  3. dynomike added a post in a topic bluehead cabin heat   

    got it figured out .put the tee right before the pump. I tried it on the bypass first as they are all on the same line but couldn't get heat .guess that hose gets shut off when the thermostat opens.

    bluehead cabin heat
    I have a question regarding coolant supplied cabin heat ,seeing how the bluehead has a third bypass line as opposed to the greyhead ,where would I place coolant tee on the suction side of the engine?

    I got to say that if you get a pair of full lotus floats on your plane you wont need the skis as you will have the best deep powder skis made

    Ivo spinner on warpdrive
    I thought I would share this adaptation I stumbled on while drinking beer at the hanger .when I put the ivo ifa on my avid I was left with the unused scull cap spinner .much to my surprise when I held it up to my 670 powered float plane the cap fit tightly around the warp drive outer backing plate.
    I used a small piece of steel and a 5 1/2 bolt ,drilled the welded to keep from spinning while tightening the 1/4 nut on the outside.
    I think these spinners are available for sale separately for 50 bucks.
    And yes I did take it back off and painted  the steel

    very responsive planes ,besides extreme slips or maybe aerobatics ,two inches of stick movement is all that is needed .if you need full deflection ,youll get it regardless of it touching your leg.your leg will move

  20. dynomike added a post in a topic Parachute installation   

    I have to say the chute really did help me get over my fear of turbulence.that little red handle was pretty comforting when it would get choppy flying a new (to me) plane


    What I flew before this only weighed 400 pounds and would put the fear of god in a new pilot
