Good to see a new video from you. Your videos are complete and entertaning and complete enough. Always enjoy coming along for the flight virtually. Keep em coming !!
With our O-540 engine, we can run it AT peak at a power setting of 75% or less (3-5 of the Lycoming Operator’s Manual). Rich of peak for best power, less than for economy. At 65% or less so long as cylinder temps are below 400, anything that runs smooth is A-OK… well, cylinder temps have to stay happy in any situation 🤓
I enjoy your videos. As a suggestion, can you tilt the forward camera downward so we can see your hand when you adjust the mixture, throttle, etc? Thanks.
Hi Jim, I can try that. I used to do that, the only problem is the camera then focuses on the panel and since it is in shadow it lets in too much light and people cant see outside very well. I can play with it.
@@pipercomanche2506 I had a similar problem (Camera Garmin Virb in a race car) and I tweeked the exposure compensation to -1.0. That reduced the exposure and allowed me to see both outside and my dash and gear shifts.
@@pipercomanche2506 another thing you can try is a gradient nd filter. They're used mainly for landscaping photography. What they do is put a dark (ish) filter on the top half of the lens and leave a lighter (or no) filter on the bottom half. Let's you get decent exposure on both the super bright sky and the darker panel. They make them for GoPro's too.
Interesting re: the boost pumps on a comanche. I fly a Cherokee and I don't have that issue. I wonder if Piper designed the PA28 fuel system differently because of that issue in the PA24s. And where are you heading on the east coast? I'm in NC, would love to meet you.
HI Dullgeek (love the name btw), it could be, one of the reason the Cherokee line continued was it was a less complicated air-frame making it easier, cheaper, and simpler to build.

I really like the Comanche. The plane is built like a tank and very slippery in the air
Great video Mike keep them coming!

Great video as always. Keep 'em coming!
Checked out your last few flights on flightaware, looks like the new auto pilot is performing well.
Yep..it’s way better at flying then I am. :-)
