We have read with great interest what you have to say on the LOP vs. ROP debate and follow your excellent advise. Whenever your name appears on the list we sit up and listen. I cannot believe there is any IV-P operator on this list who is not running his engine LOP in cruise unless they are have expectations of doing a top overhaul every 300 hours with this TSIO-550 engine based on your postings and work at ADA. The baffling / cooling issue has intrigued me for some time now as I believe it is a problem. If there ever was an offer to share the solution with the rest of us here in the background on the list I am not aware of it. As my aircraft is based in the USA, but I live in South Africa, I would just love to hop in the aircraft and come for a Saturday morning "seminar" event, but for some of us, that is not always that easy to schedule. If the timing is right, I will be at the first one there. Can I suggest that if you are aiming to put this information of what you did to fix the customers aircraft into the "public domain", but don't have the time or inclination to write it up or make a few bucks out of it, that you allow one of the attendees to take some pictures and post them on the LML. With a few pictures we will be 100% capable in most cases of figuring out the changes required to improve our aircraft, at least as a starting point. I appreciate the time and effort you have spent on this subject and thank you for your generous offer and look forward to the "seminar". Best Regards, Allan Saul / N203AF.
