I have a hard time watching when reading is so much faster.
I assume this is to fix looseness? You guys helped me immensely when I had to tackle one of these. Back then one could buy oversize AN bolts from Genuine, so we reamed all holes for oversize and wound up with a perfect tight tailcone. Even re-bushed the tailwheel stinger.
Hardest thing was getting the control surfaces on and off. Most surprising thing was how few sheet metal screws hold the dorsal fin in place.
Knowledge from this forum has saved us thousands of dollars. I must get off my dead ass and write SJ a check.
I’m pretty sure he said 1500 hours, not 1000.It’s to fix the cracked structure at the rear horizontal attach point that’s common on straight tail Cessna. The stringer extends forward with a bunch of rivets and is $5000 from Cessna. Service bulletin says to inspect every 500 hrs and bills kit is every 1000 hrs

Bob got any more info on that? I was wanting some oversize AN or MS bolts recently, but didn't find a source.Back then one could buy oversize AN bolts from Genuine
Easier than that - credit card works just fine - -. Never miss a chance to give Bob a rash. Unless I'm busy with Perry, that is.I must get off my dead ass and write SJ a check.

Cool feature! Just used it for the first time. 1.5X seems to be perfect for Bill. Thanks for pointing that feature out.Pilots are slow to learn...
You can use the youtube settings feature at the bottom of any youtube video to double the speed of the video if you like. Easily solvable.

Steve - are you the same Steve Pierce that has some tailwheel videos on youtube?
No AD (yet), so not mandatory for 91 guys. However, definitely need to do on the 180/182/185s due possibility of occurrence. I did the inspection with aid of a boroscope 18 mos ago or so and wasn't difficult.Is SEL 55-01 mandatory for Part 91? I did it on my 69 180 with 12,000 hrs and found no cracks.

Just out of curiosity - what is the difference between Bill's kit and what Joe Dory is selling? Perhaps they are the same and Joe is a distributor. I don't know.
