Ask a HAM/STAN (Hamilton Standard Prop overhaul shop), maybe they got a propnut unairworthy that you can buy cheap to weld on to. Younkin aviation is another engine shop to consider, their very good.

Nothing ever good comes from florida and it highly salt air, Id run.

What caused that geared 1340 to quit? Im behind one all the time, would like to know.

Not true, with the IHandy Level, you calibrate it with it mounted to the prop in any attitude as long as the engine is at TDC, just like any smart levels. No difference if you bump the plane, the level is electronic and remembers itself.

Exactly! You can get several different readings from just flicking the counterweight on that dunce cap. What's the trick with that sucker?

Looks like a digital Degree level put into to modified bowl. I'm sure it can be home built for cheaper. I'll stick with my overpriced Time-Rite indicator.

I have the big time rite model g-18, I'm looking for the arm and degree card for a P&W 1340 and manual just for s&g' s. Anyone know where to find them? Mine by the way has the arm and card for the P&W 4360. Pretty neat. The current model of the smaller model B uses the same arm between the...

Not 100% scripted, that's how business deals work when greed, and stupidity are involved. They forgot to pay one months lease payment, in which opened a loophole for the vultures to strike. No matter how nice a person is today, someone will take advantage of the situation. Therefore I trust no...

Sorry guys but this is getting about as anal as checking the brake fluid level in the master cylinders even thought the brakes workEd last night, as checking the torque on the prop making sure the prop safety wire has not broke and the prop might come off, as checking the tire pressure is within...

Only on radials, especially if sat for a while.

After working the touch screen of a smart phone and an iPad, the touch screen of the garmin is "behind times" I'd rather use the buttons and knobs of the other model garmins.

Planenut my cats name is peanut. Good catch.

Too many kegs of beer loaded I bet.

When your at the bottom the only way is up. Lots of people are in your shoes, just don't dwell on it too long or it will eat you up.
