I always left mine without tension. I just replaced mine for a crack in the same
area. 4 years old.

What tools and things should I have on hand for an oil change? I've just
hit the 10 hour mark and really don't want to make a mess of things in
my nice clean engine compartment.

Good luck with that. I have used the plastic bag technique with some
success...and some failures. Place a plastic bag around the filter and hold
it up against the engine. Spin off the filter and let it drop in the bag.
Wipe off the little bit that drips off onto the engine.

I use a Form-A-Funnel under the filter when spinning it off. Awesome
product.

Can't remember where I actually bought it.

I second Rene=99s technique with the bag, and the fact it
doesn=99t always work as things can go bad quickly if the bag
moves away. I=99ve had better luck using ziplock bags as there is
more rigidity where I hold it up against the engine side of the flange.
Putting a number of paper towels under the oil filter helps save the day
if oils seeps out. Poking a hole in the filter and rotating the hole to
the bottom side helps empty a lot of the oil that would otherwise want
to run all over your firewall/nosegear before you remove the filter.

You can also punch a small hole on the 'top' side of the filter to let
air in so it'll drain some of the oil trapped in the filter. Put a
piece of tape over the hole when you remove the filter .... and use the
bag. You'll have the cowling off to get to the sump drain so that
leaves the floor to catch the drips ... ;-)

Highly second this recommendation. I bought mine through Amazon and it
does wonders for keeping things clean. They have various sizes. This
is the one I bought:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V9L16Y/
I put it under the oil filter to direct the runoff.

Interesting at the various methods used. I found that a simple plastic
container, like an old butter container, fit perfectly to catch the oil
from the oil filter. It fits nicely on top of the fuel pump and is
captured by a couple of hoses in the area. I have never had a drop of
oil spill out.
Of course, do NOT forget to remove the butter container. I actually did
this once. 25 or 50 hours later, I discovered the butter container
sitting there. Oooops! However, amazingly, no oil spilled out. Someone
was looking out for me and no aerobatics. ;)

Forgot to mention, that i never had much luck with the quick drains.
Personally, i would not bother. I had one of the quick drains break. I
dont like them. The hose you have to use, creates more of an oily mess
than anything. The less *stuff* you get oil on, the better, i think.
I let the oil drain into a 5 gallon bucket raised up closer to the
engine. Do the butter catcher thing. Replace the filter. Replace drain
plug. Then add new oil. Done.

A quick drain plug and a hose is also helpful in keeping things clean.

| Subject: | Dynon autopilot settings? |
Does anyone have Dynon autopilot settings they like for the roll axis? I'm
talking about torque, sensitivity, turn rate limit, bank limit as on the
"legacy" (D100) system--not sure whether the Skyview is different. Mine
seems to hunt a lot, especially in heading mode. Thanks...
