Just came across this Youtube video showing how to get a Lionel horn to work. The 170 stall warning horn is exactly the same though slightly smaller. I haven't found a Lionel horn that would fit in a stall warning inclosure.

Firstly, I believe Bruce simply made a typographical error when he posted “too small to fit” in the bakelite case….. The two horns (of course) DO FIT inside the case. What I said, but not very clearly, was the same style horn is used in Lionel diesel train engines. But the Lionel horns are too big ...

Guys, skifast13 is talking about the cap found in the bakelite warning horn/lite. See Georges photo.
Only Gary will be able to find a schematic for inside the warning horn.

IMAG0674.jpg Above is a photo GAHORN posted of two horns, one I think original and the other who knows. These horns, not small enough to fit the bakelite housing, were also used in Lionel diesel train engines. (Said clearer I hope, the same style horn is used in Lionel diesel train engines, but the...

I've spent some quality web searching time looking for the answer to the question, what and I missing here. What is missing in general is besides the CARs and FARs, the specific aircraft and model AFM, POH or TCDS may specify a placard at the fuel filler opening. Apparently Mooneys are a good exampl...

Interesting catch Gary. Here are CAR 4, 3, FAR 23 and 25 wording regarding fuel placards. Note no quantity is required for aircraft certified under FAR 23 and 25. Car 4.png Car 3.png FAR 23 Sec. 23.1557 — Miscellaneous markings and placards. (c) Fuel, oil, and coolant filler openings. The following ...

I recalled this discussion when I recently read the following clip from CIES FAQs page . Obviously not an unbiased opinion. IMG_0620.jpeg Hmmm. Glad I don't want to put CIES probes and gauges in my Vagabond case I don't think they know what they are talking about. CAR 3 3.672 calls for the fuel gau...

As Dan has said, that green canvas is original. Nice pictures of it would be nice fo the archives.

I watched the video and spoke by email to acecabral. The tailwheel locks and releases to one side, but free swivels to the other. I suggested looking at how the wing-shaped spring (18) fits into the notches in the control arm (8). Any other suggestions or insight? IMG_2080.jpeg If this is the case ...

Nice video, look like a neat place to fly to.

Sorry I didn't catch on in October Doug, nore did I remember you posted about it. I surely wouldn't have taken the time to duplicate your effort. Thanks for trying.

The kingpin itself is part of the main bracket assy and not a separate item. It is not impossible to find a king pin that will slide out of the bracket. I had one in my early 3200 experience and flew it thinking nothing of it until I realized it was not suppose to be a loose fit. At that point the ...

Snap - on 1/4” drive wobble sockets are your friends. :D Gearwrench 1/4" drive flex sockets are more friendly at more than half the price. :D :D :D However I removed the forward two bolts before I owned wobble or flex sockets so I used a plain old Craftsman knuckle, wobble or flex adapter and ...
