Hi guys,
Has anyone continued to use a 17" or longer pitch on a Stratus
with a 70" warp drive? I've been using 16" and it accelerates
about twice the rate of the Cessna I used to fly. I'm interested
in knowing if the coming summer and humidity is going to push
me back into a 16" pitch.

Larry,
I'll have do look back thru my records of saved info about prop setting for
our engines (from past postings), but if I recall correctly I've seen at
least two Stratus 601 pilots who have gone as far as 17 pitch, but
eventually both backed off to somewhere around 15 pitch.
I'll do some digging to see if I can verify that for you.
Kelly (16 pitch)

Howdy List,
Remember last week I asked about my water pump failing after only 100 hours on
the clock. Well I started wondering if my newly added Dex-Cool (red colored) coolant
had anything to do with my pump failing. I have been running the green
Prestone coolant for the first 100 hours, then I drained and flushed my coolant
system and changed over to the red colored Dex-Cool, and only a month or two
later (about 10 hours) my pump failed????
Thinking that was odd I contacted Mykal and asked him if Dex-Cool would cause problems
with our EA-81 engines (water pumps). He simply said "he didn't think
so".
But now I'm not so sure ...... I just came across this today.
http://www.girardgibbs.com/dexcool.html
It's a class action lawsuit against Dex-cool. Here's the jest of it.
Girard Gibbs & De Bartolomeo is investigating claims in connection with a proposed
class action against General Motors Corporation and Chevron/Texaco Corporation
concerning DEX-COOL.
Customers complain that DEX-COOL forms a sludge-like substance that clogs their
vehicles' cooling systems causing them to overheat, and that DEX-COOL corrodes
all parts of the engine it comes in contact with including the heater core,
water pump, hoses, cap, upper and lower intake manifold, thermostat, and engine
block.
Any one else out there running this stuff in your engine, & if so have you noticed
any problems?
Kelly

I have to say that is Mykal's answer to a few questions both from my experience
and those of the people on this board. "I dont think so" or "it should be ok"
seem to be his most oft used phrases. Not 100% confidence inspring for me
anyway.
Cheers
Brett
