May seem like a silly question but the bolt holding tension on the bail so it doesn't move is safetied. The nut on the other side of this bolt goes up against the bottom of the glass bowl. What gong to keep that nut tight?

thanks Ghost... using the SA3-00-B?

installed and drip free now:) i also grabbed a few o-rings to see if i can create a spare 1550 for the next occurrence. also received a couple Drains for the tank as well. got me thinking of replacing the glassbowl with a Steve's. when i read the cross-ref chart they show a 152 and the 180 running t...

Good work. sounds like quite the process, thanks for posting up your methods!! little bites always being sure to never take too much!
i've never done a window install but hope to do my back windows some day. where did you get your window from?

You bet... I think there was a bit of tape on the old QD threads when I removed it but will definitely be using some #3 whenever my new QD arrives! It has finally warmed a little so I won't freeze as fast putting it back together. I had to move the bail out of the way to remove the QD so it made me ...

@gh, what about #3? I've been using this one.

@Ed, so you just stroll along and read this thread and boom, you alleviate my worries!
thank you

It's been very cold up here lately and since we've had this cold weather I noticed a drip on my quickdrain on the gascolator. so i tried to get it to seat properly but in the end i had to remove it (the quickdrain) to inspect it. sure enough, bad gasket. so i borrowed another one (1550) from a local...

MM, you are with family here too.... very sad to hear of your loss. you need time to grieve and for each of us it is so very different. the beauty of the human mind is our ability to remember... take as much time as you need. make sure you don't lose sight of your friends and family, many if not all...

she's going to look a whole lot better pretty soon:)
what did you decide on the Windshield replacement? do any other windows in it? sides or doors?

keep up the good work!!

Welcome Jim, that was quite the adventure in acquiring your new plane!! how did you come to decide on this particular one and a 170 for that matter. i came to the 170's mostly because of what was available to me at the time and really wanted to get into a bigger, useful load, tailwheel configuration...

Great, thanks Pete for posting up that HowTo. i use those same heaters but just wait a couple of hours depending on the temps. i do plan to put on a sump heater to aid in getting the oil warm. i've used these before and find they work great. we finally have some warmer temps, still freezing but at l...

thx Jon... I watched in silence so will listen for the horn when I watch again! Pretty ideal conditions for sandbar flying!!

Great perspective on those videos! What was the airspeed you settled at on approach? What was the air temp?

Great pics Boeing, they look pretty happy to escape in the plane for a while!
what harnesses are you using?
