I have the JPI EDM-760 on my 500, works great. The Fuel Flow is great
too.
You lean to ROP or LOP, whichever you choose in a flash, no guesing at
all.
Highly recommended

Hi Randy... just as well - apparently I was talking through my hat. My
brother tells me that, while the download features are good on the
AuRacle,
it is only available for a limited number of aircraft.
God bless,
Andrew

Good Afternoon Victor,
I totally agree with the convenience of having good engine instrumentation,
but could I offer a new twist?
Rather than use the term LOP (Lean Of Peak) some folks are suggesting we
call it Green Of Peak or GOP. When in that admittedly lean mode, we are being
much more friendly to the environment by reducing the carbon emissions and we
are running the engine cooler which is always good. The idea of being on the
"Green" side sounds good to me!
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

Thanks for the advice Bob. Hadn't heard it before.
I thought GOP was Grand Ol' Party, just kidding
>From now on I'll use GOP
Speaking of green, have U seen the article on bio diesel fuels used on a jet
engine?
Let me see if I find the article or the link

Jet flies on fast-food oil
By AOPA ePublishing staff
Bio JetThe day may come when the private and commercial jets crisscrossing
our skies run, at least in part, on plant-based fuels that don't contribute
to global warming or resource depletion.
That's the goal of pilot and entrepreneur Douglas Rodante who, on Oct. 1,
made the first jet flight fueled by 100-percent biodiesel. Rodante and Chief
Pilot Carol Sugars first flew a Czechoslovakian-built L-29 aircraft around
the pattern before making a 37-minute test-flight at altitudes up to 17,000
feet the following day. The aircraft, which is rated to run on a variety of
fuels, including heating oil, required no modifications to run on biodiesel.
"This proves that we can implement bio-fuels into our existing air and
ground transportation system," Rodante said of the first flights.
Rodante plans to make a cross-country flight from Nevada to Florida at the
end of November, as soon as he and his team have satisfied several FAA
testing and safety requirements. And they hope to modify a Learjet to make a
high-altitude round-the-world flight next year. The test program is being
conducted by Green Flight <http://www.greenflightinternational.com>
International and Biodiesel <http://www.biodieselsolutions.com> Solutions.
So just what was in the biodiesel used in the test flights? Recycled
vegetable oil from restaurants that has been treated with an additive to
remove the carbon chains. For the longer cross-country flight, the team
plans to use canola oil that has been similarly treated, but these aren't
the only possible sources of biodiesel.
"It's important for people to understand that we can use a lot of different
crops to make biodiesel, many of which do not compete with our food crops.
There are plants you can actually grow in the desert that would work,"
Rodante explained.
Even with the promise shown by these initial flights, don't expect to board
a commercial airliner running on biodiesel anytime soon. The fuel does have
a tendency to gel at cold temperatures and its solvent properties can cause
short-term fuel system clogs in vehicles that have previously been used with
traditional fossil fuels. But scientists and amateur enthusiasts alike are
working to resolve these problems and expect that some mixture of biodiesel
and traditional fuel will make its way into the mainstream in coming years.
"You don't have to use 100-percent biodiesel," said Rodante. "We're doing it
to make a point. But if we can implement even a small percentage of bio-fuel
into commercial aviation and land transportation, the reduction in carbon
emissions would be significant and contribute to alleviating our global
warming problems."

Enjoy
When I was learning to fly in 1967 in Merced, Calif., we had no control
tower. We were taught that after engine start-up, we should pretend to call
the tower for taxi clearance.
Another pilot trainee started his engine, then immediately started to taxi.
The instructor stopped him and advised that he had forgotten to call for
clearance.
The trainee thought for a second, opened the pilot air vent, and, over the
roar of the engine, yelled, "Clear!"

LOL no kidding....the worst greenhouse gas isn't carbon dioxide by any
means. It's methane. And methane is totally unregulated and we're
spewing uncountable millions of tons into the atmosphere every
year....but you'll never hear about that, since the whole global warming
thing is a political issue, not a scientific one.
Anyway, burn all the avgas you want, methane isn't a byproduct, and the
carbon dioxide is a low order greenhouse gas....
Regardless, anyone who thinks that we'll stop burning oil before the day
when there's no more of it in the ground is pretty naive in my opinion.

After installing 2 brand new turbos the waste gate controller is now
spewing oil and needs to be overhauled.
Does anyone have serviceable units around?
Search is over so not so urgent but another pilot could go missing.
