Thanks,Swaid Rahn Dennis,While the mental image of your cat's face in a 200-mph wind may seem hilarious, there might be a better option than super glue. Dramamine is an effective palliative against motion sickness. It also happens to be a great sedative, and safe for cats. http://www.drjeffnichol.com/?p=1696--Mark On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 1:03 PM, Dennis Ramsey <doramsey@gmail.com> wrote: Does anyone have any experience transporting a cat in a carrier in their airplane?

Would appreciate feedback. Many interesting and informative posts about flying high. Here's my 2 cents' worth: 1. I think Bill misspoke when he advocated the use of a pressurized mag above 18,000. With a naturally aspirated engine the spark plug firing voltage drops as the altitude (and manifold pressure) drop, so it is no more likely to cross-fire at altitude than at sea level. With a turbocharged engine you have a completely different story - pressurizing the mags is almost necessary. 2. Any ignition system that advances the ignition timing at low manifold pressure will give a significant advantage in power at high altitude - more so as the altitude goes above even 8,000 feet.. When the altitude gets above maybe 15,000 the advantage becomes huge. Anyone that is planning to fly long distances at high altitude with a naturally aspirated engine would be foolish not to consider electronic ignition on at least one of the two mags. My thinking is that electronic ignition on one side is worthwhile from 12,000 to 17,000 and you need it on both sides above 18,000. 3. Filling your O2 bottle from a welding tank is worthwhile in two ways: It is cheaper, but also the convenience encourages you to fly higher - a good thing. All O2 is the same. The process used to make it pretty much precludes the inclusion of any impurities. Medical O2 just costs more because of the gov't certifications required. I bought a refilling system (Mountain High can guide you there) and have a tank in the hangar. Yeah, it would be good to have two, but it probably isn't worth the hassle, for me at least. I don't fly that much, but I haven't refilled in 5 years and I routinely fly above 12,000 feet (usually with only the pilot using from a MH pulse system). 4. Cooling shouldn't be an issue with a naturally aspirated engine, but it is. Problem is that most of our planes are probably marginally cooled (mine is) and we usually have a more conservative personal red-line for the temperature (like 400 instead of 450 or so) than in a certified plane. So, for instance, I usually climb at an IAS above 120 and that works well. Until I get above 15,000 feet, and then I have to reduce airspeed closer to the best-rate speed, Vy. It's that reduced IAS during the climb that causes the trouble. What to do? No real solution, but I installed cowl flaps to help out. It's fun (and safe) to fly high!
