After much time spent chasing wries, inspecting mags, etc. my mechanic now says he believes my tach indicator is bad. Both engines jump around in random fashion. The FE has been intermittent for some...

Jedi, your comment about go arounds and engine failures was a little confusing. I think you meant that in a 337 vs other twins, you do not raise the gear. Is that correct?

Unbelieveable! New Engine

That's the most unbelievable thing I have ever seen. Max power at 102 rpm. You' have to have a huge grear system to get the prop up to 1,800 rpm. At 1600 gph of heavy fuel oil, your range would be...

Apollo GPS

Sorry, Francisco! I just realized they may have made a model 2001. I thought you were referring to year number. I'm not familiar with that particular unit.

Apollo GPS

They make several models. Which one did you buy, Francisco? I think they go by model number, not year number. Portable or panel mount? (the model number will tell me if you know it.)

Fuel

Funny. I just tried to order a Shadin unit for my '76 337G to be installed at the annual about to start. They are 4 to 6 weeks out on delivery, so I didn't order.

The dipstick method may work on the...

Wayne - you mention 400 "series" autopilots. There is the straight 400; the 400A and the 400B. They are not alike even though numbered the same. I have a 400A in a 1976 337G and when you engage the...

Wayne, I stick to the regs, no more than 30 minutes if at 12,500 and no higher without O2. Actually, as long as I have a kit on board, I put the mask on at 10K. At night, I'll put it on above 6K. May...

Fly hi - normally aspirated

I fly from MEM to EGE (Eagle, CO) on a fairly regular basis in a 1976 337G. First of all, you didn't mention oxygen. For absolutely sure buy a good portable kit. I have a precise flight bottle with...

Fixing the legs

Does anyone know a 337 with the gear permanently fixed and all the junk involved in the up/down train removed? Somehow, I got the impressiion that the FAA frowns greatly on this and no one has ever...

Meigs

It looks like they left the taxiway intact so locals can get out. It'll be interesting what happens when the "alphabets" get busy - AOPA, NBAA, EAA, NATA, GAMA, etc!

Sounds like long range tanks, afterall. The owner made a lot more fuel stops than he had to and probably was some 300 lbs heavier than he thought he was!
