Re: Green Airways

That's what I figured when I talked to Jack a few years ago. Seems like a really good operation. I was just scared there was a big up-rising within the ranks or other scary news. Sad to hear about one of the owners dying. I believe I have heard his name, just can't recall it at the moment.

Re: Green Airways

Do I give them a resume, or do I run and hide?

Also, 877 revenue hours seems pretty low for 5 aircraft in a season. Pilots sure aren't running into duty time issues there.

Make a double row with the 7 cyl R2800 110hp engine. 14 cylinders and ~200hp. That's closer to the power that an RV8 should have.

I'm curious, why is the prop on the HA turbo otter feathered? I see no operational advantages in doing so.

Two years ago, I worked for one company that treated their employees like crap. I didn't give a rats ass about that company.

Re: Best Bear gun?

Anything short of a howitzer and your not going to drop a bear. You need to trick the bear into thinking us flimsy little meat bags are actually stronger than it is. Rubber buck shot is going to cause a lot of pain, and the accompanying loud noise will probably convince it that you are stronger. If ...

Re: 185 Lean of Peak on Floats

Flying LOP won't hurt an engine if you use low power settings. For higher compression, normally aspirated engines like the IO-520, I'd be scared to go above 23" and be LOP. That works great in little over-powered rocket-ships, but in a C185, run it 24 squared, and 100 degrees rich. If you want to sa...

Re: Trent 700 engine whine

The C185 float plane prop goes supersonic at the tips. That's why the thing is so danm loud, 2850rpm on takeoff. I was talking to the the test pilot who did the STC in the US for the MT prop on the 185, and he said the primary reason for doing the STC was to reduce the tip speed and thus the noise. ...
