From what I hear, the value (price) of a good paint job (including stripping) is probably more than half the cost of an engine overhaul, unless you were replacing a lot of sub-spec or failed engine parts. I've heard 7-8 grand as a ballpark number. At least one member here has had a paint job done re...

Hang onto your hats-- I'm with George on this one! (I think). The blast tubes are blowing on the oil screen housing of the accessory case. They are cooling the oil there. All the oil goes thru there, so all the oil is getting cooled, however slightly. Just because that's where the temp bulb is doesn...

Glad you're doing well, Rudy, I hope you're re-medicalized soon. I also read the item in the EAA e-newslatter about verifying registration info. I have to assume that there will be a mailing from the feds about this, if action is required on my part. They don't mind mailing me notices about AD's on ...

Looks like they took a 180/185 nose as well as a 185 tail and stuck them on a Birddog. Looks like a constant-speed prop including a 180-style spinner, as well as cowl flaps. Interesting that this airplane is circa 1956, the 185 with it's big tail didn't come out until 1961 or so. There mighta been s...

The L19/O1/C-305 had a Cont O-470-11 or -13 engine. Maybe the -11 was mistaken for a roman numeral 2. Never seen a Birddog with 180/185 tailfeathers. I did see an article about one they hung a turboprop on, though, as well as a boundary-layer-control research Birddog that had leading/trailing edge t...

I have one that covers the hole in front of the crankcase. I dont know if its factory or aftermarket. Speaking of cool weather, at what OAT should a C145/O300 be preheated? Im using multigrade. I run XC20-50. I've been preheating lately, as it's been getting down below freezing at night and not get...
