Shadrach Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Just now, N1395W said: Flared nut wrenches ("B" nut): Good to know the correct term. I bought mine used off eBay listed as crowfoot. MSC direct lists them as crowfoot also. Sears calls them "fractional flare nut wrenches".

But I also bring a small tool kit and some oil, zip ties and duct tape. It's an old habit from back when I drove old cars everyday. I also carry a #2 phillips stub screw driver to get the darn screws inside the Ovation air inlets.

Marauder Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I wonder if Alan carries a cutting saw? Just in case he comes up on a deal he can't pass on. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wistarmo Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Voltage regulator, like Mooneymite suggested. You can be grounded a long time if one of those goes. Edited March 4, 2016 by Wistarmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvesg Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 The first thing I put in my box is a spare fuel sump drain valve. About 4 years ago on a preflight I sumped the fuel and it would not stop streaming, regardless of my actions on the valve. Some crud prevented it from closing. I had to dissasemble it to find out what caused this. Yves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst is losing your keys while on a trip with the family. José My plane was frequently flown to the Bahamas quite often, the previous owner had an ingenious idea and put one of the spare set of keys and bolted it to the round inspection panel in the empennage. That way, if you lose your wallet, your bags, etc, all you need is a Philips screwdriver to get home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Dietrich Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Old beach towel to use on ground assortment of screwdrivers including one customized to remove glare shield pliers , wire cutters quality 3/8 socket set incl plug socket spare fasteners oil, plugs, electrical tape telescoping mirror (priceless) FM01-5 fuses (231 instrument and glare shield lights hard to find) small radio shack multimeter (priceless) , tire gauge assorted hose clamps safety wire and tie wraps hand cleaner rags old shirt ( should have been flight suit or coveralls) surgical gloves pieces of small tubing used as insulators on landing light firewall connectors and the ultimate multitool CASH The reason for so much stuff On two unfortunate occasions I had the turbo outlet hose come loose after takeoff ( after visits to non mooney shop) . At my destination I had to remove the cowling to get at the clamps without damaging my dress pants ( the only one I had ) On the ramp at Monterey there were a bunch of people watching from the terminal. I think I set General AV back a decade or two. Also problems with landing light not being reconnected after maintenance and not discovering it until trying to land at very dark airport. (post maint check included flagging the landing light switch and watching the amp meter. Everything but the oil, towel and shirt went in a small red bag (miniature gym bag) that also held barf bags, wipes, aspirin, anti motion sickness pills, peptol bismol , decongestant spray, bandaids, mouthwash spare pens, . The red bag made it very easy to ask a pax to grab iTHE RED BAG Thankfully the barf bag was never used. the wipes were for the relief tube receptacle .
