Oil changes, do you clean the engine exterior and if so, what do you use? I thought about a degreaser mixed with water in pump sprayer, but didn’t want to invite corrosion.

Subscribed. I have a squeaky brake after installing new pads.

Excellent write up, thank you. I have to admit that often we omit the takeoff briefing.

Cool! Wish I could have made it!

It’s a shame the pilot attempted that…

Good to see y’all again!

Nice!

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve been using 100LL with no oil additives in my O-300 for the last 100-125 hrs. No valve sticking issues, but someone told me they’ll stick less if you run mogas. I have the stc, but don’t want to mess with fuel cans and stinky fuel if it ain’t worth it.

My 170 at the Smithville TX fly in last month. We need to lobby for the ability to upload larger photos!
