I see a big centrifugal blower with ducting terminating above the crankcase.

Re: Flap handle
Nice job! Dress her up with some tennis racket grip tape and round off the edges.

Re: Scott Fuel Guage Gaskets
This morning the temp was about 32F and one of my fuel gauges had some light seepage. I’ve been monitoring for a year and haven’t tried tightening the screws. Gasket age is unknown. I’m thinking about replacing the gasket. While I’m in here the float as well. I read the 2012Q2 170 News article. Will...

Re: Mag drops with new engine
As of yesterday, my mag drops were 75 left and 50 right. Better than 150 left / 15 right for sure. Engine sounds smooth. Mechanic A was a friend that helped me out. He spent 4 hours on the left mag. He hadn’t done one in a long time, and didn’t have the Bendix P-lead adapters. Mechanic B was a local...

Re: Got some history on my bird
Cool stories. A gentleman in Ohio owned, flew, and updated N1981C for about 15 years. He passed away, and another gentleman from Texas bought it from estate. He flew her 1.5 yrs then sold to me to enjoy. I got the hot potato “time for a new engine” :lol: Here is a video of the previous owner flying ...

Re: DO NOT Slip with Full Flaps
Thanks for sharing. I too have previously thought maybe this was just a lawyer thing, but do believe it can be quite dangerous as you’ve stated. I only use full flaps on short final with landing assured.

Re: Mag drops with new engine
That’s what my installer mechanic thought, but after cleaning plugs it was still dropping excessive. Had to adjust timing.Iurii S. wrote:Can a severe drop be due to the fact that you are switching off the upper plugs, and the lower plugs are fouled with oil due to new rings?
