Jim,
I know of a guy that let his plane sit thru the winter in
Rochester N.Y. and then in the spring took the plane for a spin. Shortly
into the flight he smelled something burning. He brought the plane back
and on inspection he found that Chipmunks had hidden their nuts in the
heater shroud at the muffler. HTH

Hope somebody can help out here... Last two flights in 6A(500hr TT,
hangared, south Texas) have noticed stong odor right at liftoff.
Something between dead rat and burned pizza. Definitely organic, not
wiring, rubber or oil. It comes and goes during flight, maybe a little
stronger at zero G. Fades at touchdown, completely gone by shutdown. No
other aircraft anomalies observed.
There is a faint odor similar to burnt toast at the oil filler door.
Detailed engine inspection revealed no bird nests, dirt-dauber
dormitories or other usual suspects. No wires or hoses anywhere near hot
parts. Nothing in cabin heat or fresh air scat tubing. Next to check:
tail cone and wheel pants.
Would sure like to hear from anyone who has solved a similar problem.
And yes, the pilot's diet and bathing habits have been ruled out

Hi:
any one has photos off the isntallation of the wheel fairings? I bought t
