I'm also in the process of overhauling my engine and was planning on reusing the through bolts until I saw this thread. I haven't seen anywhere in the overhaul manual that says these must be replaced. My A&P couldn't find it either. Where is this published?

It took me a while to figure out that I can't attach images, so here is a link to the PNG version on my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v4mFH1GxHIx4LwKjY3eieCanmiUebcrO/view?usp=sharing Hope it gives you some ideas. I like the idea of doing all LED panel lights. I'd love to see how yo...

Man, I'm hearing echos from 2 years ago when I did the same thing to my plane. I removed the panel, cleaned up all the junk wiring and abandoned crap, traced back everything to its place and relanded it all on its proper breaker, removed the ADF, cut a new panel and generally overhauled the whole da...

After a bit of that, I decided to kick in some left rudder and let it fall i...

I have a cad file of the panel. It's not my creation but a member of BackcountryPilot gave it to me. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I passed it along.

Wow you guys are a bunch of old fuddy duddies. Can't we all just get along? R/C was part of a natural progression in my passion for flying. The flying bug bit me hard when I was a little kid. I started folding paper, then my mom bought a kit trainer and old radio from a garage sale. It was all I cou...

Per Chap 14, (Propeller) 100 series Service Manual: Torque SIX bolts to 55-65 ft lbs. Torque EIGHT bolts to 250 IN lbs. (21 ft lbs) This could be on a Lycoming. Continentals, C-145 and 0-300 at least don't use nylon lock nuts on the back of the prop flange. And if so I'd be checking other sources f...

You might call up Stoots Aviation in Fairbanks. He has been doing tailwheel conversions on 172/175s using new 180 gearbox, 180 gear legs, and P-ponk kits. He must have a source for the parts, perhaps you can convince him to share.
