CPA

I second Kevin McDole's comments. CPA has no designs on our website. It's pure conincidence. CPA's courses (I've attended only one - the 337 course) are well worth the time and money for their...

I know Tom Carr personally and can attest to his extensive knowledge and love of the 337. His only interest is our safety. Things must be slow on Peter's site.

Sim Training

I don't know that it is sim training so much as it is the total package with RTC in Champaige, IL. You get about 6-8 hours in the sim but you get more hours than that of ground school which sharpens...

mag check

Thank all of you for the input. I failed to mention in my original request that I have a 337G normally aspirated engine. Perhaps the turbo is more sensitive but the premises mentioned should apply to...

Mag Check in Flight

My mechanic is chasing a mag drop in my front engine and chastized me for checking my mags in flight. I told him that's the only way I found the problem. I have checked mags in flight for almost 50...

Rick , at 140K indicated, I don't think it's the tail booms. What model are you flying? T or P or normal - what version?

Eustachio, I'm replying to my own reply because the link for Deakin's article does not seem to work. Here's how to access it: go to www.avweb.com - then in the "search" blank enter "pelican's perch"...

XWIND

I have a 1976 337G normallly aspirated. The book says the "maximum demonstrated crosswind velocity" is 12 knots. This is not a limiting factor - just what they had when they did the original flight...

Takeoff power

I have a 1976 337G normally aspiritated and always use full power for takeoff. The engine is designed so that if the throttles are firewalled, there is a richer mixture than when they are pulled...

Yes, front engine feathered itself on CAVU day by myself with about 120 gls fuel in 1976 337G, normally aspirated. After I settled down, I decided to continue to my destination - my home field where...

Cessna Service Bulletins

Sorry that didn't work. I am surprised Cessna doesn't want the information out for safety purposes (to cover the butts, actually) rather than try to collect a few dollars per SB.

Keep my $10....

Thanks folks! I'll do some checking first. I just assumed the panels were at fault but it may be the power supply. I'm sure both panels are out. I like the idea of strip lighting even over the...

Smile GX60

Keven,

I was not aware of a fix. Thanks for the information. I think I am going to have to send mine back for a display fix anyway, so will get it updated. Thanks again.
