Fred:

Thanks for the reply. I understand how to get the nose up so that the strut extends. I just don't know how to get at the filler valve. Can I reach it from underneath the aircraft?

PS Can...

My nose strut looks low to me. I want to check the pressure to see if it is where it is supposed to be (35 psi extended), but I can't figure out how to get at the filler valve. The parts and...

My aircraft is opened up for annual now. The rear floor inspection covers have been sealed with RTV. There is no sealant under the front floor inspection plates.

I have had the same problem. In my case, the fix was simple. There are two wires coming out of the mag for the tach. They join the wiring harness through individual spade lug disconnects. In one...

I have had this problem in my 73 P337. It is caused by voltage fluctuations in one or both alternators. This fluctuation is caused by resistance in the voltage regulator circuit. This resistance...

size does matter

I think you could make a contrail, but it would not be like what you see from jets, or from the WWII bomber formations. A jet or a big radial engine burn a lot more fuel, and put out a lot more...

Try Norman Echtinaw. I don't know if he qualifies as an expert on 337's, but he has worked on them. He is a fantastic A&P, and he is honest and straight forward. I know him through CPA...

I'd be surprised if this pump would be suitable for planes with boots. On the 337, they require a larger vacuum pump for booted aircraft than the same plane without boots. I would imagine that it...

Rick:

As far as I'm concerned, it depends on how many engines you have running. With both engines running, the drag factor is pretty much a non-event, and I put my gear up as in any other...

Colin:

I normally climb at about 120 mph indicated. This speed keeps the nose down low enough to see over it, and gives plenty of cooling. At these speeds, with full fuel and two or three people,...

I have had this problem, and from what I've heard, it is not uncommon. There are at least two "generic" causes. One is that the regulators are swapping the load back and forth, and the...

I suspect that the prohibition of operating both engines from one tank, and whether it works or not, is based on fuel flow. Another note in my POH (1973 P337) also warns that in the event of failure...

Don:

No RPM drop on either side sounds to me like broken P leads. It happened to me, with my factory reman. I think there were wire connectors that were not properly connected in my case.
