We had a problem with corrosion on the guide pins causing the pads to touch the rotor at an angle. Caused a soft pedal on the left side. Took a while to figure out. I finally saw the problem while applying the brakes with the wheel pants removed. I could see the pad was crooked. I cleaned off the co...

This is a previous discussion about the AT150 that includes a resource we used to repair ours.

Thanks. Russ did the labels. I am pretty sure he used a Brother label maker. He will chime in, to verify, when he sees this.

Russ and some friends got some nice shots the other day. Here are a couple of my favorites. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7151/6525876695_813f8ddb17_m.jpg IMG_3330 by busflyer321 , on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7141/6525876871_30ea3afafc_m.jpg IMG_3372 by busflyer321 , on Flickr

Bruce,

Did you notice that there is more than one picture? First time I looked I didn't see the advance buttons at the bottom of the picture. Couple of nice interior shots.

Russ Farris and I have been cleaning up a 1957 172. Russ just finish repainting. Thought you might enjoy some pictures.

Unfortunately, the crank has already been sent out for inspection. I will let you know what they say about the counterweights. I went back to the hangar today and reexamined the bearing. Here are pictures. The shape of the broken saddle is obvious in on the back of the bearing. c145 001 crop.jpg c14...

Jim, The bearing and journal looked great so we didn't take any pictures. The piece was wedged so that it can't be removed. That probably saved further damage. The crank is dampened and all looked normal. Mike thanks for the case offer but he has already replaced this engine. We are just looking for...

Russ and I found this on a C145 we disassembled today. I thought you might enjoy seeing it. The engine was recently removed from a members airplane. He told Russ that it ran normally except for a vibration at 2000 rpm. There was no other apparent damage. Quite a tough little engine. Forrest c145 008...

It has been a long time, but I'm pretty sure it was all metal. I might have a spare in the hangar. I'll look next time I go out.

Joe,

I am expecting you to use that line the next time we are in the sim together

As 2010 draws to a close, I have been counting my many blessings. One of them as been rejoining this group. Thanks to all of you for your quick and thoughtful responses to all of questions Russ and I have asked. We find the responses and resources of this group to be unmatched. You have even ignored...
