![]() "Dave Doe" wrote Who remembers the crash in the States where an aircraft engineer had left the pitot and or static air vents taped up. Crashed into the sea I think - all dead. Duncan I believe this was South or Latin America, and the plane came back from getting washed??? Ports still covered to prevent water infiltration. Was it a B757 maybe??? |

With ASI out, use the back-up stall buzzer on final, then 4 knot accuracy is easy...duh. Ken Nope, no buzzer and not near stall.. Cheers |

Nope, I detect there is no change in prop sound when you load it up
and my computer does have a sound card. Maybe you are using one of Mx's famous add ons, but can you hear the prop disk meet off axis air?. When you load it up, yes. Off-axis air (what a great way to describe that, BTW!), nope. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I may need that lottery ticket, not for surviving the problem, but the
cost of a new regulator! Pump is fine, but the regulator does not appear to be regulating! 1.2 AMU is a preliminary estimate. $1200 for the *regulator*? Damn...that sucks. Almost as bad as my stupid Piper stall indicator switch -- $1300 back in 1999 money! What a rip... (Luckily I found a "serviceable" used unit for "only" $450...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
