Easy guys, we're all friends, right?
Here are a few points I have discovered in the three (almost) years I've been flying with my LS1.
? I cruise at the same speeds as the other two RV-10s at our airport
? I burn the same amount of gas as they do
? I change oil as often as they do
? Our most frequent comments are about the high cost of Garmin databases
My biggest question to myself is, why do an engine run up, at all.
There's no mags to check.
All I do is cycle the prop one, or two times, because I always did it in the past.
The real reason I do it is so that other guys don't think I'm being cavalier or reckless....
