My engine seems to run rougher lean of peak. So I tend to be alittle bit rich. So far so good, even if I spend 2 gals per/hr more, I think it is worth it for longevity of the engine. Any thoughts?

Rocket II

I just saw the "Riley Rocket II" on controller.com. I'm not sure it's anything more than a regular Riley Rocket but with different wing tips, and perhaps newer avionics. But considering regular...

Flew solid IFR in my plane yesterday. Real nice instrument platform. However, I'd love to have a pressurized and fly over the weather. So my normal aspirated Skymaster is still for sale.

Yes, I tightened the screws as much as possible with a small thumb screw. But it is so tight in that area. Did you have to remove the valve to tighten it more?

I looked at their web site. I didn't see anyting less than $5k, but more like $10k for what you really want/need. Handheld GPS with all the displays (flight, map, etc) is still a best buy for me.

Still have a sweating valve. Although, selecting the "OFF" position seems to stop it while on the ground. Any suggestions on what to use for a gasket?

The main landing gear themselves create lots of drag, because during retraction it rotates and the wheels turn into a barn door.
