The mast was 57lb shipping weight (cardboard box), and the associated kit (leather bag) was 28lb shipping weight.
The only thing not perfect was the paint, as the outer layer of paint is badly peeling off. Me? Don't care too much about that.

Re: 710K front antenna tubes (find or replicate)
I have a discone option (Diamond Antenna D-130J), but discones are a bit fragile in the field. I'll probably use a yet-to-be-purchased 2m antenna, or my 2m/70cm Slim Jim on a PVC support. Most of our field time is 2m band VHF.

Re: 710K front antenna tubes (find or replicate)
I now have one of the antenna masts from SAV. They're pretty sweet, actually. Model is Geroh 5985, 6m Manual attached. 19ft4in from bottom to top when fully extended. Takes a 1.0in mast of up to just under 4ft into the top section, so in the end it'd be about 23ft tall if you kept the whole thing co...

Re: 710M vs Garage Height
To avoid the whole door issue, I opted for a sheet-style roll-up door. Similar to what you see in commercial settings. Gets the door 100% out of the way, above the header, and not overhead the inside area when it's open. But this only is an option if you have sufficient clearance for the roll. I tuc...

Re: 710M vs Garage Height
That's fantastic thanks! That feels me that removing some trim plus deflators should solve my dilemma. I hate the hassle but if it's the difference btwn having a pinz and not it'll be worth it. Thank you for the details. 100%. Airing down WILL make a difference, as noted by the data. And consider i...

Re: 710M vs Garage Height
Do you own this garage so you could modify it? Often there is a trim board under the header that you could remove provide the Aesthetics Committee approves. That'd buy you at least 3/4in. You may need every bit you can get. Also, be very careful about bounces and entry angles -- that can reduce your...

710K front antenna tubes (find or replicate)
I'd like to find or replicate the original accessories that would be clamped on the front of a 710K. Some folks just put PVC tubes there, but I want to match the original parts as best as possible, presuming they don't exist. Can anyone help with pics, dimensions, links, etc? I see these https://swi...

Re: Hard starting hot
I believe this is one reason the carb-to-intake gasket is so thick -- thermal insulation.

Re: crankcase ventilation
So....air/oil separators are common on aircraft (also aircooled), and often the subject of much debate. Some say they're super smart, and others say it's like putting a tube from your mouth to your, well, "backside". Read some arguments here: https://cessnaowner.org/point-counterpoint-do-y...

Re: crankcase ventilation
Rather that compare the Pinz engine to a lawn mower, I'd say the crankcase ventilation system is comparable to the VW engines of the era in which it was designed.

Re: 710K front-to-back CG?
Since no one had this data to share, I went off and borrowed some racing scales to collect data. Here's what I learned: All numbers are with the truck fully-fueled. Additionally, the truck has the standard tool kit, and a ham radio setup with a 20Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery and stubb...

Yes, send them to JimL down in San Bernardino. He'll test them on a real engine after rebuilding them.

Upper left in the attached photo, just to the left of the red flasher knob. The white knob above the socket turns on the power to that socket.
