Eric,

Matt,

Thanks for posting those. Looks like it turned out pretty slick.

I thought the original post was about the skewer that holds the door open too, and I'm glad I followed it to the bottom. That thing that Matt installed is really cool. One of my pet peeves is people 1) throwing the doors open, and 2) slamming them unnecessarily hard. In either case, this looks like ...

Is this the part?

No photo on the Univair website and I don't have the paper catalog with me.

I need to do my 5 hrs dual for the insurance requirements in my 170. I'm already tailwheel endorsed, but a relatively low time pilot, so just need somebody to put some time in with me on the 170 and put their John Handcock in my logbook.

It also maintains HTML markup standards better, which may fix the problem you're having. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Google it. I just b...

Craig,

Where did you find that gem and where did it spend its life to accumulate so few hours?

As I understand it, the tachometer reads prop rpm, which, at the hub, and any point on the prop, is the same as the engine rpm(non geared engine), so they are essentially the same. Don't confuse that with angular velocity at point x on the prop blade.
