    the 20- and 21- serial numbers are newer year models. Older planes are just numbers. While learning to sew, I have been thinking about how easy it would be to replicated Turn Left Turn right signals to the Accutrac II from the Android tablet using an Arunduo autopilot board or a Raspberry PI board. http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/running-an-autopilot-on-android

    Tasty burgers. Went there a couple of weeks ago

    So thinking of things on the long flight to California. What about a universal mounting block or UMB for short. Flat block of alum that clamps to the center post with thumb screws and has two 1/4-20 tapped holes on the front side to mount visors, GPS, Cup holders, Etc. You are responsible for your own compass swing.

    I want to know what the V speed is for blowing out a fire. Kind of like what they did in Memphis Bell
  5. Yetti
    OK just imagining this playing out. You have a fire and the first thing you are going to do is reach for your Ipad and wait for the check lists to load? My checklist would be this mnemonic SSD Shut S**T Down. Starting with fuel, then the master We will sort the rest out from there....

    Brittain will send you a drawing to complete the switch on the panel defeat the system

    So like the add a shoulder belt. I would do like Don suggested and machine a clamp that goes around the tube in the upper outside corner and then drill a hole in the headliner plastic. Mimicking the welded tab from the factory. As I recall the factory tab has an offset aft of the bar. Not hard to make, just need to measure.

    Do you have the place to screw them into the tubular frame? The easy part would be the stainless rod 2 adel clamps and a sheet of tinted plexiglass. They attach to a round bolt with a set screw that screws into the mount in a frame. It would be a quick lathe project.

    I would think it could blow out the drive bearings. The later ones look like they use a couple of ball bearings captured as a drive nut.

    Mine is in the right radio stack above the Loran C. You might have room at the center of the radio access panel The valve assy. mounts to the inside firewall at the top inline with pilot yoke shaft. Assuming you have radio access panels.

    center line belly panel under the baggage storage area. A bit to rear of the flaps. There should be two limit switches on top of the actuator arm
  12. Yetti
    Cup holders. It's the first thing you look for when you get in the plane. Also more storage. A bit more practice and more storage added to the panel below the rear seat.

    The person who tries to smash my knee caps will then lose more space for the rest of the flight. It is amazing how much forward play there is in the seats. Luckily I had a row to myself on this flight. I have sent emails with pictures to United and they say the Scarebus seat pitch is the same as a boeing. My legs disagree.

    so learning to sew with some covers for our outdoor furniture. I would not make it in Indonesia for speed, but they turned out pretty good. Time to take apart some of that quality work from those people in Kerrville from back when I was in Elementary school The foam is pretty good and these are some of the more comfortable seats I have sat in even at my advanced height

    I hate Scarebusses No one really can sit behind me in cars or the Mooney

    I like the way you think. On a milling machine? A router with a edge guide would work too. Seems like you would want to countersink the skin and the plexiglas too get them flush.

    I would think the whole regulatory system is to keep unairworthy airplanes on the ground. I am still a bit miffed of the things I would consider unairworthy in my non A&P status were signed off on an annual when clearly they are on the annual list of things to be checked. You could always be in the market for the plane, go give a once over, note the damage to the sales person based on your cursory look over.

    Hmm use the old ones to create a form. A 0.187 thick 24x36 grey piece from Professional Plastic is $44.00 Not over heating is the key http://www.professionalplastics.com/PLEXIGLASS-ACRYLICSHEET-EXTRUDED

    So do the side windows have the preformed bend to match the curve of the plane or do you have to bolt them in and make a flat piece curve?

    So Mrs. Yetti and I were at an Estate sale and over in the corner was a White Rotary 77 sewing machine 30% off for $70.00. I was going to resell it, but started reading up on them and they will do leather and canvas without a problem. Oiled it up and put the heavy duty thread that I had for the to be purchased walking foot and it is running fine. First project was some outdoor cushion covers. There was one hide left over from 2 hide interior project. I almost pulled the rear seat out yesterday to start on it, but trying to pace myself. This was a test piece of leather.

    So is this hoist to relieve weight and replace one at a time while issuing the proper amounts of grunts and trips to the tool box to get more leverage or pull them all at once just go for it? I have 4 new ones but did not have time to do during annual.

    Large oil can with brake fluid at the wheel. Pump oil can vigorously while someone removes fluid from the reservoir will get most of the air out

    Should be able to lock up and flat spot the tires. If the pedals go all the way to the floor, then you probably still have some air in the line. If the pedals are tight but plane won't stop then there may be glaze on the discs.

    Found some left over C parts and are making a new one
  25. Yetti
    Avery labels.... Laser printer... I still have not found the part number inking machine that Mooney uses to put part numbers on stuff. But it is fun to look through McMaster Carr. That is a sealed relay. You would have to bend the metal crimp to get inside it. Betting you could find the same thing with a Bosch part number
