      Same issue with a JPI. Appears this is the wrong place for an OAT probe.

      Yes, you would think so. I will call again Monday…

      Thank you Roscoe!

      I called them and they said the approved propellers were listed on the STC…

      I will call again.

      I have heard better climb and cruise with the sensenich propeller. True?

      I have the Precision STC for HC pistons, the flight manual supplement only authorizes 2 McCauley propellers. How do I get the approval for a Senesnich 61? 74 AA5

      I put the powerflow on my 74 traveler recently. I didn’t notice much, maybe 30ish RPM increase static with the McCauley cruise prop. Sounds nicer though…

      Fuel flow is maybe down .2 gph. This is with the high compression pistons.

      Lots of repairs going on now but I think EIS will be on my list.

      According to the maintenance manual the balance must be checked after painting. The procedure is in the maintenance manual too, though I have not studied it. I downloaded the maintenance manual from this site.

      Thank you Roscoe, next oil change I will check the compression and if still low give the oil a try.

      Powerflow exhaust should ship later this month. Will try to get as specific as possible on my before/after numbers.

      No one has answered so I will jump in with my first post. I am far from an expert, I just bought a 74 traveler in November. It has the Precision STC and the 7359 propeller. It has done some sitting prior to me and the compression is not that great. 74/68/73/71. I bought a digital tach so I am confident in the RPM numbers. 40 degree days in Seattle I get about 2330 RPM static. At 100 mph climb I get a bit over 2500. With stronger compression I would consider a 61 but I am more interested in getting off the runway than I am in going fast.

      I hope using fly therapy the compression will get a bit better…

      The cigarette lighter itself is rather worn and rusty. I have had to jiggle the USB adapter to make contact. Where would you recommend I look for s new one? Do we use the $90 TSO version?

      Thanks Roscoe!

      I wondered if the cigarette lighter came off that way but didn’t want to force it.

      I pulled the 4 screws and the window over the guages was taped in place.
