It's just the definition of "0 time," slang version or the FAA version, Pete. Per FAA, only the manufacturer can 0-time it's engine. An overhauler can either do a new limits (gut it out), or a servic

Not too surprising. On my AA-5, the book penalty for no wheel farings is 2 MPH, and that's about right. They're big, add a lot of wetted area, and not laminar; gain is net. The factory speed kit for

Shaun, to make comparisons more complicated yet, Kim Prout's Europa, at time of CAFE test, had the aftermarket piston mod (alleged 92HP, but who knows). He found more performance improvement in the 2

Plus they look cool, but can't agree totally as to the wing flap hinges ('cept the big mess at the outboards). Just doing scratch-pad math, from the book on drag, make the fairings too wide in front

Excellent observation, Graham, but I was sort of figuring on that, maybe even correctly. ;-) If perfectly in trail, the drag of the aft hinge is much less, and the lateral distance is mostly beyond w

I thought the reason is it that, as you approach cruise speed for any given trim, it takes a long time to finally get there, so I can 'demonstrate' it too. The S-Tec (autopilot) web site contains an

Ditto on the festive greetings, but doubtful on the "boost," I think. 120 kts produces only .33 PSI of "ram", or about .6" more manifold pressure into a closed container. But it's not closed, as the

I wonder how much of that 2 MPH is due to bypassing the air filter, though. On my other plane, carb heat air is "rammed" into a 2-1/2" duct. But pull carb heat and we know what happens to to RPM, due

Very interesting, Hans. Wing aerodynamics could play a role also, as in a laminar flow wing there is a "bucket" of low drag at low lift coefficients, ideally at design cruise speed. The laminar bucke

If it has, Don Dykins doesn't say so in his book on the Europa wing. It requires a wind tunnel to observe, and often shows up only at lift coefficients too low to sustain flight. Hoerner hints that w

Now that you've mentioned that method, Ken, some may want to know if it's practical on the Europa at cruise, or even a self-cobbled device? What is it measuring back there and how? I wonder if a som

That advice is fairly universal, and I think there's several reasons. One would be that water can collect in a low-point bend in the line upstream of the gascolator and freeze, restricting flow. Anot
