915is/916is in a Cruzer?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Peter Buehlmann Jul 8. 4 Replies

I'm looking at the Skytek FWF with a 915is or 916 in a Cruzer. Probably a 915 due to cost. I am primarily looking at this turbocharged engine to ensure I don't get stuck in a downdraft at 14,000+ DA.…Continue

I would also like the cruise performance to be able to take some short cross country trips.Mark Pensenstadler posted something recently that made me wonder how the airframe handles higher airspeeds, in terms of noise and vibration. My best guess at high speed cruise with this engine is 125kt TAS or…See More

Hinge corrosion protection

I notice that the hinge pin of a MS20257-P5 is cadmium plated. However I cannot find info on the aluminum hinge pieces, does anyone know if those are anodized? The hinge available from Wag Aero is anodized and appears similar to what is in the kit, so my guess is it is anodized and requires no further protection. Just curious what people are doing regarding priming or corrosion protection for the hinges.This is the spec, but it can be either anodized or not depending on the dash number which is…See More
