In 1995 I found a scientific supply place that cut one out of a pyrex tube for me. Lasted until 2022. 50mm outside diameter.

And to update to 2021. They also upgraded the tip color to the newer color they are using, which has a more tan feeling to it. The prop was sanded, a couple of screws were unsoldered and tightened down, a new front layer was added to replace the one that was dented in after 25 years of annual inspec...

WIth the above post, I emailed Monte and he says the decals are on clear stock and they are pre-die cut ready to go. He's mailing a set directly to Sensenich to put on my prop refinish.

The CD has some gaps in the coverage. For instance, the 3-700 area, the drawings after 7-460 until 7-1000- From what I remember: We got the drawings after someone (Todd?) got access to the FAA FSDO in Chicago's files and copied the drawings they had on file. Some files ACA didn't release because the...

This gentleman shows how it is done and the results are simply a work of art. . . don't know about the steel on bronze dissimilar issues at the end, but the results are work a good look.

To update this, I found a place that is still providing them in 2021. One place was REALLY expensive, this one is reasonable and actually cheaper the one in 2010!

I just got mine back from Mike's Air Metering in Tulsa, OK. Fair price and it ran fine out of the box. They do a lot of them since the Stromberg Guy stopped doing it during the COVID.

.016 is the figure that Joe Dickey's newsletter posted and if the smaller puck gets there first, just put the bigger puck in that place (provided its worn down to the smaller puck new thickness) and replace the bigger one. New dimensions: Small fixed puck is .250 and the moveable is .375. Both are 1...

With both windows opened, you will not notice a thing! The air vents help keep your toes cooler, but the windows in my Chief are pretty much open from engine start to shut down in the summer. You don't want the drag of a bigger vent.

Wasn't it about that time that the annual inspection made the plane airworthy with a new certificate? Seems to me that the SEA FSDO told me something to that effect, when my records for the AC started to have issues about the mid-1950s. They issued a new AC to me, based on the dataplate and the reco...

Ash trays are some of the hardest small parts to find since they corrode easily and fall apart after 60 years of ashes collecting moisture in them.

And another NAA member took it! Beautiful Champ!

Mike, check the link to make sure all the permissions are correct and the whole URL is there. I'm getting an error.
Thanks!

Factory applied fabric that already had one coat on it as they applied it. So they only sprayed two coats! And the lightweight cotton was only expected to be on for ten years at the most.

John I had the same experience with a checkbook that slipped out of my backpocket while watching the airshow. Twenty minutes later it ended up at EAA Lost and Found.... that was two decades ago and your comment brought back all those fuzzy warm feelings about Oshkosh and the people. Of course, I was...
