Re: Parts Officially Obsoleted ?
I don't believe that TCM any longer supports the O-300 engine with any exclusive parts.

Re: Good Repair Shop
A friend of mine has had good results on re-skinning and repair on control surfaces from a young fellow down in Alabama who regularly advertises in the Cessna section of TAP..

Re: Repairing a leaking oil pan
Use cauyion when buying an oil sump. They are not all interchangeable. You need and should have a specific part number for the particular part type to fit your engine.

Re: 27% 170B build
Arash,
Have you ever seen the video of the eight turbine engined RC B-52 ? I think it was built in the UK. With eight of those model turbine engines, it must have cost more than a lot of real airplanes It looked to me to be big enough for a real pilot to fly it.

Re: Yoke vs Stick
When I was working for World Airways, back in about '65, there was a school at the Oakland airport that had a couple of those Laancers. Some of us went down to look at them one noontime. We all wondered if they were really serious about multi engine training in them.

Re: Yoke vs Stick
I would suppose it would feel more natural with a centerline seat and a wheel if there was no engine out in front. Having worked for Lockheed before the wat, I had always wanted to fly the P-38. But alas, after graduating from single engine school at Luke Field, they sent me to Marher Field for mult...

Re: Engine roughness
I met a guy that bought a P&W R-4360 engine from a junk yard, They said it was too difficult to disassemble to separate the various metals to be economically salvaged, The engine was on a big build up stand made of steel and he paid more for the stand than for the engine. The engine looked to me...

Re: Yoke vs Stick
With me, a stickalways felt more normal on a airplane where the pilot sat on the center line of the airplane, but a yoke seems more normal where the pilot is off center. One of the wierdest feeling airplanes I ever flew was one of those Aeronca champs that had a wheel instead of a stick. To me, an o...

Re: Photo Album
It must be the perspective from the angle that the photo of that landing gear was taken, but they look to me to be so symetrical at the lower end that I would have suspected that they were a pair of early, interchangeable, C-170 legs made priot to the "Lady Legs" type.

Re: Custom center stack panel
The "U" yoke that I used came out of an early C-172. All the dimentions measured the same except the length of the main shaft between the pivot bolt hole and the elevator control hole on the very bottom, I had to cut and shorten it about one inch or so.

Re: Servicing Bendix IGN Switch Type GM
Dump the buggered up Bendix switch and install a couple of toggle switches. The locking switch just keeps the honest guys out anyway. If someone wants to steal your airplane all they have to do is clip the "P" leads.

Re: Moisture in the oil
If you're parked in a hangar with electric power, a low wattage crancase heater, with the filler cap off, will dry the moisture out of the oil between flights

Re: SAFETY - Feb NASA Callback Report
Jughead,
Thanks for that report. It was one of the best I've ever read. A much better method than what I remember.
