    SB inspect heads

    biggles replied to jetjr's topic in Jabiru

    JJR , It's a bit crowded down there and best if you can lay on some sort of elevated platform to get a bit closer , which I didn't have , so a fair bit of squirming around . As indicated elsewhere on this thread , a good light source , magnifying glass etc. are needed . Bob

    SB inspect heads

    biggles replied to jetjr's topic in Jabiru

    I have just finished an examination of my engine cylinder heads using magnifying glass , torch etc. The whole operation from start to finish took about 3 hours . Found nothing , as I expected , but certainly worth keeping a regular check on . The engine has done 350 hours ( trouble free ) but as indicated previously , runs very cool with CHT's around 210 F in cruise . Bob

    Yeah that's right Steve .... Do it right from the start or you're rxxted . Other things include birthdays , forgetting to do the shopping is also a good one . I haven't been asked to shop for 49 years now . I've basically gotten away with murder, but as hard as it is , it's really for her benefit, sort of helps her self esteem . Mum always said " Bob sometimes you've gotta be cruel to be kind " . I've never forgotten that. Bob

    Who said anything about " wedded bliss " . Anyway, I'm not about to divulge something that took me 49 years to learn, so unless I have a change of heart you'll just have to do it cold turkey ...... unless of course you have something to trade ! Bob

    " My way or the Highway " doesn't work for me Steve . I just say " I think you have lost some weight lately dear " and that usually gets a fairly quick response to the bathroom scales ,quickly followed by me as the observer . By the way that's only one of two things I've learned during the past 50 years of married life ! Bob

    Having a quite day Bill ? Must admit it wasn't a really good look , but my wife does insist that I store them away neatly , which of course includes the laces being tied . Anyway , here's the other side showing a reasonable ground speed also, which I'm sure you will rightly agree is due to good flight planning . Bob

    Something like this will help to allay that fear . It reads ... " Fuel cxcks ( 3 off ) - OPEN " Bob

    Always pays to isolate the fuel to the engine when finished flying , although it did bring a serious defect to your attention . Bob
