Ed,
I may be more than you want to spend but you could always upgrade to a C
box. Since it is a stronger box and includes a rubber damper bushing you will
end up with a very smooth and reliable alternative. My feeling is that by going
to the Warp to avoid prop damage during a strike you may be shifting the
weakest link job to the gear box.

I went to the hanger yesterday to get some empty fuel containers as we
were going to town and I want a bit more fuel on hand. I have a clear
tank that I use to mix the gas and oil, so I poured out one of the 5 gal
containers that I had filled up about 10 days before into the clear
container. I was very surprised to see that it was about the same color
as it would be when I had mixed in the oil. I got it just over the
border in Nev and it has been sealed in the plastic container sitting in
the dark in the hanger. I am not intending to put it in my plane just
because the color is so strange. It is too darned hot to be walking back
home from the places that I fly. I'll burn it in the lawn mower or the
quad. I know that we have someone on the list that works with gas
distributors, just can't remember who. I have noticed that there is
quite a varying color range in gas purchased in different places. My
question is- does the color have any impact on the suitability of fuel,
and would storing it in individual containers at OAT have an adverse
effect, and if so how long would it take to not be usable. I might add
that the stuff smells ok.
Thanks for the help

Mike, $1314.00 for the C box at Airwolf. GULP! but a new B box is
worth $810.00 and you can sell your B box.
The best time to do this is when you buy a new 447 and opt for the C. Only a
few hundred dollars at that point.
Bryan M has installed a few of these configurations on Fireflys and they are
very smooth.

Richard,
What tipped you off there was a problem with your B Box at 200 hrs?
What is the normal life expectancy of a B Box? And lastly, is it likely to
cause a forced landing if the gear box fails? I dont recall of any post on the
list involving failed gear boxes. I have ran Mobil 1 Synthetic since day one.

The bearings spinning in the races and on the shaft was a dead
giveaway... before that it had a lot of metal mung around the magnet on
the previous two gearbox oil changes, so pulled it apart to see what it
was doing. Sent it to CPS, they said it was cheaper to buy a new one
than fix it. This was 12 years ago, I was using a 66" two blade Warp on
a 532. Since then I have used only Mobil One synthetic and the oil comes
out clean, almost no mung on the plug magnet using a 68" two blade Ivo,
B box. I think the Mobil One is the ticket. Thanks to John H for the
heads-up on that one.

Hey Group,
Are there any of you flying with any of the EFIS units? I have two
Dynon D10A units. One will be installed in my Kolb MkIII, and the other
will be as a back-up to my Blue Mountain Avionics EFISOne in my GlaStar.
Up to this point my only experience is playing with them on the kitchen
table. They sure do look cool, and show virtually instanteous response to
movement.
For the Kolb, I'm going to have the Dynon D10A EFIS, built-in Garmin 296
GPS, Icom A200 NavCom, and King transponder. For my engine "steam gages",
they are in an overhead panel, you just look up to see them. (overhead
panel includes gages, ignition switch, clock, intercom and light, and
switches to various things)
I was curious about anyone else's experience with any EFIS units, 'cause
you don't seem to hear much from this group on any of the avionics in their
planes.
Mike in SW Utah
