      <description><![CDATA[I used the 172Q climb and Cruise charts for Flight Planning and it was within 0.3 US Gallons. 

For the engine burn-in at full power I had 14 GPH at low altitudes with no leaning. The engine fuel flow chart at % rated power that came with the STC should be in the aircraft documents and it seems to give you a good cross reference to the theoretical fuel flows. The weight, temperature, leaning and density altitude will all affect the actual fuel flow.

There was an NTSB Letter on fuel consumption dated April 11, 1994 that you should also read. The Massachusetts Air Reserve also have some data on several 172P aircraft that were converted from 160HP to 180HP. The only discrepancy on the latter info is the Climb Speed. The 172Q with the 180HP engine has a climb speed of 73 KIAS but they seem to have kept the 172P climb speed of 76 KIAS. It may be due to the Fuel Weight. If anyone has the rationale for this difference, I would be interested in hearing it.

      <description><![CDATA[I just purchased a 206 fork and a 6&quot; tire for the front of my 61 172 B. I want to put a 6 or 7&quot; tire on front and 8:00 mains. I see right now there are 4 listed for sale on the internet with the same setup but they are all in Alaska. I have heard that these parts are optional for the newer 172's but I will need a field approval to use them on my plane. 

My mechanic asked the FAA inspector here and he said he wouldn't approve the swap. My question is: do I need to fly to Alaska to find a inspector to give me a field approval? (seems Like they are much more open minded up there)  Anyone had any experiance with this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Most kits come with all of the necessary info or parts to complete the installation. A good alternative if you have to drill a hole in the panel is to install a c/b switch rated at whatever the system requires. The best system I have found, being user friendly, dependable and install friendly is Whelen. This system is a little pricey, the only other one I would consider is Aeroflash. Both of these come with all of the necessary STC paperwork...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Larry, I would give the wiring a good shake down again.  Sounds like a direct short, either on the A+ or Alt field wiring. A short on the main buss bar could also be a problem. The intermittent nature is probably due to vibration.  I would assume with the 180 H.P. conversion that most of your alternator wiring is new, which makes it more puzzling.  Good luck.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If you get completely stumped and cant find the problem check the venturi in the carb and make sure it is seated tightly.  To be honest i can not remember what the symptoms are when that comes loose but i do know they are not good.  I believe the engine will quit. Just something to check and try good luck]]></description>

Cessna

Engine Baffles has some

McFarlane has a few
