I have two airplanes, one damaged, one in good shape but not all there. Both have logs and data plates. I'm restoring the damaged one using the parts from the good one. One major part is the fuselage frame. I plan to use the logs and data plate from the restored damaged one. Then once that is...

Aside from the linear defect, is there lint on the windshield? or is it already crazing?

Got on the phone this morning, called, AS, Univair, Wicks, Chief, Wag Aero, and Classic Aero LLC. Wag has the smaller pulleys (listed as a J-3 aileron pulley), but not the others. No-one else has the 3" pulleys, or even a listing for them. No sooner than I posted this, the phone rang. It was...

I guess I'll get on the land line and talk to a person, (is that even possible anymore?) and see if they can come up with what I need.

They have other pulleys with no specific application, just a part number, and description giving the dimensions.

It's a double edged sword. On the one hand you have a ton of work to get done, so you work on Saturday to get it done. Saturday is a nice day and brings out all the weekend warriors. 90% of whom want to ask you about this or that, and they wait untill the most inopportune moment to do so. Then...

OK, I'll call them all. But it would seem that they would at least offer that on their website.

Yes: Fits 1/8" cable. Outside diameter 3.005", Groove diameter, 2.522", Width .337, width at hub .375", with a bore of .1875". For the layman that's; 3" outside diameter, groove of 2 and a half inches diameter , pulley is ~23/64" wide, the width of the bearing is 3/8", and the bolt hole is...

Yes, no-one will come across with any part numbers. Just vague information as to where they got theirs. And when I try to go to their "source" I hit a brick wall.

It seems that there are none anywhere, in any way shape form or fashion. The closest I can find are MS20220-1, and MS20220-2. While the outside diameter, and groove diameter are the same as what I need. The width of the pulley, and hub, are too wide by way too much. And the bore diameter is...

I would first suspect the coax. The KX170 does not have a glideslope receiver. The GS receiver is integrated in the Indicator. There may be some faulty coax allowing "cross talk" between the two. Somewhere in the antenna system there should be a diplexer which splits the signal from a single...

Surely there is paper work with the airplane which will provide enough information to deduce the total time on the engine, and be reasonably accurate within a few hours. Especially if it's the engine that came on the airplane, and the tach has not been replaced. Dollars to donuts, the CD from...

Check the nozzles in the heads. They can get stopped up.

simple solution: Move closer to the airport. ;)

I like the way they do it at TripleTree. They have a tower, (WWII vintage) operated by volunteer ATC personnel. (during flyins) They also have published arrival procedure. All you have to do is follow procedure, be on altitude, be on speed, be on frequency, and shut up. They'll call you when...

I call at 15 miles out. That means I'll be entering downwind in about 4 minutes. The average T&G takes about 6 minutes from takeoff to landing. So, If you're already on downwind, I'll be behind you, and you should have plenty of time to land, and take off again. I will be flying wider legs than...

Ya'll ain't heard nuttin' yet. I had a flight of four Osprey come over the house. I heard them comming 10 minutes out. Talk about "rattle the rafters"! It was awsome! :D Then the day two F16 came by. They were dodging the tall trees, and singing the short ones. They made two passes. Low...

Just today I had similar scenario to the OP. I did what had to to stay VFR, then I told ATC what I was doing, and why. The controller actually became very helpful in getting me around the mess. And would periodically check to see how I was doing. It was way cool, to have the controller be so...
