Fellow BCP'ers, I had an experience out in the backcountry, and I've given myself a few days to try and forget about the events. However, it is still lingering in my mind. Maybe this might be somewhat...
I am wondering if any BCP'ers might know what made this "clunk" sound today.
After a normal start of my IO-520 with MT prop, the engine idled perfectly for about 10 seconds before a very brief but noticeable...
I ran across this event recently. I haven't heard anything about it so I figured I would just pass it along here. I have some time free that weekend so will plan to attend. We go to Seldovia frequently...
This is not a post for the guys who fly into a backcountry strip and pile out of a plane with big camp chairs, tables, coolers, cases of bottled water, badminton sets.....or maybe it is.

Current list price from Garmin is $2036. I will sell for $1000. This is a great transponder, but I bit the bullet and installed a GTX 345 to meet the ADS-b mandate....
This came off my Cessna 185 with an IO-520D. It has about 400 hours on it and the cones were disintegrating. I replaced it with a new one.
Before I throw this away, does anyone want it? I don't want...
Thought this group might appreciate the beauty and magic of snow, airplanes, skis and kites. Mark Reed is the owner and CEO of Prism Designs and Prism Kite Technology. He was up visiting me last month...
Looking for a little input on what my prop might be worth on the used market.
It is a 3-blade 88" McCauley D3A34C401-C. H90DFA-2.
400 hours since new in 2007. A few very minor gravel nicks.

I removed the 149-12PM and replaced it with the 149-NL in order to flip my prop a bit better through the first compression stroke in the Husky.
The 149-12PM has been a good starter and is 1 pound lighter....
