    What pitch to use on a 582 3 blade 68" Kiev 2.58 gearbox

    I got the engine running today. The wooden propeller from the 532 wouldn't fit, so I started off with my new 68" Kiev three blade propeller. The instructions said that the starting point for a 582 should be 11-14, so I set it at 12. The old 532 Tachometer seems wildly off, so I have connected...

    Swift vs Westach dual EGT

    Anyone have any opinions on the swift dual EGT and probes? My Westach had one probe die and during troubleshooting half of the gauge died. I can get a new Swift gauge and probes for just over $100, but the Westach is over $200. Opinions on either or both? TIA

Since this device obviously has some pretty nasty pyro in it, I just thought I...

    Avid Flyer B model with old 503

    I recently acquired an Avid Flyer B model with no logs and a single ignition, water cooled 503 with an estimated 230 hours on it. The aircraft was built in 1989. I am guessing this is one of the early conversions and with no logs, I can't say that I trust it. Additionally, I am guessing that...
