I would think a C172 at 50-100 AGL could go where ever it wanted to

A year ago I got a new one from Air Power for right at 2 AMU

stop it you are making me misty

OH and who is watching the TFR while they are refueling? If you point a cop radar gun at the F-15 will it set off the laser lock alerts?

So ignoring Posse Comitatus. Where do the bullets land when they fire off rounds at a drone? For that matter where does the c172 parts land after getting hit by a sidewinder? It's a 32 mile TFR how long does it take to get across it going supersonic? And who is watching the airspace while the decoy plane is being escorted to land? And did they plane for a Japanese Balloon type attack? Security theater with emphasis on theater

do they all need to be done? Probably just #3 to start with. Buy one new, then rotate around fixing the worst one or two at a time.

Thanks for the help. How often should anti seize be applied? Annual time or oil change?

so can someone correct me? That looks like a slip joint? does a slip joint maybe just need cleaning? Put some mouse milk in there, take it apart, clean the gunk out, put some mouse milk on it and put it back together. Then when it heats up, it should seal up.

The joy of CA. In most states they would stick a flare in there and light it off. Sure that there is no way to get the permits to do that in CA. The other weird thing is having high pressure gas that has odorant in it. Most states don't have the odorizer till after the town station.

There are a fair amount of caps for sale on flea bay

There are 3 o-ring per side. Two of them are 010 and seal the shaft. Then an 338 for the outer ring. The shaft of the lever is steel so some emery cloth can clean that up. I used Jet Lube to keep things smooth They should not be hard to open. They are easy to service. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00138384I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055E1RLM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009CFNL46?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

For a new concept, I am farther away from the yoke and panel and closer to the roof. I wanted something that was out of scan but closer to my face. The verdict is out, but it is still in the plane. Pretty much in the way of the radios, but very viewable by passenger and pilot. It is clamped where the throttle cables are held on the co pilots side. There is a welded cross piece for the tube structure. http://www.dx.com/p/lr360-universal-360-degree-rotating-holder-for-tablet-pc-black-233173#.VrNNCFn__EY

well the Type Data in the link for the B says A1A or A1D....

Is there not a bunch up front by the pedals behind the zippered cloth thingys?

I thought you were going to say it is on the ground missing a prop at Dallas Executive

And it is possible that mine was done with black paint. It just seemed to look factory. Built in late 1974. Based on the SB, I would guess the factory painting started in 1976.

I would be surprised to be able to get a nut on the back side. If the holes are wallered out, Move over a bit and then alum tape the old holes. You could also go to a #6 screw but that may make it harder to hook the rod. Deduct the weight savings from your W&B and enjoy the extra couple knots speed increase. Stainless screws are good for a .005 knot increase.

Realizing of course the 1970s planes roll cage was painted with real epoxy paint and it should not be as big a concern. For 60s planes yes a concern.

I would think: Don't really want fiberglass parts being blown around the radios and cabin. There is positive ventilation provided up there from the starboard side intake vent and clear line. Don't want water logged stuff on top of electronics Don't want insulation blocking the airflow to the radios and such. As far as sealing the access panels. Pulled the gunky foam out of the channels. stainless wire brushed the glue out. Used two part contact cement below to put in I believe 1/2" round caulk backer (Ace Hardware - maybe says for driveways). Plane has not been in the rain to see if it works, but by my shade tree gineering I can't see why not.

I still think there is room for some enterprising person to make a conversion to firestone air bags

Nice work. I repainted the leather accent on the panels and the arm rests with regular Rustolem from wally world just to annoy Big Tex. It has held up very well. The Rustolem on the panels is doing very well also.

My lottery plane is a Pilatus

Are you sure that did not drop from above when the filter came off?

I am kind of with Bonal on this. A $2 AMU pre buy (1 AMU the prebuy and 1AMU on logistics) on a $35K plane is a lot of money compared to $2 AMU on $250 AMU plane. And you now don't have the 2 AMU to spend on fixing it up. Which you will most likely be spending anyways pre buy or not. I missed that it had been in annual for the last 2 years. I am also thinking the engine rebuild it prior to all the bad metallurgy years. Older engine rebuild is not always a bad thing. See if they will give you a copy of the AD compliance list One of your negotiating points is that they are a long way from most buyers
