I'll be doing it myself. :eek: But I'll be glad to help out with your Champ. (get some practice before doing mine ;) )

He does know what he's talking about.

Not until I get ready to sell it. o_O

Two of them actually. One damaged, and one in very good shape.

Ended up with four wings, two fuselages, one full set of tail feathers, and two engines. Three sets of logs, and three data plates. Then later on (a few days later) ended up with another A65 for $100, and all the 65hp cylinders and pistons they have for $5 each. Here's what followed me...

Friend of mine had his Jake R755 stored in a vat of oil. completely submerged.

I bought a Cessna 150 once. The logs seemed to be all there dating back to the day it rolled off the assembly line. Had an engine vibration, which I assumed to be the prop out of balance. It was in rough shape anyway so I pulled it and sent it to Sensenich for repair. At the same time, the carb...

WD-40 works well for that too.

I wouldn't do that. Just add another day or two to your trip. Just at morning civil twilight, to about noon, is roughly 7 hours of flight time this time of year. the afternoon boomers are just starting to build at that time (noonish). How far can you get in 7 hours, up high, with it's ears...

The annual inspection on my airplane usually runs about $350. I do all the work, and fix all the discrepancies. This past annual was closer to $3k, but I had two cylinders overhauled.

So you would be comfortable with a $2000 "pencil whip" ? (assuming you are not there to insure they are thorough)

what about 2 4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, combined with 3,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and diesel fuel? We used a whole bunch of that for many years for mesquite control. And then Arsenic Acid for cotton defoliation.

While it's all apart, Paint or polish firewall, and inside of cowling.

Replacement belts from Wag Aero, are also not too expensive. I did mine a few years back.

My encounter with WT was enroute to a fly in for the latest eclipse. I was overtaken by an Aero Commander. when he got out of sight, I'd forgotten about him. Then the airplane started rolling to the right. took quite a bit of input to coax it back to straight and level. This all about 10 miles...
