  1. Yep there is seated and then there is the properly aligned with possibly a little jiggle to seat the cap properly. You might try getting them flush and seated properly. The o-ring does not squish down that much.
  2. I guess we don't want to talk about plastic brake lines on the air systems of trucks, do we? Google DOT air brake lines.
  3. I guess we don't want to talk about static system tubing then.
  4. I am going to go with where it is measured. Safety National Program Understanding Lightning: Making Connection With the Ground Weather.gov > Safety > Understanding Lightning: Making Connection With the Ground During the development of the stepped leader, the positive charge on the ground increases. As the branches of the stepped leader approach the ground, the electrical forces between the leader tips and the tops of tall objects on the ground also continues to increase. Eventually, these forces cause the air above the taller objects to become more conductive, to ionize. As it does, negative charge starts moving from the air to the taller objects and into the ground. The result of the negative charge moving toward the ground, is that the channel of air directly above the taller objects becomes positively charged. This is usually referred to as an upward streamer. Eventually, the negatively-charged, downward-moving stepped leader makes contact with one of the upward developing positive streamers. When this contact is made, the lightning channel is complete and charges can flow rapidly from the cloud toward the ground. It takes only a fraction of a second to go from the stepped leader initiation to the final connection.
  5. Which reminds me of the time I turned in my program on microfiche. The TA got all pissy and I just said you did not specify the output format.
  6. The way the phases pull it down the line. Ha ha you messed up the question and did not state AC or DC.
  7. Go to the B&C website. Count the teeth on your fly wheel. I have had one for 4 years. Not an issue. Apparently they use bearings where Skytech uses a bushing. The B&C starter has a 2000 TBO. It was such a pain to change it out I did not want to do it again. Great warranty is not worth having to change it out.
  8. B&C makes a Mooney starter, Just saying
  9. Well to be sure you passed the test. And you answered the question about the circular runway.
  10. It might be possible to reuse. I was able to reuse mine. You can unwrap with hand. Then rewrap with hand.
  11. My F will go 1100 miles at the low power setting. No I don't want to sit for that long. There is a piece of rubber hose behind the side panels to each tank. A brass T , a valve and some clamps would make for an easy hook up.
  12. Last flight I could kind of tell. This flight I went over to fuel the plane which is a couple minute engine run. Filled the tank. Then would not restart. Had I looked up the date, I would have got one before it died.
  13. Lead Acid Batteries don't have thermal runaways. If a LiPo battery thermal runaways in the tail cone, I don't believe the plane will survive. YMMV
  14. Concorde RG-35AXC Platinum Series Last time I ordered one it was $309 from Sprice December 2017 This Time $495 I guess 6 years aint bad. IT will be here Thursday.
  15. point the nose down a little.
  16. Ya so about that 3 LED white panel from Wheelen that is the same LED panel they use in police and fire Light bars. The light bar I saw it on was a Freedom. https://lightbarparts.com/products/whelen-freedom-lightbar-pair-of-white-lr11-takedown-and-alley-light-assemblies?variant=39842630762631&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic
  17. One of my thoughts about a one wheel landing is that it puts the upwind wing more level to the ground. This keeps the gusts from picking the wing up as easy and makes for a smoother landing.
  18. On a gusty cross wind day ploping it on is nice to feel. Could have been better, but plane is reusable
  19. I big gusty crosswinds I sometimes do a one wheel (upwind wheel) landing which allows you to be straight on the runway and avoid the funky transition from main to nosewheel touch down.
  20. you can check to see what insulation is in there and if the SB has been done. The SB was to coat the tubes with epoxy paint. It would not be the full inspection but gives you an idea. I would probably do this on the first look and to see if it is walk or make an offer. Also pull the two panels on the rear most inside section of the wing along with the rear seat and main spar. You should also see if there has been fuel leaking out the side of the tank and or inside sender.
  21. If you buy your borescope you can use it to inspect the tubes without pulling seats. One of the problems with going to a far shop is the plane gets put in the "unknown" status. You don't know what they touched and you don't know what has been put back together wrong. Any AP has access to the AD list since it is an FAA thing. You can even download it from the FAA. My IA does an AD list for the annual.
  22. Looks like a Posse Commits violation. Unless the Air Force is moving faster these days. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-new-guard-locations-f-35-f-15ex/
  23. Just replace the inner core with proper sized Bowden Cable. Or piano wire.
  24. y'alls google fu is weak. https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/copies_aircraft_records
  25. I doubt anyone could. There were three AD on the gear in rapid succession. So the write is usually "replaced oil gears" Unless it says which one and what materials then you just have to guess.
