Re: 1954 Interior trim paint

Here is a link for early Nash Paints that references Trooper Tan, you can buy samples, same as the Cessna Trooper Tan, not sure, out to the hangar to see if there is a shred of the original paint, time to get rid of the Rustoleum brilliant blue some one used on my interior https://www.nashparts.com/...

1954 Interior trim paint

I know this has been discussed a lot, the 1954 170B interior trim I think is trooper tan, has anyone ever come up with a close color equivalent in a rattle can? Like Duplicolor or other brands, there has to be some thing close to trooper tan out there.

Thanks

Re: Rough Mag Drop (Bendix SF6LN-12)

I had the same issue, turned out to be a bad spark plug that only had ten hours on it. I had another issue where lower plugs would foul with lead nuggets after a long taxi, lean that engine when taxiing and don't forget to push the mixture in before take off. I found that using MO gas or TCP helps a...
