Well done. No one expects these projects to take as long as they do, but I bet the final result is well worth the trauma.

Not sure my post was clear. I have two complete tailwheels. I have zero shimmy problems with a regular 3200 and the cheap tire from Spruce. Nothing works for the baby bushwheel on pavement except being super slow. I have heard that replacing the baby bushwheel with a glider tire helps, but I have no...

I’m surprised that the demo video does not show a baby bushwheel. None of the usual solutions to calm shimmy seem to work unless I put the tailwheel down at a very low speed. It will even shimmy taxiing fast. I have not tried the glider tire which some say is better. I assume this is their target ma...

I found the manual to be a little hard to understand. Or maybe the manual was written for smarter people. It sounds to me like you have it calibrated for whole gallons rather than 0.1 gallons. Somewhere I think you can change that? Overall I like it, especially for leaning. I have a UBG16 as well, b...

Well done, sounds like it’s going to work out, and you know more.

lots on lifting the plane in here. My go to method is a webbing strop a few wraps around the gear leg (mind the brake line) and an engine hoist. It feels the most secure.

I ran a scat hose to the new generator that I installed on my O-300.I just felt better having something hooked up to that cooling fitting on the generator.

No idea if it helped, but it ran fine until I pulled it. Pretty easy to do from almost straight above the generator.

This might work

Maybe HVAC suppliers?

Any damage Jim?

And my friend Brian wanted 300 pounds for his. Guess I should have bought it.

Very cool, I have always wanted a Thing.

I think there are some bubble car enthusiasts on here?

This is amazing:

I watched that one also. I think he did a great job, I hope I would react as well. I assume the engine builder has some digging to do?

That sucks, and should not have happened. I have a ford alternator (at least I think I still do) that you can have, and I may have a regulator. Its really big and heavy. wiring is required to switch to an alternator. An alternator will not charge from a totally flat battery, a generator will. I thin...

Isn’t that an A1A with different mags? Pretty sure Delaire STC covers that.
