I cut and pasted this from an old thread.. my dad did the write up.

They say the primary reason for the fuel flow test is to determine the minimum amount of fuel required to make one...
Charlie,
I for one would really like to see this project get completed. Lots of out of the box ideas that have not been considered before. I think it would be a shame to scrap it at this point.

No, not a certified hose shop.
Plus, too many variables for length to have them pre made. The oil cooler can be mounted anywhere on the firewall. The BOM lists hose type and end part numbers for...
If you have the Airwolf remote oil filter system you can still use our oil cooler STC. The biggest issue is Airwolf uses a long mounting stud for the filter that can interfere with the stud installed...
I think most people in the Pacer groups know who Steve is. He would stop by my place once in a while with the Pacer and visit. Usually on his way to watch Shakespeare in Ashland OR. Last time he was...
Reminds me of an accident that happened years ago that involved a PA-22/20. Pilot buzzed a private airstrip that he knew the owner and hit the top of a 50 foot pine. Killed him and the passenger. On...
Turbos are cool. I have a 1987 2.2 liter 4 cylinder Turbo dodge Shelby CSX that was making just over 200 HP when I blew the head gasket. I would not use one on a back country capable airplane though....
Flaps have been modified also, they are longer. This airplane used to a local one that I maintained for the previous owner before this joker got a hold of it. The selling trail is interesting, he had...
Yes.. changed the alternator and regulator trying to solve the problem. Will have to double check the switch and breakers. This bird has the double Plastic Cessna switch in it. Has good grounds from...
Customer aircraft. Hoping someone here might of had the same issue and know the “fix”
1979 model with 24 volt system.
Here is what it’s doing:
Intermittently the alternator will go “off...
Most of the blue fabrics I have seen are Razorback. That is a fiberglass style cloth system. Not even sure if it’s still available.

I custom make them when installing in my shop. Personally I like stainless steel braided PTFE hose.
Unfortunately I would have to be a certified hose shop in order to make and sell them...
I will join in the group that miss having Skup around.
As for 3D printing, I have one and it is a great tool for jigging. I made a bunch of holders for setting our gascolators in the Laser machine...
I think this one is now owned by a customer of mine. Can’t see what the N number is but it’s paint job is identical. It’s back on wheels. Has a modified Lycoming 0-540 and when I first started...
From that picture it looks a lot like a Dakota Cub rib.

Pretty sure that is one that Eddie Trimmer built.. I would call him and ask.
Brian.
I would offer but already have 2 PA-12’s in the storage hanger waiting for me to get too.. [emoji849]
Will let you know if I can find anyone willing.

Original Piper is 2oz. We went with 3oz because when we were developing the STC we wanted to match Husky bowl size and have it on the first AML.
Brian.
Both have the same 3oz bowl sediment capacity Steve. The only thing DC did different is the bowl retention with the screw..
FAA regulations is 1 fluid oz per 20 gallon main tank size. 3 fluid oz...
I have seen 3 Aero Classics fail and split a seam. Have never seen a Niagara fail.

Cleveland 199-62A’s
Buy new, trust me. Had a customer get several used sets that were just plain junk trying to save money and wound up spending more than if he would have went with new from the...
The through case bolts are smaller on A-J engines. I don't remember the exact size but I believe they are 5/16. The K and on through bolts I think are 1/2 inch. Otherwise the cases are basically the...
