I’m still left wondering why you need to drill the spring, you shouldn’t have to nor is drilling it out a good idea. Could it be a previous owner did away with the bushing and did drill the spring for a larger bolt and as with my previous post, what about the spring adapter. That’s item 4 in the IPC...

Humm….the diameter of the hole in your present spring adapter ? An older tailwheel assy I guess, $20 you’re getting away light.

Snap - on 1/4” drive wobble sockets are your friends.

Looking at Foreflight aerial view looks like there’s a golf course nearby and a few farmers fields so there’s more the FAA has to sort out.

I’ve never landed at this airport, wanted to but flew past it to our Vermont convention. Many of the hills in that area were heavily wooded, so that might have been a factor and from the accident photo, just tragic luck the little gully the airplane found would have led to rapid deceleration. Very s...

I’d like to also thank Dan Wood for often coming by, checking in on everyone and ensuring everyone was have a solid Oshkosh experience. It takes alot of effort to get to Oshkosh but it always seems worth the effort.

Quite crazy in all the craziness of arrivals that we wound up being side to side George. Enjoyed myself greatly, It was a great convention year and a great Oshkosh week.

Knew Howard was talented, but thought, gee can Howard really fly everything? Good one Bruce.

Maybe I should walk back what I thought I had and maybe listen to myself :D So thought I’d post a pic, initially the groove could be felt by a fingernail but after giving it a scrub with scotchbright (green) it looks better. o. IMG_2944.jpeg A close up does show a few pits on the inside side of the ...

Crocus cloth, to remove the surface rust, then you will be able to see what you have in terms of real pitting. Doesn’t look real good from the pics, clean it up and maybe you can post. I have a 8 bolt crank for an 0-300 and although it looks good, (no corrosion, dials good) I fear it will fail due t...

Yikes ! not an airline pilot trying to fix a plane :P :D :D . I spent several hours helping an airline pilot hunt down a short causing a circuit breaker to pop only to find he had replaced a single contact bayonet bulb with a double contact bulb. Stupid, I know I should have found the short in a few...

Welcome aboard Ronnie, nice first post..don’t have a recommendation but like you I’d like to know the same

Left Thursday morning and wasn’t able to say goodbye to everyone. Weather was a factor going East so I went West and but just the same, ran into weather just short of the Rockies but likely I’ll get home late today. Just want to express my thanks to everyone. Thanks EAA, Great show and a great gathe...

I’ve got two at home I can measure off my plane. Likely original, ( one has a old data plate on it) , I’ll measure , if it fits its yours.
