Re: Lop

Has anyone ever successfully run LOP on the 112 HotShot?

Egads.. y'all have some horrible ADD.

Based on the responses I have seen to appears that no one has yet been successful in LOP on a 112 Hotshot.

Cheers,
Neal

Re: Lop

My 114B simply will not run LOP!

Clyde,

If you were to fill in the rest of your profile with your location, home airport, and so on, then I'm sure Scott could stop in during his travels to demo the technique for you.

(Am I the only one that recognizes the irony of me telling folks to fill in their profile data? )

If you can hold a 2nd class medical, then you can certainly find Frank's profile data. Otherwise, questionable.

Re: Lop

There is no way in God's Blue Sky that losing a cylinder every 200 hours (x4) is due to LOP operation. Paul, you reminded me of my Grandpa who always put tubes in his tubeless tires and smoked straight Camels cuz there was something in those damn filters that will give you cancer !!!!

Re: Lop

Frank, Scott knows where I live. MY profile was there at one point, don't know where it went though. Loc, DHN, sn 14664. 114B , great plane, operating this plane since 2001, almost through my second engine. But this A&P, I.A. Can't get it to run LOP.
Come on down Scott, show me!
I don't know why my profile gets erased!

Cllyde ... email me direct to scott@truen.com. If your 114 won't run LOP, then there is a reason, most likely you have a huge spread in your CHTs. That is entirely possible.

Scott

Who said it was one every 200 hours or so, or did they go all all at once and together as no mention on the timing for the cylinder failures? To me everything is black and white engineering wise, wondering if it was some of those cylinders the FAA is putting an AD out on and think it was for those and they have now backed off on?

Re: Lop

Brand new factory engine. Two cylinders at about 600 hrs, two more at about 675 hours. Waiting on the other two.... it's a big-bore Continental thing, one theory is Conti does a lousy job machining the exhaust guides. Don't even ask about the Conti starter motor and adapter.

I liked the Lycs in my Commanders much better. But this has nothing to do with LOP...sorry I mentioned it

Re: Lop

Isaac, I Remeber the factory telling me this was your plane. WE purchased it directly from them in November of 2001. I think you were the previous owner, also, what issue was this plane covered on. I have done some research looking for this issue and can't find it.
