2019-05-15 Thread Oscar Zuniga via KRnet
the intake ever sees anything below the piston rings (or shouldn't, anyway), so putting fogger into the intake won't do anything to coat the lower end. Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR ___ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.co

e while it was prop-started, but I never liked the hokey setup and when my Cleveland masters grew to be unreliable, I replaced them with Matcos and ditched the parking brakes. There are times when I wish I still had them though, for hand-propping. My airplane has no electrical system. Os

Stef: PS, if I left my home airport in my airplane and headed east at the same time that you left your airport in the Netherlands in your KR and headed west, we might arrive at Oshkosh at the same time but only because I would probably have a tailwind. Oh, and I would need about 15 fuel stops a

ngines and you hop into something with a Corvair or VW that rotates in the opposite direction, does it take some conscious effort to start using left rudder instead of your right to counteract the yawing tendency due to propeller torque and P-factor or is this a nothing burger? Oscar Zuniga Medfo
