It's a 177RG. I suspect it's not selling because it's close to TBO. The real problem is not the Cardinal though, it's the L39 I own with a couple other guys. Can't afford both and since the RG is so much more boring it has to go.

I've owned a 1978 RG for 20 years. Due to the costs I finally quit flying it last winter. Been trying to sell it since. Can't seem to give it away.

"more complete burn and higher combustion efficiency giving easier starts and better throttle response." That's some funny chit right there. Backyard mechanics always crack me up. They're so Dunning-Kruger.

The study of what happens across a plug gap mainly involves plasma physics. It's also why secondary waveform analysis can be so valuable. I'll also say that, next to oil, "performance" ignition components are probably one of biggest scams perpetrated on an unsuspecting motoring public.

Fwiw I've used G05 in my MKIV Supra for years with zero problems. The cooling system still looks near pristine. Dunno how it'd work in newer Toyos though.

edhackett: I do not. Not interested in doing so either. My partners are also against it. crinkles: If you do decide to get into it and after you learn try different things to keep your interest up. Aerobatics, tailwheel, gliders, etc. In fact, although I've flown a lot of heavy iron during my...

ATP here. Own a 210 and an L39.

Kahr CW9. PM9 if you like tiny. Too small for me though.

My daily driver is 23 years old (bought new) and has never had any of its bleeder screws opened. The system has never been flushed nor even bled. Original master cylinder too. All that's ever been done is master cylinder fluid replacement at each engine oil change. Other than pads and one set of...

He's right you know...

One thing I never understood is if the Prof could make a radio out of a coconut why couldn't he fix a hole in a boat?

I'm sorry to hear about this. I put my dog down 3 days ago. A mutt from the pound, she was my faithful companion for 15 years. It's never easy.

I once stopped on the freeway to change a woman's tire. That led to us living together 14 years. Still not sure if I was punished or not :)
