That’s one of the reasons I went experimental so I can do all the work myself. Overhauls are not quite so bad that way

Sensenich 76AK-2-**, McCauley 1A90/CM 74-**, 1A90/CF 75-** all north of $5-6K for Standard Category aircraft. Even a normal C-85/C-90/O-200 overhaul...

Mine had 9.5 pistons so quite the bump. I’m assuming you’re referring to the 75” Mac prop. Can’t comment on it but the little short Continental...

Unfortunately the STC'd C-85 Stroker upgrade depends upon parts: https://www.aircraftspecialties.aero/stc-kits/ Try to find them today, especially...

0200 c85 pistons phase3 cam (about the same as a c90 788 cam) turns my catto 78-37 just fine. I put the prop on a stock 0-200 and it wouldn’t work....

I think FAR-21.19 Owner Built parts needs to be studied thoroughly, for our aircraft. Funny how many things a person can build for themselves and the...

The Aluminum holds up well to rock dings and nicks...when they get nasty, they're easy to re-paint. But whose kidding who, with 35"'s on...drag...

Still have the partial Spraker fuselage, it's being done more like a Cub. The fuselage of topic came with a stash of parts from a hangar clean out....

The Great Lakes I'm restoring fits my mission nicely. Inverted spins anyone?

Mix some glycerin in with the soap solution. It makes better bubbles and easier to see air leaks. Jim

Me too. Old. I do remember, with a fed in the jumpseat, all that TCAS stuff going off at about 300 feet on final. Don't remember the aircraft;...

I was waiting for you to land all day, so had to eat lunch without you!

Dgapilot, you could put that Amazon heater on a stand outside and slightly away from the airplane and use HVAC ducting to connect it to dryer exhaust...

Unless your catto is pretty short 40 pitch is fat. If a metal 7440 Sensenich works. 300 ft seems long. I’ve hauled a well over gross non flapped 11...

From reading JimC's posts it seems like the major difference is in the RPM at which maximum HP is achieved. The C90 for example made 90hp at 2450...

Thanks guys! Great info, as always. I will call EDO tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org

Isn’t just like a Garmin? It’s intuitive. Just touch it in the right place.

When I assembled a set of EDO 2K's in 1978 EDO supplied the zinc chromate tape mike mentions. Their recommendation was to apply to those fittings and...

I doubt it's possible, but maybe they formulated 5606 to not wet and flow forever in air like ATF for transmissions does. Hard to believe a petroleum...

That splains it. Modern digital systems didn't exist when I hung up my headset.

Pete, for a number of years before I retired it was required to leave our transponders on while on the ground. This allowed the ground surveillance...

Check ebay.........I think I saw Piper covers. I've not seen anything like these before.

Pete, like you I remember the caution to squawk standby on the ground. There was an Advisory Circular a few years ago saying the opposite about the...

Zinc chromate putty. Fuller Seam coatings seam sealing compound 3998.(formally RL-3700) MIL-P-8116 Don't know where to get it now. Mike is...

Okay, forgive me, but this thread has taken on a really shitty odor......:Gcloppy: From wind to, errr, gas..... MTV

Yes, those temps shouldn't be a problem. I've used the "Zero Start" (used to be "little buddy") heaters down to -40, but always listen to them when...

It's been a long time since I was active in the controlled environment. As I recall, if not a regulation, it was certainly something which was...

Jeff, Good for you for cleaning up the "stuff" inside those floats. I'm not sure about the gooey stuff that EDO used on those eye bolts, but I'll...
