Subject: | Continental A65 8F |
Went by an A&P friends house today to ask some questions about my new
A65. He handed me the manual for the A65 and told me that whatever I
wanted to know would be there. I've started reading and one of the
first things I noticed is that continental recommends cruising at 2150
rpm (top rpm is 2300). The seller of N502R told me he cruised at 1850
so that is what I have cruised her at. I'm wondering what RPM the rest
of you folks that fly behind an A65 cruise at? I'm still using mineral
oil to break in the engine. What motor oil works best for you?
I'm also wondering what prop others have found to work best for them?
I'm up to my ears in work, so it may be a while before I get to fly
(first I have to fix an oil leak) and see what 2150 rpm does for my
cruising speed.
Thanks in advance for shared information
Gene

Gene-- I cruise at 2150 rpm using a 72" x 42 pitch wood prop and get about
71 mph from my A-65 in the Air Camper.
My prop is a good combination of good climb and fair cruise speeds. I
think Jack Phillips has the same size prop if I'm not mistaken.

Mike
That sounds about right! I cruise at 85 mph in the 1946 7ac Champ ( cruise
pitch- Sench Prop )
but everything I've read on the 65 Cont. Piets sounds, Spot on, (give or
take strong head WIND!)
That can set you back big time !!!!!!!!!! I once followed the 401 Hwy from
Toronto to Windsor ground speed of 57mph everything was passin me
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Planning to make Oshkosh this year? . I will be going
,if so I'd Like to see you Airplane up close ,not just in the video
Maybe I'll see you there

Good Joke,
Hello Dick, Do not archive please!
Just couldnt resist, sorry list but is a good joke about Jelly:
I was caring for a woman and asked, "So how's your breakfast this
morning?"
"It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem
to get used to the taste" the patient replied.
I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet
labeled "KY Jelly."

I have a A-65 and burn about 4.5 gph when flying around 2000 msl,
better burn at 3000 about 3.9 gph. I go back and forth between 100LL
and mogas. Just be sure there is no ethanol.
Has anyone ever taken a sniff of Marvel . Smells like Vasoline
Petroleum Jelly to me.

Hi Everybody
Well it looks like Steve from Maine will be at Brodhead. I know it has been
said before but I never thought I would be going so......... I did not pay
attention.
Could somebody give me the times and things to do and see. I remember
something about buying a dinner ticket early. Did we have to buy a pass for
the weekend etc? I will be meeting my fianc who is driving across country
with her 13 year old son and two dogs. Her son has just completed 6 months
of intensive chemo for ALL luekimia and we are all looking forward to some
fun.
Are leashed dogs OK? I assume fiance's are ok off the leash but I might be
on a short one for that comment.
As I have not yet seen a Piet in the flesh I'm looking forward to it. In
fact it is 1.30 am as I write this. I feel like a kid the night before
Christmas. Looking forward to meeting some of you.
Thanks and best regards
Steve in Maine
