After 18 years of great pleasure in owning and flying our B model my dad and I are planning to sell it. I am not sure what paper work is required. I know I need the bill of sale form but is seems I read something about a "Sales Contract" but I am not sure what that is. Does anybody have a ...

I had to replace mine last year. Seems my ELT (Alert 50) was just fine, but the battery was obsoleted. Good way to get ya...Anyway I put in the ameriking one, had to dismantle half the overhead and panel to cut in the newly required indicator and "phone" cord. Hope, I don't have to do it a...

Jeff, I found myself doing the same think when my dad and I purchased a 52 B model. I could not figure out why every time I lifted the tail I was on my way to the weeds. Come to find out at the first annual that the shims at the wheel were put in backwards. After fixing the problem, no more problem ...

I concur, just installed the Zeftronics regulator and it “cuts in” at about 1000 rpm. The old regulator “cut in” was 1200+.

We have had them open for picture taking. The window will stay up against the wing if you remove the catch bolt in the latch. CAUTION, my dad took a real estate guy up once to take some pictures. When they opened the window it departed from the airplane tearing the aft hinge off. Seems the front hin...

I just received my form for filing this year's "Claim for Exemption from Property Tax of Aircraft of Historical Significance". The reporting requirements for this year have been changed, requiring a "Certificate of Attendendance" from the event coordinators when the plane is disp...

Rod, I just went through this. If you "search" on Generator you witll get several posts on what to do to trouble shoot the Generator/Regulator. One thing I learned when doing the test to isolate the Voltage Regulator make sure all radios and lights etc. are turned off. Ane watch the amp me...

I just purchased the large area washers to comply with the service bulletin. I think they were about $2.75 each totaling about $20. My rollers were just fine. It took me about an hour to change both sides.

I am thinking of fogging the airframe at this year's annual on our 52 B model. Have used ACF-50 in the past. It works well but leaches out for ever. Does anybody have experience with Boeshield or others?

Thanks,

Doug

Milke, About the County Tax. I am in Stanislaus county and have been doing the "display thing" for the past 12 years or so. What it intails is. First you file a form showing your airplane is "Of Significant Historical Value" with the county tax man and pay a one time $35 fee. The...

Anybody using auto gas in California should be aware that our Governor has made it manditory that MTBE be phased out by the end of this year. The replacement oxygenator will be alcohol. I found a news release on the Chevron corporate web site stating that Chevron is implementing the change starting ...
