Eric,

Did the 27 lb. increase in empty weight gain between the year 1960 and 2003 all come from the main gear swap or from some other some of it from other additions?

Mike,
Could you post pictures or part numbers of the area you are discussing
Thanks

I did a little better than Buc as I got my complete set delivered to Chicago area from McFarlane for $1052.93 (invoice date 12/01/2003). I have been told by the sales lady at Bueco that Bueco sells McFarlane products at a discount. Johneb They cables fit rite and so far, about 15 hours, have held to...

Jim, Here picture from 43-13 page 7-35, so we can all see what to look for. I bought new McFarlane cables from McFarlane (http://www.mcfarlaneaviation.com) and later found that Beuco (800-325-6163) sells McFarlane cables at a discount.

Jim,

I got the belt from off the rack at the local mens store and my wife gave me the suspenders for Christmas.

The WEB site for the fancy seat stop is http://WWW.Aerostop.com

Joe, Hows this for a theory? Now that you have improved the ignition system on your engine perhaps the timing of the spark event is at the proper time and most of the combustion cycle is occuring while the Exhaust valve is closed as opposed to occuring slightly late and therefore lasting into the pe...

Here is a picture of the seat rail stops on an airplane that belongs to a man who wears both a Belt and Suspenders. I like the ease of use of the Aerostop, its hard to blow off using it because of inconvience. You notice I only bought one. Johneb http://www.msnusers.com/_Secure/0ZwAsHCYbyT6r7Jm7ABMm...

Eric, I risk a guess that during cross wind landings a little toe in would be good. With the airplane landing wing low into the wind and the tendency of to weather vane into the wind, tow in on the upwind gear would tend to turn the airframe downwind. If this does not make any sense its because I am...

Eric
That scarier than mine by about a million, mine happened in the comfort of my hangar. How did you get to the ground?

Eric you must have a buddy with a digital camera who could help you scare a little caution into the rest of us.

I found this artifact in that stuff I keep around to remind me to be carefull.
Johneb

Brian,
I had the exact same thing happen while working on only one cylinder. Its a pitty the engine assembler couldn't take the time to replace the lifter retainer snap rings in the cam follower bodies. If they had you and I would not have had that engine out of airframe experience.

George,
How much horse power is your Ford-9N putting out at 75% on a sea level standard day?
Johneb

Monte, you are not going to defile a great airplane and turn it into a work horse by putting a tow hook on it are you???? :lol: You might look at the Web site I have included below. This group tows with an L19 and must have answered your question regarding a tow hook. http://www.skysoaring.com/ 180 ...

George, There is nothing wrong with looking like we are in our 50's especially for me, in 3 months I will no longer be in my 50's.
Johneb

John, very nice. Our airplanes may be from the 1950s but they don't have to look that old.
