Some easy to check items are USB charging units plugged into cigar lighters, cheap versions of these sometimes cause interference. The other thing are certain LED lights.

Resurrecting an old thread... for those of you that have done the B&C conversion, did you have to get a different battery? I have a relatively new RG-25 and the B&C can barely turn over. The battery is fully charged. Have yet to measure the amperage during cranking - I suppose there could b...

If one comes upon an airplane with it’s prop removed by an unauthorized person, it is unairworthy.

I think in this case it would be unairworthy no matter who removed it.

Currently installed:

That totals .895 which quite a bit less then the .951 that Bruce was looking for. Seems like it would be a lot easier to install.

Thanks. These are tubes that came with the cylinders from Continental like the ones used on their bigger engines, I don't know it they are the same as the Real Gaskets but they work the same way. I will replace the seals and I do have the compression tool.

I'm thinking going with a new set of Superior cylinders, my problem is that my current cylinders are the Continental "New" style with the Real Gasket type pushrod tubes. Does anyone know if the tubes can be re-used with the Superiors cylinder?

The 40-97A wheels are the ones STCed for the 170, the 40-75D are for Cessna 180 - 210 aircraft. The Parker catalog mentions that the 40-75D "may not work with wheel pants due to the wider offset of brake disc". https://www.parker.com/literature/Aircraft%20Wheel%20&%20Brake%20Division/A...

It should be doable if you don't have any takeoff obstructions in the way. Notice ground run is 40% of number shown.

These seat stops are the way to go. Heavy duty, red so i cant loose them, no tools req. http://www.aerotwin.com/products/cessna_seat_stop.html Those spindley little stops are ok and cheaper if your into that kind of thing... edit: Here is the Cessna PN that you are looking for 0713074-1 $25.26 list...

Thanks Brian, I had seen those videos a few years ago and forgot all about them. Interesting he recommends replacing the tailwheel to tail spring bolt every annual. One of these days I will order the overhaul kit and rebuild my extra tail wheel assembly.

The problem with polishing is you are slowing removing the surface alclad layer of pure aluminum from your aluminum surfaces which is there to prevent corrosion of the aluminum alloy core material. As nice as it looks I think painting or using George's technique is the way to go. I went to the Nuvi...
