    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Care and Handling instructions for the engines on the 247

The engines seem super sensitive to temperature of the oil. I can start them without issues, but the cylinder and carb temps don't rise, but the oil does super slowly, and as soon as you take off I get drops in oil temp as i climb which leads to oil pressure climbing REALLY high, like maxxing out I use the shutter, but the response takes time and then I get busy
 
I think the engine ops & systems depth requires some careful studying of the Manuals plus a certain amount of Pilot/Flight Engineer dual role activity on our part.
It's not a set & forget aircraft.:biggrin-new:

Watch that prop pitch, check that mixture. Easy on the throttle. You're comming in too high!
