• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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!
