Soooo, an accountable executive can't even take a holiday?

Tell me more - my aircraft was/is a tail dragger.

FYI - there are two types of 1650 floats. Careful. 1650 & 1650A and they are different. Spreader bars have different spacing.

I hate to harp on this topic but as mentioned by others there are surprises and just think about what you are attempting to do and if it is necessary close to the ground.

On previous post we got off topic and discussed slipping with flaps. I argued, no. There was support to slip, and why not because the aircraft had to demonstrate it for certification, hmmmm. Well here is a link that tells you why not. I experienced the same thing in a 170 and if I was 100 feet lower...

We put a restrictor in the line and the pulsing is gone, whew.

digits - can do no problem

Thanks for that info.

Well we recently put new lifters in and changed oil, but we are now going at the pressure relief valve and governor and ..... Decided a wet line might not tell us anything right now until we trouble shoot some more.

Dynon EMS-D120

However a wet line has lots of dampening so might not show the problem.

digits,
Well that is a good idea. Maybe just throw out the digital. I've never seen a wet gauge fluctuate.
Thanks will do as suggested

Yes, dammm it, lol. I do hate this system, but the future. However last week we (more trouble shooting on another prob), checked play in throttle cable and there was about 1/4" play Then noticed carburetor full throttle went past carb stop and we took carb apart to see if more than full throttle had...

Constant speed prop. Have very slight movement (noticeable) in mp and rpm.

I'm an analog not digital guy but got talked into a glass panel in my amateur built amphib. Is it common to have the digital oil pressure gauge fluctuating up to 8 psi? Everything else normal.

Thanks to all with answers. This, even after 60 years of doing this has always been on my mind. So now I wait for a CADORS, lol.

Oops, the beginning of the runway, lol.

Curious if there is a regulation where you can or can't join a base leg. Does it always have to be before the end of the runway? Could it be half way down a long runway?

Thanks Hornblower. I wasn't baiting a Transport reply and yours is exactly what I was looking for. Wonder if there are others out there doing it?

PilotDAR - Does that circular apply to amateur built aircraft? I can't imagine going through that complete program to be able to carry an external load. Side slips and spins and we're looking for a test pilot.

I've done a lot of trips with 4 x 8 plywood on the Beaver spreader bars and wondering on a smaller aircraft how critical it might be. Let's say a 172, 180, Maule or ? Anyone with experience? I don't want to know what if what if, just have you done it without any adverse control? Baby the bird up and...

Bede - I've been "advised" not at this time. Sorry, 8 years of hell and I want to scream but..........

Bede - you mean the 57 pages plus the 300 pages of answer to demands? Yup

Someone had the guts to challenge Transport Canada and the Municipality of Muskoka
