I have the same issue on my T Lance with oil on the belly. When you talked about the wash procedure, I was confused when you spoke about draining the intake along with the oil. Is there a written instruction for doing this I can use?

I’d be glad to talk you through it. PM me.

The wash concoction will end up in the jugs, the case, the exhaust, and the intake. You can minimize the amount in the exhaust and intake, but some will still get in there and you don’t want to ingest it and hydrolock a jug.

Also, I was able to avoid installing the air-oil sep. We rerouted the breather and .... call me.

Jesse, I have a flap hinge cover kit you can have dirt cheap. If interested I’ll look for it.

Is this what you were talking about?

Other than oil on the belly, what would be a reason to suspect this process should be completed? Is it more of a general MX thing or are their indicators leading you to believe there is a problem?

I saw on a few other forums where people are basically doing the same thing, but with MMO.

I believe I have what you are referring to. Let me know the details though.

If you have a stuck ring, you may be experiencing blow by as well as oil on the belly. The link you posted works 10x better than MMO in my experience. I tried both.

Mine will not do that! Great video!

No, Jesse, my tug can not do that.
I wish it could.
:sad:

The Snowbot! Pretty handy. They need to cut the price by half.

Yeah, price is nuts. Worked well on snow/ice mix this morning.

Great thread Jesse.

Can you comment about engine cooling. What CHT’s are you seeing? What is your takeoff FF?

Username Protected · **Posted:** 02 Jan 2019, 12:32

Yes mine can do that. And it also can push the snow off the ramp at the same time and keep your feet dry.

I was going to go with that one but had trouble fitting it in the baggage area.

With two planes in one hangar, the lazy susan is a worthwhile upgrade by the way.

How does the Towbot compare to a Best Tug? That thing looks pretty slick!

Ok Jesse, we're about to have a remote control tug war. My Best Tugs Romeo (remote control version) should ship this week. Probably won't have a snow video from Fort Worth. In fact, I'm not sure the Romeo will work in that kind of powder.
