I had a vernier (sp) throttle cable get stuck like that on my Mooney once.
Later was able to spray LPS directly on the outside of the whole cable, the oil
penetrated right through it, the cable that is. The cable was like new again. I
had no idea that would work until a mechanic friend told me t

Thanks for all the methods posted. I'll have to try some of them and see
if they are any easier than just using the old wind triangle method my dad
taught me back in the sixties, but which requires an accurate Airspeed
Indicator to calculate winds (or if I had an accurate wind speed I could
No, Joe, you are the only one who screws up. The rest of us are not capable
of all those screw-ups. But, if we were, I am not sure how many of us would
live to tell about it.
I would be pointing at the Carb, rather than the cable.

Hi Netters,
Thanks Patrick and Robin for your input.A netter calculated the load on a
typical KR dive brake as about 130 lbs,deployed.I tried my brake at 2600 rpm
static and while the lever pull was firm it was quite comfortable,and gave me a
ball park idea of what to expect.
Best Regards,
Eric,

This doesn't answer your question, exactly, but if you're looking for your
true airspeed, one way is to go to http://www.csgnetwork.com/tasgpscalc.html
with your headings (90 degrees apar
I've seen reference to using GPS to verify cruise speeds before, and this
seems like a great way to get an accurate ground speed, which is a great
starting place for calculating airspeed if the actual wind speed and direction
is known. Can someone walk me through how to get accurate wind

Dave,
I did not have any good indication that something was going wrong with the
throttle. The clues in hind sight was the first go around that it would not go
to low idle more like 1200 rpm and it went to full throttle fine for go around.
The next try I shut it down on roll out and restarted a

board. All I can say is the difference is remarkable, if I need to I can get
down on an 1800' runway I can, and wo I used up at least another 500' minimum.
With the KR it's all about killing the float. I tried brakes with

I layed up the whole top and then the whole bottom with a 2" overlap at the
