Re: 180hp conversion for the 170A
CHT redline for a Lyc 0-360 is 500 Fahrenheit isn't it? So what's the problem?

Re: BFR's. - inadvertent flight into IMC
Well lets try this again. To try and make a positive reason to get and use an Instrument Rating, I have added a few statistics and numbers, (from the reports that I mentioned earlier).

Re: Storing fuel in 55 gal drum
Typically, 55-gallon steel drum storage is reserved for gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, and other toxic fuels.

Re: radio ideas
A good replacement at a reasonable price, that fits in 2.25 inch instrument hole, and weighs less than 1.5 pounds would be a Becker.

Re: climb prop question
