International Airport later this year when they open a brand new tower. The folks out there have been very nice to work with.

I haven't been DC local in nearly 30 years. But since no one has mentioned it: If you are willing to go through the process to land there (https://collegeparkairport.aero/md3.html), College Park Airport is walking distance from a Metro station that will take you anywhere in DC efficiently...

Jim, You have our (or at least my) attention. However, it is not clear what Aerodyme is offering or how we will support the initiative. Please fill us in. Regards, Neal

Steve, It only works with the fuel injected version. Specifically, the HotShot modifies the IO-360-C1D6 engine to turbo-normalize it (sea-level manifold pressure available up to the max authorized altitude of 16000 feet) and the airframe to accept the modified engine. The result allows...

I'd recommend an EI CGR-30P. That could replace the RPM (or Manifold Pressure/Fuel Flow) and provide everything the EDM would and a whole lot more. Regards, Neal

Like put it by the circuit breaker for the lights in the closeout near the battery. Plenty of room there. I am intrigued by this. My first thought was to ditch the original battery box (it is heavy, plastic, and eventually cracks). Then tee the two hoses into a single one, and route that...

Carl, Let me preface this by saying that I am a big fan of going with a more modern battery. So I am poking at this in the hopes of actually using one in the [near] future. I, in fact, am overdue for a battery. That said, for the Concorde, it was considered a minor alteration. Similar...

Carl, Perhaps I don't understand, but for comparison, my Concorde is 33 lbs, and 440 cca. However, Earth-x is not really quoting that. For an apples to apples comparison, you need to look at IPP/IPR, which is where that 800 number comes from. The comparison there is Concorde RG-35AXC...
