2350 Report
 

Flew down to Iowa yesterday to have lunch with a college buddy who is a doctor in Cedar Rapids. Had a great lunch on the tarmac discussing families, covid and the good old days(like 2019). On the way home, I flipped over 2350 hours while cruising over Northern Iowegia.....



Got home, dropped the oil, and here are the details:

Sump screen - 2 chunks of crushable carbon - only ran the safety wire thru my finger twice getting that sucker re-tied down.

Oil filter - Lots of little carbon chunks, little if any metal

Compressions - 78/78/78/76 Cold

Plugs have 50 hours and a nice tan color

Moxie supervised the entire operation.......

Congrats, looks like the engine and airplane are happy campers.

More gas and less overhauls!

Little dude!
 

Loved the pic of your little dude with the polished plane - he is getting big!!

Sigh,,,,,,,,the wife won’t let me take him out of Kindergarten for flying adventures Anymore......needless to say I’m more than a little bummed.

It's a well known fact that no passenger has ever remained awake more than 20 minutes in Pete's RV-9. Closing the canopy apparently has the same effect as the sleep pods in the space opera movies. It reflects a high degree of confidence in his pilot skills, or maybe it's just carbon monoxide ;)
