My static is simply vented inside the cockpit. Indicated airspeed is accurate to within 1-2 knots and varies about 1-2 knots with all vents opened or closed. (This could increase if I seal my cockpit better.) I have the static line terminating into a small foam filter I found at the auto parts store to shield it from any airflow inside the cockpit.

I thought I would pass this information on to you good gentleman Of what I discovered today. Today I tordown a high time engine and discovered the most wonderful thing. It looked as if it could another 2000 hours. The pistons all looked good, Crank looked barely used, and not a bit of varnish to be found. Well, I called the owner up and asked him what he was putting in the engine. He told me that he added the product Avblend at every oil change, and would not run an engine without it. After I finished talking to him I got write on the phone and called Aircraft spruce and ordered some. I wont run my engine any more without it either. The part number is 08-05470 and is about $20.00 per. 12oz can. One can per. every four cylinders. It is also FAA approved.

Fram oil filters are too restrictive, and can cause problems if the oil volume is low also. Some here may like them, and I run them when there is no other filter for my vehicle, but that is the only time. Some GM vehicles actual prohibit the using of Fram air filters because of their restrictive nature. Regardless of which brand, change the oil and filter every 50 hours whether it is dirty or not. If the K&N has a removable element like their air filter, and then clean it every 50 hours. Even with out that additive written about earlier, your engine will look brand new also. As a side note, check out Steve Bennett's site on VW engines; he says NEVER run 100w aviation oil. It is too thick and will not properly circulate in your engine. I run 10w30 standard motor oil in winter and switch to 10w40 for summer even in Florida. As Larry says, your results may and probably will vary....

Added cooling tube to the voltage regulator today and prevented the alternator from falling out when hot. Dan Diehl says not to locate the regulator on the firewall with out having at a minimum a dedicated cooling tube blowing on the regulator, or the preferred thing is to locate it on the head side of the cooling baffle. Also moved the carb inlet from the front cooling baffle just inside the right hand cowling, to having the air filter mounted directly to carb heat box. This is due to the fact that I got carb ice on Monday, and could not get it to clear completely, causing a rough running condition all the way back to the airport. The under engine intake manifold never touches the engine until it mounts to the head, so no heat is transferred to the carb to maintain a clear venturi, and proper air fuel mix. Now I am using the air that is already pre-warmed off the heads, in order to hopefully correct this tendency. If you look at the Lycoming engines, they do that part smart by mounting the carb directly to the oil pan, which allows engine heat to be transferred to the carb body, assisting in preventing carb icing, and proper atomization. Added some shock cord like Serge did and got very good neutral positioning of the stick with down pressure from the cord. Also added a safety strap for taxiing so that I can leave the canopy open while taxiing, and the strap prevents full opening, so that prop wash or winds cannot yank the canopy open suddenly. Also prevents full opening during flight. 16 hours and counting....

I wonder why I can't ever get those darn things to come off when they are only put on by hand. Now I am gonna have to find a way to safety my fuel filter or get a different one.
