All

With G-IANI we operate the check list routine. Switch to RESERVE before
starting the engine, and keep it there during warm-up and taxi.  Before
run-up, switch to MAIN.  Check MAIN before take-off.  On shut down we switch
to OFF.


The interesting point is that after 150 hour the Europa supplied tap was
becoming to stiff for Irene to turn.  As I had a spare I replaced it.  The
second tap started to become very stiff at 240 hour.  This time I replaced
it with an Andair.

It will be interesting to see how long the Andair lasts.
