Thanks Folks

I average about 13 US gallons per hour ....or approx. 50 litres per hour....been consistent for the past ten years or so....just was curious about you guys...O-470 Continental...

on a Cessna 180. What are you Cessna 180 owners getting? What do you normally fight plan on average per hour with an engine properly working on floats?

Ok thanks folks

Do you folks find it awkward to land with more than 20 degrees of flaps? I find that with more than 20 degrees, the manual flap control stick gets in the way of quickly accessing and operating the throttle and prop rpm knobs?

Do I just need to get use to it?

Like someone mentioned above, you can now contact your local aviation examiner office and get an appointment. You may end up on a waiting list but they should be able to get you in soon. I was able to get mine renewed two weeks ago.

Medicals re-open here in YZF with an aviation medical examiner....ecg's and everything else...was put on a waiting list two weeks ago....had mine completed yesterday...quite a few spots available by the sounds of it....slowly getting back to normal here anyhow as far as getting your medicals renewed...

I see in the thread that an attestation of fitness can be sent to TC. Where would I send mine to? I was able to download and pen the .pdf.

Thanks

Morning folks My medical is also due but I can't get an appointment here in YK until August. Is there another way to get it? Just saw this note from COPA this morning that we can do it via telemedecine? https://copanational.org/en/2020/06/04/medical-renewals-via-teleconferencing-now-possible/?utm_so...

Thanks again folks

What type of straight oil would you recommend?

Never mind folks

Just saw an old thread on that topic

Heard yesterday of an old exploration fuel cache being cleaned up.

Apparently 12 years old sealed avgas drums.

Would you folks use this in your plane?

We just replaced the starter on our Cessna 180 with another used one. Working fine for now but will likely look at getting a new one later this summer.

What would you recommend? Continental O-470.

Thanks

Thanks

Just ordered some from Princess auto. Will try this.

You guys know of a special method to drain the oil out of a continental engine on a Cessna 180 Without removing the cowling and not make a mess? It has a quick drain valve.

Always between where the Tazin reaches the Taltson river and Hill Island Lake.

Thanks folks

All very helpful.

The Tazin river is my old moose hunting area when I used to live in Ft Smith.
I moved back to Yellowknife in 2005 and no longer fly in that area but it is still one of my favorite hunting spot.

Thank you

What do you use for glassy water landing?

In a Cessna 180?

Just curious to know what you guys use?

Thanks folks

Very helpful as usual.

First compression check after the plane sat all winter (7 months) without running and looks like a couple cylinders read in the mid-60's. Cause for concern? Friend of mine engineer said it is not unusual after sitting so long and said to take the plane up and run it hard for a while and do another c...
