Paintless dent repair will pull it out. You can buy a kit several online places

I have been researching the wing between the 1970s model F, the J and the K for the DYNON Autopilot. From what I can tell the wing is the same between the 3 models up to the part numbers for the wing skins. The one thing that was going on during the late 70s is the electric gear actuator was changing models. For the 75 F the gear extend speed is 120mph. I did just read that the flap extend speed is 125mph and the white arc is 125 mph.

concrete blocks weigh how much? Your plane can lift how much? Also a useful question when selecting tie ropes or straps.

In gusty cross winds the I have found that one wheel landings (upwind) work pretty well. My theory is that you are pointing the upwind wing directly at the wind and the wind can't pick it up in a gust. You still have to do the slip a little to make it go straight down the runway. The fuselage cross section is such that it does not pick up much crosswind. Don't try one wheel landings on icy runways you really need the friction of the tire to hold it till you get the other tire planted. -
Yes. Most of your oil temp, fuel tank sensors are resistance type gauges. If you take the wire off the sensor and direct to ground, it will peg the gauge. EGT/CHT thermocouple type sensors don't work in the same way.

The best way to see leaks is look at the engine for the big drops. I found that the fitting on the drainback tube at the Cylinder Head was leaking. The nut on the fitting was tight. but the ferrel that is around the aluminum tube was loose just a little with the oil drip showing. So I loosened it and moved the ferrel around and then got the fitting tractor tight. Also the clamps on the hoses on the drain back tubes need to be tightened regularly.

This is true. What I would suggest here is because the ground is not good for the radio, the radio is seeking ground through the p leads inducing the noise in the radio. Fun Fact you can run a RPM gauge using the P leads. Dynon use the P leads to pick up RPM.

Most likely you have a ground not attached firmly. Start with the battery and then check the grounding strap that should be on the passenger side from engine to the firewall. What your comms/EMS is grounded to is the most suspect.

Is your oil cooler in the front or back? What I have noticed is that New Oil stays in the crankcase longer than older oil. I use W100 cause I live in the south.

don't disparage my grandfather. "Right tool for the job" In other news google searches for Stilson Wrench are up by 40

Stilson wrench. Last fitting I had to get out was I used a dremel to cut a slot for a big screw driver to get them out. Someone ran the air tank drains on the LMTV into a tree. The final way is a diamond bit on a dremel tool and take it out a little at a time after you snap it off with the Stilson Wrench.

LOL nailed it. Don't want to be able to read them in a couple years
