    Connecting a temp sensor for telemetry

    You would be surprised. I did a before and after test with rear baffling and it told me I dropped 40 degrees. My spinner is no longer warm to the touch after a flight.

    Pop goes the prop!

    Had that happen before about 5 years ago. In talking with the importer (DA) they made it right by replacing it. Worth a shot anyway.

    Rant......Pre assembled fuel tanks.

    I bought a fuel cap off of "Littlecrankshaft" thru his ebay store. Uses an O-ring to seal in the neck of a Fiji bottle. He included the metal fittings for the fill and vent as well. Set me back $20 shipped to the house.

    3W 106 strange behavior

    Cool, I got into the habit of putting some Threebond 1211 on the gaskets to alleviate any source of an air leak. Just a little bit though. Air leaks and stock ignitions have been the only problems I have had with my 106 and 110.
