Buzzkill82, I wanted to let you know that I have a set of skins that came off the door I bought from white industries that you (anyone)can use a pattern. At the present time they are in Bob Coats possession. Ed Booth used them to install the door on Bob's plane. all you need to do is drill out a few...

who is in the pilot seat? Paul does not look like you???? :wink: red/green looks good blue looks better! :lol: :lol: :lol: Judges are going to have a hard time at this years convention!!!! get your wallets out you two- and yes you know who I am talking about-- peoples choice will be tough!!!!!! Ron

Vern, it is a whole lot easier once you get it out this time to remove the back seats bolts (where it folds) and put in pins with hair pins so you can remove the back before trying to take the entire seat out. Folding the seat and trying to get it out without bumping into the rear window--as Ed said...

any machinist supply store. Just take your time reaming it out -pull vale out of the spark oplug hole and steel wool it clean also.
REX supply here in LA.

The baffling for the C172 is not the same as the 170''s. The cowling is wider due to the nose wheel setup. Most of the D engines came from 172's. In the installation of an 0-300-D engine in the 170 the STC states KEEP your baffling. It can be trimmed both sides and the rear has to be trimmed lower a...

Well I'm not the past president that did the selfie but I cut a V trench in the top of my head and that is what they make "NOODLES" for! It is not for the kids to play with it is to protect pilots from hurting themselves!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Go the the kid store and buy one that matches the ...

I a mistaken his STC is putting a "A" crank in a "D" engine and using it to drive the angle drive starter and vacuum pump-not the way you want MY opinion is if you put the "D" or "C" crank (which is the same). You are actually converting an"A" engine...

Heflin, STC SE4728NM by James W. Johnson in Spanaway, WA. is the holder. You can find him via phone. Ron

Heflin, I have a copy of the STC that allows the O-300-D crank in the O-300-A case I can send you. I don't know how to post it here as copy and paste does not work. I don't get here often so send me a email at Ron (N#) at aol dot com. It also uses the angel drive starter and vacuum pump accessory. Y...

Around 80% of US households own a can of the stuff, according to the latest census, Adweek reported. However, originally, WD-40 was use...

OK YANKS, just to let you know after a chilling 31 degree I had to mow grass today! INCOMING!!! The benefit of living in the South.
Jokes aside hope you all get thru it safely!! Ron

years ago I bought one from white industries salvage and got 1/4 of the fuselage. I had to drill the door and supports from the part and kept the skins that you could cleco to your plane and scribe the cutout and then cut inside that and then trim. I think Ed Booth or Bob Coats has them--Ed may step...

Joe, 23 sounds about right for a 43 pitch since a 40 is between 2380 and 2480. you are 3/4 the difference. I don't have all my info here and don't know the difference in a normal 51 vs a 55 in rpm's. I would think you are very well in the ball park. Sorry all my info in on the computer at the office...
