I replaced my oil pressure line a couple of years ago with two 20 inch -3 Teflon/Stainless sections. The -2 fittings for the -3 line were available but not commonly stocked. Part number for the lines was P/N 12400IRRA-0200-C

25 years ago, on a daily basis, I flew a Sedan on Edo 2000's with a 180 hp engine. At the time, we were transporting fishermen to small remote ponds to fish for brook trout. When we first bought the aiplane it had a short constant speed prop and would haul a couple passengers under most conditions, ...

For those of you that deal with an IA who is comfortable with replacing stock parts with those that qualify as "equal to or better than", the following information might be of interest. This information does not specifically pertain to primer lines, but primer lines could be replaced in a ...

STC SA00103BO allows the installation of all aluminum, airline type,eyeball vents as replacements for the original leaky Cessna vents. They shut completely, allow the air to be directed toward pilot or copilot and fit in well with the look of a classic airplane, manufactured before the plastic age. ...

I agree with Mike that an experienced tailwheel instructor should be on board for the first few wheel landings. For instance, several years ago a student pilot in this neck of the woods spun both tires and severed the tube stems doing highspeed wheel landings. An experienced instructor would have kn...

One thing I'm learning about the people on this site is that they have different priorites, which is logical. I've never been focused on whether my engine went 1300 hours or 1500 or 1800 hours. Frankly, I've treated several engines in the same manner and some have done much better than others, for n...

I installed the K and N filter and saw and increase in RPM at the same airspeed during climb out, as opposed to the brackett. The K and N filter did rub on my cowling after flight, but an examination of the removed brackett showed that it did as well. I called Challenger and told them of the situati...

Shawn, Let me answer all of your questions except price since that would be selling, using the forum. STCSA00189BO covers the 170-B and the 170-A ( serial 19219 and higher) The STC references Cessna 180 landing gear axles ( P/N 1441003-1). Check with your FSDO, but according to the theory of PMA app...

Some more information for those contemplating installing 1441003-1 hollow steel axles on 170B aircraft. The 1441003-1 axle was designed for use on the Cessna Model 336 airplane and since that time has been used on some versions of the following Cessna Models: 180, 182,185,205,206,210,337, and milita...

Tom, I check the backlash in a gear train assembly on a regular basis 12 inches from the shaft centerline. The backlash at the gear pitch line is converted mathematically, by ratio, to a 12 inch arm. In our case, the maximum backlash at 12 inches is 0.125 inches. Your situation may be totally differ...

As I said in an earlier post in this thread, my AME read to me the limits for all classes out of his handbook. 155/95 was the limit for 2nd class and may have been the limit for all classes, but I was only concerned about 2nd. That was the limit for untreated blood pressure. The AME went on to say t...

When I went on blood pressure medication my Medical Examiner showed me in his handbook the blood pressure limits for all classes. As I remember for second class it was 155/95. He said from his experience, that many pilots who depend on their medical for a living have a hard time with those limits du...

One painted 170B gear leg ( no axle ) from my 53 model ( not lady leg ) weighs 29.2 pounds.
