What concerns me, is that it used to not be there. I wonder what causes it to bethere w/in last 10 hrs. Maybe the next sortie.. I may tape a thermometer ontoleading edge of gear leg and see what it reads.oil temp in flight seems steady at 165 deg during 3+ hrs flying yesterday...oilpressure, nominal, etc.. so I don't think anything is happening internally onthe A65. I suppose I could just make peace with the idea that I could alwaysabandon the machine inflight if it ever decides to catch fire...no biggie--------KLNCA65-8N2308CAN HardwareAirframe 724TTW72CK-42 SensenichStandard Factory GN-1Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Engine out.. again

Ok. so I was told i'm only 7 landings away from a glider rating..I flew today for the first time since my engine quit..Lucky me... I was at pattern altitude this time.. just turned downwind.. lost power..I cant imagine it was carb ice but that's my first guess at this pointthe plugs are tan and beautiful ... I drain gas from the gascolator... looks great.engine temps were good... oil pressure good...the intake was warm after I landed... but it wasn't doing much for the glide ?could have warmed a bit temp was 80 dew point 52 wind calm humidity 37%its getting old... landing on the taxiway and rolling right to the hangar was funny....and the fireman at SDF were bored anyway.jeffI don't really want a continental faithRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Engine out.. again

Jeff; that's got to ruin your day, although it's adding to your proficiency inhandling engine outage. FYI, check out this graph and plug in your ambient tempof 80F and dew point of 52F:http://www.kfackler.com/gtuf/carb_ice.htmlIn this case, the green region does NOT mean "you're safe". It says "serious icingat glide power".--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 14:32:40 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Engine out.. again

Maybe it is just a light oil film from the breather. The cont. engines will pushout extra oil if you run them at the full mark. I usually run mine between3 and 3.5 quarts to keep the mess to a minimum. Oh, if your plane is covered with the Stitts / Poly Fiber it will not burn. Letme rephrase that. It will burn if you hold a flame to it. When you take theflame away it stops burning. If it is covered with dope, it could burn.

Hi.After a forced landing from climb out with A75 up front the Air Accident Team included this graphic in the report of the case.In essence their report and all other information they had on file indicated carb ice could build in just about any sort of combination of temperature, humidity and flight sector.In my case after copious use of Carb Heat prior to take off and a full power climb out I thought I would be immune but no.A 500 foot take off at full power run over wet grass strip was perfect for carb icing.Take a look at your Carb heat setup and ensure it does what it's meant to do.RegardsGerry________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: new guy

I added some baffling to my carb heat muff. .. welded to the exhaust pipe.Now I have a 55 rise in temp from ambient. So I was seeing 120 in the inlet yesterday. It made the mixture a bit rich. I'm going to run more and adjust the carb. Anybody else know how much heat your making?
