That's right, those APS guys are making a profit out of the courses. It's no wonder they sprulk (sorry ... spruce) them. The presenters had hoped to get real jobs and amass some real wealth, but failed at that and now need to rip off course attendees.

LOP with your eyes closed and without instrumentation?

A lot of those fantastic manuals for simple piston aircraft say the leaning procedure is to lean until the engine 'runs rough' and enrich to remove the roughness.

After complying with this procedure in the manual - to stay legal and safe of course - where on the lean curve is each of the cylinders?

When you use the same procedure 'cause it's in the manual for a different aircraft with a different engine to stay legal and safe of course - where on the lean on the lean curve is each of the cylinders?

Do you need your eyes open to feel roughness?

It's all part of the joke that just keeps on giving.
