What is the "R" number on your Skyecho?

I use a twin-engine manifold pressure gauge. I first connect it to one manifold to make sure they read the same, then connect the left to the left and right to right and sit in the aircraft and check at various rpm's

My father in law had a Tecnam P2008. Every time you pulled the carb heat knob your feet got hot. It might have said carb heat on the knob, but it went to the cabin heat. (Came that way from the factory)

Me too, mine tells everyone that I'm her favourite son in law....(I'm the only son in law)

Thank you both for the reply. I wasn't sure if Ken was still repairing the Xcom. Kiwi

Hi Mark, I have a intermittent fault code "PLL FAIL" on my Xcom, sometimes won't transmit but will receive, and sometimes won't transmit or receive. Checked the radio back in the hangar and it was working fine again. Any idea on what the fault code means? Thanks, Kiwi.

They must know what happens to sheep.

II've always trusted the black dot stick on one's, I have never had a problem with Carbon Monoxid.

What CO detector do you have, and what did it cost?

I just google the piper external plug and got some interesting results, No, you can't charge the battery via the external plug, the master switch must he on for external power to make it to the battery. So yes, if you are testing out new avionics (the master is going to be on), it should work. Here is an interesting link about it. https://piperowner.org/talk/discussion/154730/external-power ps, I own a PA-28 140.

I think you will find that the piper external plug does not send power to the battery, you can not charge the battery through it. It only goes to the starter relay for jump starting.

Try a right angle mag wheel tyre valve, just make sure you remove the valve core.

I still hear the screaming when I'm solo... maybe I should unplug the headsets.
