Until, that is, I got a level tie-down. The problem was that no matter what, starting with an asymmetrical fuel level always lead to asymmetrical fuel all the way through the flight regardless of how carefully I filled to "level" it on the ground before I set off. Never had more than 1/2 a gallon fuel imbalance the rest of the time I flew the plane from the level tie down. I also forward cut the left vent tube as per Craig and all the local guys. That always helps. Nanchang CJ-6s = 50+ years operating just they way they roll off the factory floor with no issues.

It was the prop hub. Though the linkage did have some issues, as soon as we pulled the dome and oil piston, the blades wouldn't turn with all my weight on them (they're supposed to turn by hand easily at that point).

That old grease turned into something else. Vladimir is expert in servicing these things if you do not want a traditional prop shop. Most of the seals are the same as V -530 Russki prop.
