Thanks mike. Sure would like to see something in writing by FAA. Might have to call the number on the AD

Just have a question that may have been addressed on the spar AD.
If i have a C-90 installed in my airplane, do I have to do a repetitive inspection on the spars because the engine is rated at 95 hp for 5 minutes ?

thanks
Brian

Wanted set of landing gear frames for the Champ

Did you ever sell the gear?
Got a friend looking for a set.

No, eastern Montana. but Helena would have been a lot closer than Ohio.

OOOh, found more info, May be Brian Safran's jig now.
Bummer ( only cause you are too far away.)

A couple years ago, I remember someone had a fuselage jig around Helena MT does anyone know the person's name?
thanks
Brian

(Found a thread elsewhere here. It was Bill Pancake's Jig and the guys first name is Steve)

Yes, thanks. I did see those two. neither fit our present requirements. where are you located.
My mechanic is going to rebuild a champ for a customer, and the fuselage is pretty bad
Brian

Need good clean fuselage.

could have just been a typo, unless somebody got an approveal somewhere back in its history for 3 place, check of the records CD would tell that.

there was a guy at one of the outskirts airports with a Champ for sale a couple months ago. Wander out to one of the Northside ( I think) airports and see if you see it. (may be sold already)

Just got an email from Jodi Bradt at American Champion concerning the 11CC The lower door frame, longeron between gear bolts and upper empennage longeron are all level and can be used. the horizontal stabilizer should be -5.9* when level, so my measurement of -6.2* wasn't far off using the front flo...

PM me your email, and if I remember, Ill dig them out tomorrrow and take a few pics and send you.

I have a couple someone gave me. They are sitting in my salvage heap. I'll take a look at them and see if the inside panels are ok. You can have them for the shipping if they are salvageable.

If thats true, which from what I'm seeing at the wing, it appears to be, it means the 11CC has a high negative incidence in the tail (-6*), or I"m measuring something wrong
