Pawnee front seal leak by Andy[_1_]
Thanks to those that replied to my post in September. One Pawnee was fixed by changing the crank seal, the other was fixed by snugging down the governor plate nuts. It took a while to hear about this as I don't see the mechanics that often. I was not able to reply on that old thread. Andy

A student landed out just short of our airport in our club's 1-26 last Saturday. No damage, no injuries, glider readily returned to it's tiedown. Apparently, the airport manager told his bosses about it and they chewed him out for not immediately reporting the landout to NTSB. The story goes on...

Removing vinyl letters by Gary[_5_]
Working on my ASW-20 today. Changing the contest numbers and N# which are old vinyl markings. My guess is they were applied around 1995 when the fuselage was refinished. A fingernail did not get an edge started so looking for the best way to remove these with relative ease. Thanks Gary Adams GB
