sounds like I don't belong here

carbon buildup. try marvel mystery oil in the fuel. What you really need to do is decarbon the engine. And yes, mine has done this. Not in the last 2 years tho.

Say what you want,
I fly away from the pattern all the time. I went to Arlington last year, the kitfox flyin, down to richland, to aurora oregon. Just to name a few. When I fly long distances I hi ...

Yup,
I fly every day. Last year I had 420 flights. Many times I just stay in the pattern, I can do a t&g every minute, sometimes less than that. I'll run over to the international (class c air ...

Tail dragger's are tough. But I have to say the worse part of the dragger is the vis. over the right side while taxi. This is a Bxxxx, and sure you can swerve left to right, but when you are on a sk ...

I use amzoil motor cycle oil, I think it's 15/40. Dexcool.

Mike,

I would get that effect also. Try tapping the brakes to stop wheel rotation
after lift off to see if if affects it.

what makes you think the tires are any different than an automobile. I just installed new tires yesterday and had them balanced, They both took over 2 ounces on each tire. Nice and smooth after take ...

You can gap seal just like the elevator. 2" tape stuck on top of each other then put along one side, slide into the gap and then stuck on the other side, make sure the rudder is pulled to one si ...

I got tired of my springs breaking, so I safety wired them. Just do a loop at one end wrap it around both ends several times keeping it tight, then spiral it around the whole thing down to the origin ...

No way, leave the BRS on when doing the weight and balance, it is part of the aircraft. Chances are you have too much tail weight. Besides you need to know what your current problem is. Sorry to sa ...

Oh and if you didn't know, the weight and balance is done with dry weight. No fuel and no extras like luggage.

before you do anything, you must do a weight and balance. Once you are done with that, than we can help you. Make sure and give us the specs from the weight and balance.

The key to all of this is to be smart. I do flat turns all the time, but you must be very careful. First off I fly at 60mph or higher when I do it. If the turbulence is to much, I will not do it. N ...

I find the best way to slow down over the runway is to skip the flaps, I don't like them either, they take away from the use of the ailerons for one, and it's just one more thing to do, and finally yo ...

I always did the same thing...right pedal, and stick to the left,
until my instructor and I were on our dual x-country, and I did just
that, but the wind was from the right, and he grabbed the s ...

At this point I'm going to have to disagree that the flap angle is what caused you to stall. I've taken off with full flaps and done correctly the airplane sort of just shoots up in the air and feels ...

What's running it hard?

I don't think anybody runs a 912 harder than me and my plugs don't look like that.

My tanks are from different time periods, the right one from 95, the left one from about 3 years ago. Now before I get to far into this, my aircraft has flown on alki for quit some time now. I fly ev ...
