Re: Ennis Montana- Anyone know about the area?
Been out of the loop for quite awhile. How did the Ennis trip go. Great place, the Madison Valley and the Gallatin Valley are great! A tremendous aviation family there. Lots of good times & good friends there. If you haven't found them, let me know.

Re: Lyc IO360 upgrade
Sky hawk, Been out of the loop for quite awhile. I bought this little gal from a friend that purchased her from a fellow in Ca. I am assuming your father. He told me the story but I can't remember the name. He flew to Ca. And stayed several days with him flying and learning from him. I believe he ha...

Re: Lyc IO360 upgrade
Managed to get a few minutes of play time with the new mods. Weather has moved in, so it is the time of year here that we can have short windows of opportunity. Take off in 3" wet snow, 2 notches flaps, w/ 8:50's, 350' ! Was easy to tape those fresh tracks! I stopped at local airport & made...

Re: 170 performance

Re: Lyc IO360 upgrade
Mr. Pokey, As I mentioned earlier, I am going to have to play with the "Ol Girl" some more, in fact I did today, but what I am finding so far is remarkable! I had a friend fly me up in a 210 Centurion yesterday & we were talking about how it was going to be kind of difficult for him to...

Re: Lyc IO360 upgrade
The pics may not be quite clear enough. The Garmin reads 162mph GS & the JPI reads 62 percent power.

Re: Lyc IO360 upgrade
Stoots STC As far as Daves kit, the biggest issue that "we" ran into was pre-made hoses not the right length, belt for alternator wrong & wrong size oil cooler. Dave did resend or had replacement parts right away. That was really the size of it. In talking to both the mechanics ( one r...
