Mike:

Sorry to be so slow to the response, but have been away on a critical contract out of country.

Your repsonse gives cause for more questions than answers (and I guess the exact reason I sta ...

Thanks for the replies thus far.

I do have to confess, my AA was tweeked quite a bit (more-or-less within what one could get away with 30 years ago in our heavily regulated environment). I had re ...

At the risk of opening a can of worms, can anyone give me the real reasons why AG5B aircraft are slower than AA5B? With my '77 Tiger, I could easily beat book values, but many tell me the new airplan ...

Gary: Now you know (and I remember) why we stopped doing private work after our first season in the business. Up here (Candian North then) I NEVER saw a single airplane imported from the US that wa ...

Discover:

WOW, that is another stunning display of neat hardware. This time with the full blown 930 instead of 900, but the SAM trumps the lot for going all of the way.

I did go back and read t ...

The little horizon is a "Sam" by Mid-Continent Instruments. It is strictly a backup instrument in case of loss of the G500, as it has it's own battery. The reason I had to keep the turn co ...

Ned:

I was referring to automotive systems. The only fuel injection that Bosch made in the 20s was DIESEL, not gasoline. The first gasoline injection systems were just before WWII (IIRC, in Jumo ...

Try to stay out of piddling contests, but there are a few things worth mentioning: Bosch did NOT "invent" the CIS (Constant Injection System = K Jetronic). ALL Bosch automotive gasoline i ...

Hi Cannuck,
This is Ned
I haven't posted a response yet...just to clarify that was Gary...I think.
Doesn't Canada have a category that you can put a Tiger into that allows you Canadians to treat it ...

Ned (or is that Gary?): thanks for the post. What exactly can be LEGALLY done with an 0-360 - or better yet IO-360 to optimize as you mentioned from Lycon??

I imagine Ken's 411 CID engine does no ...

Not a typo, three zero, not three.

I sold my Tiger (0449) 30 years ago. I still have my Yankee (0409), but it was parked in the trees 35 years ago, so that doesn't really count. I was one of the ...
