    So it appears some 67 F's were outside corner mounted and others were center post mounted.

    Here's a pic of mine

    The LASAR visors were very good. I have a set in my plane. After LASAR quit stocking them, I began producing visors very much like theirs. I do not have an STC, but can make you a set as "owner produced" parts if you specify how you want them made, or as a minor modification. I am not certain about the F models, but if the mounting holes are at the upper outside of the windscreen, mine will fit. Don

    In my opinion, (without much actual knowledge), older trickle chargers were not good for batteries, but the modern "smart" chargers should work fine.

    Sorry Don, I missed that one.

    Thanks for the nice words guys. JohnB, yes, my visors fit all the models with the mounting point on the upper outside of the windscreen, and I am virtually certain the M qualifies. They articulae to virtually any position. PM me if you want a set.

    Any word yet, Don, on the cause of your original problem?
  8. DonMuncy
    Has anyone noticed if the prices have dropped back to somewhat reasonable?

    I keep forgetting how lucky you guys are. My home drome did away with their self service operation, and if I want fuel at home, I have to call the truck.

    And deny one's self the fun of twisting safety wire?

    Putting aside the rules relating to your hangar, it is quite easy to fly a tank empty, then go back to the hangar and have the other tank filled. Then you can drain, syphon or pump from the full tank and pour into the empty one, one or two gallons at a time to calibrate a stick. I would recommend grounding well to prevent a static spark. This is not without risk, but I think it is not much more than having the truck fill a tank.

    I made my dip from oak. If absorbs fuel plenty well to be able to read the level. I ran one tank out of fuel in flight, returned home and refilled the tank, 2 gallons at a time. I suppose one could take the position that each tank is dfferent and for better accuracy, you could have a stick for each side, but I am not that worried. I would be glad to share the measurements, and could be induced to make a duplicate , but that would assume all 231's have the same tank size, shape etc.

    Don't you just love it when someone uses facts and calculations rather than just gut feelings.

    I assume you are referencing the RBD midair at the air show. I was there earlier, but left before the accident. But yes, I expect ramifications. Simulated dogfights etc. are seemingly hazardous. I don't know what these two were doing at the time. I also assume this was the CAF's Fifi plane. What a terrible loss of the plane and almost certainly the lives of all on board.

    Sulfuric acid will almost certainly take them up. Other acid products probably will also.
  16. DonMuncy
    Straight down in relation to the plane, or straight down toward the earth?

    Parker is knowledgeable and will steer you right. He will probably tell you to contact Avemco as well. He has access to all the insurors except Avemo, who doesn't go through brokers.

    You should install one of my timers. Never happen again.
  19. DonMuncy
    Thanks, but I don't have tabs.
  20. DonMuncy
    Wow. Fast and appears like I might be able to do it. I will give it a try and get back to you if I have a problem. Incidentally, the installer did not give me the installation manual. I'm going to have to change the way I do things. Thanks
  21. DonMuncy
    I have a JPI 700, that somewhere in the installation was programmed to indicate that full fuel is 50 gallons rather than my 73. I know that this is a setting that can be changed. Does anyone know whether this is something that I could do, or am I going to have to take it to an avionics shop to have that done
  22. DonMuncy
    You would be surprised how easy it is for me.
  23. DonMuncy
    I agree you want the best jacks available, but even more, you want a "collar-clamp" on the ram to be able to fix it in place so it doesn't creep down.
  24. DonMuncy
    How do they work? The website is not informative.
  25. DonMuncy
    Gear-ups typically cause very little damage to the airframe. If properly repaired (ie. done by a reputable repair shop), there should be zero difference. Naturally, if one has a choice, they would take one with no damage history, but I would not hesitate to buy one with a gear-up.
