Drill the head off and if possible use an easy out..... just my thoughts!

The tool above is great which I used to do the same PITA job you just described. Also as a jet mechanic, we use a good old pair of reverse safety wire pliers on the Adel clamp. Then put it in reverse to remove the wire. Use the awl to align it all up before hand! hope that helps....

Thank You everyone for your comments..I will scour through the threads and advice and get her figured out…Might as well leave her in for awhile. Taking them out of the wings looks like a real pain in the XXX….I hope if that pneumatic gyro in my back radio bay operates as described above. Ill look for leaks and check the hoses on the pilot side and get back to you all…. Matt….

Hello Community, I fired up the plane after a year of working on her (Pretty Proud fired right up!) and took her out for a run up. I noticed a hard left pull on the aileron. (I kind of remembered that too when I flew her home from Minnesota- previous owner. At the time, I could not figure it out. I did some research to find out that I have what is called a PC wing leveller.....Hehe... question is: 1. is it worth keeping 2. I hope i can get it to work 3. Parts 4. If not, how do i disconnect it so i can fly her correctly while I sort things out. (I don't want to hold the button all the time) I hope you all can help out! Thanks in advance Matt

Id rather think about the positives in people. "The glass half full theory" rather than negatives......Generally speaking, people in this hobby are good people. Just think about all the good advise that we all have contributed on this website for the good of others at the expense of our time....Its all out of the good of people...Just my two cents...

Done....Thx

As many here have pointed out...To fabricate your own hoses is beyond the scope of what is preventative maintenance as outlined in FAR Part 43. You MUST hold an A&P or repair certificate to fabricate hoses. Don't let your insurance company void your policy when you need it most!

A bit confused, so don’t use the paper gasket? Just copper seal and silk thread?

Hi everyone. I looked at the pin out of my GTX335 for a pin out to the GNS430 (NON WAAS). Of course they don't provide it but they do have it for the GTN430W. Don you think that would suffice? it shows 5 wires. Really I only want the altitude msg to go away on the GNS430. I was hoping to use a single wire RS232 input. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. MK GTX335 GNS400W/500W RS232#2 RS232#1 OUT RS232# (GROUND) GROUND TIS-A-SELECT DISCRETE OUT ARINC 429 OUT A ARINC 429 IN 1A ARINC 429 OUT B ARINC 429 IN 1B

Wow, fantastic job...Congratulations....

I will give Paul a try.....Thx

Hello, Anyone have spare inlet screens? I opened the tank the other day to work on sealing the tanks with some noticable staining and fuel loss near the fuel transmitter. I happen to notice that the previous tank seal job got sealant on the screen. Im luck to have notice this as this baby must of been working overtime. Does anyone have a solution to the problem? I tried to clean it...A real pain! IMG_0738.HEIC IMG_0737.HEIC IMG_0735.HEIC IMG_0736.HEIC

Ours is called Orange Crush…..

Me like! great job.... Ill take some as well if your so inclined....

I believe it is DAR not DER. Designated Airworthy Representative isn't it?

Aircraft Spruce sells a vice lock pliers and an awl specifically made for Adel Clamps. I had to replace all those MF's on the firewall last weekend. I had to drop the oil pan and several explicatives. In the airlines we use saftey wire....But i must say those pliers and awl were fantastic! 0CB5F942-70AD-48CD-AE31-0D98EDA6B04E.heic

Let me take a poll? what would you use? 1/2 b sealant or Mortite. It looks as thought the manufacturer used Mortite (strip caulk). I not sure if I should use that or use 1/2 b sealant....I think the B sealant (or fuel tank sealant) would be a bear to remove if I have to replace in the future.... Just my thoughts MK

Im interested.... MK 415-948-7413

Got it. Thank you

Thank you!
