Message Today we flew for 6.3 hrs and everything was great again. We
calibrated a few items including the electronic governor for the IVO prop.
What a difference that makes. Also calibrated the PSS AOA and the Dynon AOA
and they each are phenomenal tools. The engine is running great with no
major issues at all. I do have a little tweaking to do on the low MAP table,
but nothing urgent. Then only problem that I had today was that my Sony Vaio
laptop doesn't seem to like high altitude. I have a small Vaio and have
built a place for it to mount easily and use it to display Jeppenson's
FlightMap in-flight GPS program. It works great until 10,300' where it would
then display the blue screen and then reboot. After the 4th time it refused
to reboot again so now I'm forced to use the system recovery disc and wipe
the disc clean. I hate to think about all the files that I said I would
back-up soon... :-(. My old laptop still works fine(using it now) so maybe
I'll try it tomorrow.
All hard drives have a spinning platter with a read/write head riding a cushion of air just above it. Go to 10,300' and there isn't much of a cushion left. The head will fall into the platter turning at 7500 or 10000 rpm. I think you'll be lucky if the drive ever works again.
