not bleed down what so ever on my skis using the MAM pump. Howard's amphibs
would stay at pressure all winter long in the hanger as well...so I kinda
wonder if you guys have internally leaking cylinders or check valves. Just
a short park in the sun in -15c weather took the pressure from 100 to over
600psi shinning on my black stratoflex hoses. I'd left it a Zero after that
and went into the hanger today +12 to find the pressure at 550psi! Sure glad
I went with all solid (Stainless - only cause I had some preflared c/w
fittings that worked out) lines. Guess all I can say is YES, once you have
the airplane parked where you want it bleed to zero and check the gauge
often.

outhi andy i park with the nose gear pointing aft always then the
pressure can bleed off which it does and nothing happens
i`m going to make a set of the tubes that go over the rod on the cylinder
just for when i push backwards
what material did you use? aluminum tubing? how do you make sure it`s
asbefore takoff?

money. it's model designation is 0320. there is no suffix. it is the same
hi,
My 0-320, 150 hp, non-dynafocal mount, engine built in 1956 came from a
hasan 0-320-a1 i think. you are probably correct that since the 60's there
lastnot been an 0-320 mooney, but the logs that came with this freshly
overhauled 0-320 definitely say that it spent it's younger days flying
faster than it is now in my christavia mk=1.
almost all our lakes have become soft water, as opposed to ice in the
703 days. in fact i would have done my first 2005 water landing, but, i lost
hydraulic preassure after the plane sat on a blacktop ramp for 3 hours in
nosedegree temps. we finished our float install in oct so this was the first
warm high sun angle day she has sat out in.these conditions? or do you park with nose wheels castered aft and leave
question for the group???? do you release the preassure on you hydro in
100lbs on the system??? that is what i did and one of the fittings leaked.
for those who have not done this, i took off with 0 preassure and landed
same. no problem. i do wish i'd brought the "backup" pvc locks for the
whenwheels, but i left them on my ramp so i would not forget to put them in
problemi backed the plane into the hangar. i decided to put the locks in and push
it in frontwards when i got back to my hangar. i'll try to find the
tomorrow.
