HI KIDS.
Anybody got their issue of Plane & Pilot?? There is a great article
on Chris and Dan and their trip. great photos and story!! (Check out the
photo on page 62, recognize the driver??)
I just got back from delivering a 2001 American Aircraft "Scout" from
Edmonton, Alberta to Reno. 11 degrees when I left, BURRRRRRR!! It was a boring
trip, just like I like them. I had dinner with Jerry Kent, the owner of the
680 in Tennessee that we all heard about. He has the "Heavy Hartzell" props on
now and has hired me to do some test flying and ultimately deliver the
airplane to Canada. My next delivery is a Waco UPF-7 from Caldwell to Tennessee,
BURRRRRRRRRRR. Oh well, that is why I earn the big $$ jb

HI KIDS.
I forgot, I was able to take a look at a couple of really nice
Commanders still earning their keep. Tucked in a hangar in Edmonton were C-GEOS
and
C-GOEG. EOS is a nice 690A with dash 10s, winglets and on very nice overall
condition. GEOG is a 680F with the Mr. RPM turbocharged engine conversion.
Both are used for high altitude Ariel photography. Bothe are being lovingly
maintained.
Also, The mechanic who cares for these airplanes gave me a really
important tip. He pointed out the Lycoming manual calls for the valves to be
adjusted every 400 hr. I had never heard of this and don't know anybody who does
it.
He claims that the last pair of IO-720s ran 2400hr with only one premature
cyl removal. He attributes this to making cretin that the valves stay properly
set. He also recommends that they be set at or near the maximum clearance
(They never get a bigger clearance) The book stated 50 - 80 thousands. He
likes 60- 80 and you cant knock success!! jb
