Looking at a 7fc with a metal prop and the spinner back plate is fiber glass. What should be on it as it doesn't seem like it would be possible to torque it accurately with fiberglass in the middle. Or is this just the way it is? Thoughts?

Tucson Wet Microburst | August 8th, 2015
A time lapse of a strong thunderstorm that dropped a couple of wet microburst. One in particular was captured really well in the time lapse thanks to the sun peaking?

I have a brand new set of L-2 lift struts that I purchased from Wag Aero.
They were built by Safe Air repair before Wag Aero bought them. So I
presume that Wag Aero has drawings and fixtures to make them. My first
airplane was an L-2B which I wrecked. I am rebuilding it. I have all the
ribs built and new spars made. I also built tooling to make new spars. Are
they going to use wood leading edges? I have new 45degree birch plywood
skins.

Local folks (KCNO) are restoring an L-2B and they need front struts. Anyone
knows where they can get or repair them?. Does Pete Plumb do those also?

Thanks, I probably should have added that this is an O-200 and has been
converted to a -CCM, though it seems you answered my question anyway.
Thanks!

For those that fly the Aeronca in the southern states with a o-200 or o-235
what are you using for oil?
I was up yesterday afternoon 98 degrees on the ground with X/C 25-60 and
the temp went right up to the 230 mark.

Should I switch back to a single heavy weight oil down here in Texas?

I'm a fan pf single weight and from March to November keep 100 in the
kidney. Have a case of 65 for the Winter months.

An oil cooler makes a world of difference.

I've always used XC 20W50 in my A65. It was being used when I got it. That was 1000 hours ago. One summer a few years ago, I did switch to Aeroshell 100 (50 wt) just to see. I did not notice any difference at all. I went back to the 20W50 and stayed there. You should be getting 60 wt protection with your oil at the high temp end of of it. I don't think multi or not will affect oil temp really. My opinion. roger

I've read semi-synthetics have better anti corrosion abilities than pure
synthetics.

Phillips agrees with you. (See below) I've always read that automotive oil begins to deteriorate at temps around 240. For that reason, with my motorcycles I've used synthetic oil, which doesn't begin to cook until much, much higher temps. Does aviation oil have qualities that lets it function at higher temps than automotive oil? roger




* I use synthetic engine oil in my car, is there any advantage to using synthetic engine oil in my aviation piston engine?



Full synthetics and synthetic blend motor oils are marketed heavily for use in automotive applications because of their ability to provide better performance at very low temperatures (often with 0W- or 5W- viscosities) and better oxidation stability at prolonged high temperatures in support of longer drain intervals promoted by automotive OEM's. It is our opinion that the advantages which make synthetic and synthetic blend engine oils so attractive in automotive and trucking applications, rarely apply to the needs of aviation piston engines using leaded fuel or specifying a SAE J1899 engine oil.

Mineral-based multiviscosity oils provide excellent cold-cranking and cold flow characteristics in line with what one might expect from a synthetic. On the other end of the temperature spectrum, most aviation piston engines operate in the 190 ? 210?F range, well below the capability of the oil. An additional important distinction to make between automotive and aviation applications is that aviation piston engines are serviced, rightfully so, at very short intervals which eliminates the need for extended drains sometimes associated with synthetic oils.

Synthetic oil is incapable of solubilizing engine contamination and combustion by-products (synthetic blends provide better solubility than full synthetics because they are mixed with mineral base oils) in aviation engines that run on 100LL fuel. Mineral-based formulations provide the best natural solubility characteristics which is why they tend to run cleaner than their synthetic blend counterparts.

For many pilots, it boils down to a simple economic evaluation that mineral formulations provide everything their engine requires without the unnecessary added cost and unrealized benefits of a synthetic or synthetic blend.

I use AeroShell 100 Plus here in St Petersburg FL. I'm told by Shell reps at SnF that it is more protective against internal engine corrosion in the hot humid salty air on the Gulf Coast. The oil temp stays at about the ambient temperature plus 100 degrees throughout the year. Average summer temps are in the high 80s and low 90s. And density altitudes are near 2000' at sea-level.
This summer I've been in central North Carolina where the temps have in the mid to upper 90s and frequently over 100 on the airport. I've been using Phillips 20-50W here because I have a source that buys it in bulk and sells me a quart an his cost. Oil temps have been ambient plus 100 here also.
My engine is an O-200 with about 100 hours since major overhaul.

I use 80W all year around. Tried the multi and it was fine, but in Seattle, it's pretty mild.

http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=76408

^ ^ ^ Has a summary of Mike Busch's webinar on oil. The additives added to multiweights are because
they drip off surfaces quicker than single weight oil. So they need the proofing to avoid issues.
Single weight seems to be better.

It was working hard as I had a stiff head wind and had to run at 2500 rpm
to maintain 70 mph..... any less and I think I would have been going
backward. we did have a density alt of 4200 as well. Just makes me nervous
when it runs that warm.

Thanks for the input. I may go back to using straight 100 and see what
happens

On another note , this was the first time up with the new prop at 40" (book
says a could go to 38 but i went to 40 , from 44) I now reach 2600 rpm if I
want at straight and level flight.
Was hard to tell but it seemed to help as well on take off but it was
really hot too

We just returned to AZ from nearly a month in Tacoma, WA. Our route took us
I-90 to Yakima to I-84 Boise ID then eastern NV south. As soon as we hit
I-84 we encountered smoke which at times was thick enough to make for IFR
conditions.
We drive by miles and miles of burned and smoking land. The smoke was with
us until we were close to Las Vegas. It seems like the entire West is
burning. L
It's good to be back to warm and sunny AZ.
