I reported the other checklist items. Did you report the checklist lock up and what might have caused it? I'll give it a try next time I'm in the Stearman.Hook

I reported that issue during the beta testing.

You can submit stuff to the tutorials section, I put my 'Simple Radio Nav' tutorial in there, just takes a few days to be approved.But I was thinking of making a set of web pages, optimised for a touch-screen 7-inch display (like my android tablet ....).Only problem would be getting agreement to use other peoples stuff (and getting a web-site without all the clickys...., which is in progress)According to the r/w Stearman notes, it came with two different engines, with different oil pressures. Just need to know which one Flight represents...BTW we should all read Cannibal Queen by Stephen Coonts, a r/w Stearman owner and author...CheersKeith

Forgive my noobishness, but where might I find this "tutorials section" you refer to, Kemosabe?? :)

Thank you! :)

According to the r/w Stearman notes, it came with two different engines, with different oil pressures. Just need to know which one Flight represents...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing-Stearman_Model_75 reports a Continental.

The model in Flight is a PT-17. Wikipedia reports the PT-17 uses a Continental engine."PT-17 With a Continental R-670-5 engine. 3,519 delivered"Hook

One nice detail we have on the Flight PT-17 Stearman.

So thatsnormal 50-75 psi, 50-60 deg CI've updated the checklist, but theres still a discrepancy with the USN Pilots Notes.eg USN _ warm up at 700 RPM, MS - warm up at 1550 RPM, but MS are doing mag checks too, so its not just a warm up - you wouldn't do mag checks at 700 RPM...Are there any other Stearman pilots notes available?CheersKeith

Here are some good sites for the Stearmanhttp://www.stearman.net/http://www.sunzeri.com/Stearman/docpage.htm

Another things I'd like to mention now that we're on checklists

another one from me: would be neat to have 'conditional'c checklists. I mean I do not need the before engine start checklist if the engine is running. or the before takeoff checklist if I am actually flying at 7000'. would keep the amount of options low and availabe checklists could fit on 1 page...

'conditional' checklists

Occasionally I like to review a checklist that would have been missing under your conditions. Some form of simplification would be nice though... as long as it didn't add more complexity. :DHook

"Quote-Keithb77" : "BTW we should all read Cannibal Queen by Stephen Coonts, a r/w Stearman owner and author..."I totally agree Keith . Read this book at least three times . If you are a Stearman fan like me , I think everyone should give this book a try . Rich
