Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: W100 versus W100Plus According to Aeroshell web site, W100 Plus has the addition of the anti-wear agent used in the multigrade 15W-50. From the Aeroshell web site: AeroShell Oil W100 Plus is a new single grade oil that combines proven AeroShell ashless dispersant technology with advanced antiwear additives. It is the oil for pilots who want a single grade that delivers extra protection and performance. AeroShell Oil W100 Plus brings together the best qualities of two of the world's best-selling four cycle aviation oils. It has the single grade, ashless dispersant performance found in AeroShell W100 and the anti-wear/anti-corrosion additives of AeroShell Oil W 15 - W50 Multigrade. It's single grade heritage means outstanding resistance to heat, especially in the summer months. Its ashless dispersant formulation reduces deposits of harmful metallic ash in combustion chambers. And its advanced additives work against rust, corrosion and wear in a way no other single grade does. There simply is no better single grade aviation oil.

So..I'll use the Plus version from now on then. I have bought it in bulk for the same price as the normal W100. Again, thanks!

Folks: 

 

I am new to the Yak community and am looking for a preventative maintenance manual for the systems and the M-14P.  I have the M-14p manual and carb adjustment information from the RPA but am looking for a scheduled maintenance and inspection of systems protocol.  Does such an PM manual or document exist?

Van Staagen" Subject: Yak-List: Best Fuel Economy Settings A few people on this list have been talking about installing Fuel Flow measuring equipment in their planes. I've also noted that these systems can be integrated with a GPS so you could get best miles over ground per gallon information. Then, the compelling question is, at what prop and manifold settings are we seeing the best mpg?

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Best Fuel Economy Settings Peter, You should first have your manifold pressure instrument calibrated by an avionics shop. It's very easy to adjust by removing the screw at the back of the instrument. Regardless of what I or anyone else says is the so called "best" power setting to achieve the best MPG, it will depend on barometric pressure, altitude and wind speed and how well your carburetor is "tuned". In other words, it will vary greatly depending on conditions. The fuel flow instrument when coupled to the GPS, including a handheld, will display the MPG which you can then play with the prop and manifold pressure. Simply saying, "set the prop at X and set the manifold pressure at Y" is not going to work very well because of the variables previously mentioned. >From my perspective, it's the best $500 I've spent on the airplane because it does allow me to save fuel. And at $5+ per gallon, it doesn't take long to pay for itself. Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter K.

I recently sold a aircraft in which I had installed a FS 450. too complicated to use. Shadin is much easier. Now have a 18T on the water to Australia and hence interested in the instrument that you used. Cheers and regards, Chrs. ----- Original Message ----- From: A.
