Thx for the info. Already have all the hardware so I’ll pass but good to know another source.
I’ll most likely upsize center holes.

Installing a new Great Lakes Aero windshield. Still going back to “old school” by utilizing original center strip. Both pieces of center strip (in and out) have 1/4” hole size. The 4 screws that go thru the windshield are 3/16”. The holes in the last windshield were 3/16”. Two of the four holes were...

I too noted that the AD 2022-04-04 omitted the -A engine. Although the Stratus SB included it by using the verbiage “0-300 series”. The big problem with the omission is that when you do an AD report at annual inspection and type in 0-300A, it leaves the AD out of the report. A junior, un-knowing IA ...

The right tank (distorted one due to over pressure testing) had the fwd strap snug but the rear one was loose. All wooden blocks appear original with cork glued onto them. The left tank straps were snugged down securely but tank rubbing as well on spar angle. Yes, fuel leaks are never a good feeling...

Well both wooden blocks were in place and doing there job. I can see contact points on both blocks where the tank was making contact. All blocks removed with minimal corrosion. Making new blocks from marine plywood as we speak. My current dilemma is that both tanks were hitting hard on the fwd inboa...

Yes I saw that excellent powerpoint presentation and thanks for putting that together. This project first started as just to remove the covers and replace the co...

I have been using Scout for about 2 years. Seems to not work more times than it does work. I’m 30nm east of SAT so it should be picking up enough towers. It drops the signal, won’t load radar picture, etc etc. Finally just bought the ForeFlite Sentry Mini from Sportys. At 300’ after take off it had ...

Has anyone ever needed to remove the fuel feed fitting in the fuel tank in order to remove the tank from the wing bay?
I have read thru numerous posts and don’t see that listed as a “have to”.
Having a tough time with clearance and the fitting ain’t coming out even after soaking overnite.

Furthermore, if anyone would like the MS Word file I am more than happy to send it to you. Afraid I’m not savvy enough to attach it here. Just send me a PM.
Thx

Thanks for everyones input for information on the 170 fuel selector valve placard. My wife created a good copy of the original in MS Word. Although not exact as original I believe it works well. The placard was printed using Avery #60501 UltraDuty GHS chemical labels. This has a slight matte finish ...

This Slick service bulletin was released on Feb 6, 2019. I just discovered this bulletin buried deep within a Cessna multi-engine service bulletin. This impacts several 4 & 6 cylinder Slick mags manufactured from Jan 2016-May 2018. Unfortunately my mags are effected. Google the SB number for mor...

Just got my new brushes from Fresno Airparts. Original Delco part with the number 838 on them. Mailed via priority US mail and only took 2 days to Texas. My starter has about 350 hrs since last overhaul and it appears the brushes are more than half-way worn. Figured it was time.

Thanks for the replies. Most shops in the area no longer have the adapter. Too old of box and not enough money in it. I’ll keep looking though.

Does anyone have a Jeppesen G1 Skybound database card loading adapter? Years ago you just called them up and they sent you a new card and you sent your old one back. Now it takes this adapter and you download the current data from Jepp. I cannot find the G1 Skybound anywhere and am trying to do the ...
