336 Tips
 

Mr. Grant, thanks very much for the insight regarding the care and feeding of our 336. During my phone conversation with you I recall that the important points were:

Checking the baffling around the rear exhaust where it exits the cowl and checking to torque the nuts that hold that exhaust Y every two weeks.

Holding 15" MP steady during the approach to enhance elevator authority and control descent with the front.

Max of 20 degrees of flap for take-off.

Keep on top of mangeto and fuel system maintenance.

Lead with the rear prop. Keep a spare. Don't feather it on the ground.

Check to insure free reverse travel on the starter motor.

Did I miss anything?

I thought I'd throw up the old cargo pak installation docs, since several asked over the years.
