Hello
I'm still building, but my buddy's around me are flying since a while. We want to buy the service tools that we need to keep our RV's in good condition.
One is cylinder compression ... ok, but there are many supplyers and different styles like simple ones, differential pressure tester with or without orifice ...
1. ACS, simple one.http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/ep/test/comptestkit.php
2. ATS, differential pressure tester http://www.aircraft-tool.com/shop/detail.aspx?PRODUCT_ID=2E
3. ATS, differential pressure tester with master orifice http://www.aircraft-tool.com/shop/detail.aspx?PRODUCT_ID=2EM
Which one should we buy and how does they work?
Do I run the engine by hand to get the compression up on the manometer, or do I use the starter for this?
Do I need compressed air to get the tester running?
We run Lycoming 320 and 360.
Any help to make us smarter are very welcome
