Re:503 exhaust gas temps
Hey Ronnie, Maybe Tim is loppsided or he needs a string, man! That is wierd!
No , really it's me. I usually fly in the calm, so my winds are the ones I make by going forward. I guess you could say that I was never really comfortable with the old AC in any type of wind. I'm just over-cautious! In the calm I was totally in command.
When I would read Stan's posts about flying his AC in windy conditions I would think," Maybe I'm doin something wrong". Now we got that new guy- Tim O. out there flying the exact same machine in freezing, windy conditions while taking photos! (show-off).
I guess we all have different comfort level,& I know mine!
I can tell you this: After flying my new CLT AC, I know that this is the way for me to go! What a difference! No more waiting for those perfect nights & mornings. No more changing my shorts after hitting some thermals. Doug Reily felt the same way about his old 447, I think. I wouldn't recommend anything but CLT, especially to a beginner!
Thanks Stan I understand the string thing & will be using one on my new machine. Smoother & more efficiently are the key words, Right?
