I will definitely use those lists. I read thru section FAR 43. I didn't see anywhere a clear description of the timing of the annual inspection. If my airworthiness certificate was granted July 7, do I have to have the inspection completed by july 7? Is there a "grace period"? Is there a special logbook entry to be made? Thanks -- Tom Sargent ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:15:49 AM PST US From: Louis Willig Subject: RV-List: Engine Operation Hi gang, I have had a question about the operation of my RV-4, IO-360, with old style Hartzell prop for the past ten years. I posed this question to the list once before, but received little response. I talked to Lycoming yesterday, and got an interesting, but not definitive, response. So here goes: The older Hartzell prop has a limitation of 2100 - 2350 continuous RPM ( due to harmonics), and I have always kept the RPM in the 2400+ range when slow cruising at 18"-21" MP. A very experienced co-pilot felt this was a "sweet spot" when flying my plane. Only recently, have I experimented with 18"- 21" x 2100 RPM. Yes, its quieter. But it feels strange. Lycombing assures me that this is perfectly fine. They also say that my original 2400 RPM settings are fine, and do not impair the life of the engine. It feels as though I am lugging the engine. Lycoming assures me I am not. My gauges assure me I am not. I just want to know what other RV pilots have experienced, and how they like to fly behind this engine/prop combination. Thank you, and good flying. Louis ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:20:03 AM PST US From: "Ralph E.

Most pilots I know like to have the books signed on the first day of the month so you really get thirteen months Sent from my iPhone Brian Alley carbonfibercomposites.net 304-395-4932 On May 17, 2011, at 1:32 PM, thomas sargent wrote: > Thanks for those great responses to my question about the annual.
