Cast iron is relatively porous and tends to hold oil because of that. Also cast iron has a certain amount of self lubrication due to the high carbon...

I'd stay away from the wings unless you put the port down on a strut. Wings operate by pressure differential so I wouldn't even want to vent a static...

The cleanest airflow would be back on the empennage. You're looking for smooth airflow with no induced pressure changes. Cessna can put them on the...

NO!!!! As PA-22 said above, that may be what led to this in the first place. Don't use a heat gun on most fabrics. You need to use an iron to...

Still warmer inside the hangar. One of the real fabric guys on here can talk to you about maybe ironing it again for a little more tension. Web

Just from the pics, it looks like the cold shrunk the airframe more than the fabric (cold day?). Did the wrinkles go away once it's back in a warm...

Is this a new recover job? Is this a new airplane to you? Is this a 'warm weather' airplane recently moved to a cold weather area? Web

Now that's a new one. Web

Insert my objection to built in intercoms here, lol. My observation is that you will get better control and function from a stand alone intercom...

The cutouts are the best way of planning your layout. It gives your brain a solid visual picture of the final product. If you do it right, you'll...

By the way, if you are installing the TT22 transponder, you only need to add the TN70 system to make it a certified ADS-B out system. Web

These are great units. Very good quality. The remote heads are great for panels with clearance issues. Just make sure your coax and wire harness are...

Sky-Tec starters. Either HT or NL models. and make sure you have a GOOD ground strap from the crank case to the airframe. Web

Never been to the south side of the pond. Hope to get there one day. Web

Do you need the switch and the actuator? Web

Here are some clips from the book. Look at part #52. Web

If the arm is serviceable just install it on the new switch. It's just held on with the switch mounting screws. Web

Do a Google search, multiple sources. 'Onlinecomponents.com' shows seven at Honeywell. Just a tip for the Cessna guys; all those little electrical...

Just for others information; if you need to operate one radio from two seats, look at the Trig TRY91 as it can be installed with two separate control...

Even if you go with the '200, my offer to fab the harness still stands. Web

Thanks Problems on the early ones that ended up generating an AD Web

Baker or spy? Web

I'm curious as to why the 'Alaska' Airmans Association brought in an airplane from outside. Web

Here are temperature notes from Cessna, DeHavilland, and a tensiometer manufacturer. Web

Cable tension is directly related to ambient temperatures. Lots of tension gauges have a 'cheat sheet' with them that corrects for ambient temps over...

Wiring a transponder is pretty minimal. Especially with a serial altitude encoder. Pick something current and go with the install. Web

Check with any local battery suppliers. Most have some kind of collection program for old batteries. Web

Tip of the hat to a pro. And I'm 57, kid. Lol Web
