Syncrophaser

Our Synchrophaser is out. It's been out a while, but it used to work.

When I put it in the "sync" position, the light just flashes but doesn't sync up, even when I have matched up the RPM's very...

I would be interested in seeing the study you are talking about. Where do you get it?

On the subject of engine monitors, I tend to agree with you. Or at least, I agree that fuel savings are not...

RT Aerospace has them available new (see links page). Supposedly nicer than the factory pods, but a little pricey.

I strongly suspect (but can't prove) that the #1 factor in engine longevity for the piston fleet has more to do with usage patterns. Or, more accurately, lack of usage. I doubt that there are many...

It would be great if somebody did a scientific survey of engine longevity in the "control group" (manufacturer recommended settings) versus the "experimental group" (gami's / LOP).

Unfortunately,...

As Kevin mentioned, there is evidence that running at 100 ROP may be the "wrong" thing to do.

Here is my take on that. In the articles I have read by the LOP proponents, they say that the power...

LOP vs. ROP really isn't an emotional issue for me.

It appears to me that it works, and that the LOP advocates have done a better job of making their case with actual data than their...

It sounds like the front engine is probably running excessively lean at full power settings. From what I understand, it is very important that you are getting red-line fuel flows at these...

Kevin M. mentioned John Deakin's rebuttal of the Lycoming paper earlier in this thread.

Just make sure you count all of your fingers after you shake on the deal.

We have the 400A as well. After having it worked on a couple of times in the past 5 years, it works great most of the time. The other 5%, it doesn't seem to work at all.

Is your guage part of the the "cluster" instruments? It is on my 76P. If so, it's pretty hard (or impossible ?) to find an STC'd replacement. I do recall that someone is making a complete...

400A Autopilot Manual?

We have the standard 400A supplement in the POH. However, we have heard "rumors" of a much more in-depth manual for the 400A. Anybody got one or know where to find it?

If they would be willing to do another one at that price, I think I might have to give them a call.
