Paul Smith’s Cessna 185 with Leading Edge Exhaust

Just thought i would let you know how my new exhaust is going. I’m “Super Stoked”.  I’ve done 400hr in our 185 the last 6 months conducting skydive operations in Australia and can see a good  improvement in the power/climb & CHT/EGT’s. The climb to 14k is about 2 minutes faster with a full load of skydivers, which works out to be about 2 litres less in fuel! In Australian $ that’s over 4 bucks a load… 1600 skydiving loads a year, that’s a good saving!
