Fastener quadrant I.D. question by
Ricky
Howdy,
I'm looking at some airplane modification drawings that have ya, ass,
xa, and xl in the NW corner of the fastener quadrant. I know that
quadrant is the fastener I.D but I'm looking for a website where I can
do something like punch in the letters I'm seeing and be told what the
fastener...

go, plus the text but these will give you the idea of what's involved.
While the wing is held in position by...

"...but I don't have a lathe." by
[email protected]
"...but I don't have a lathe."
Sound familiar? The truth is, you probably have any number of things
around your shop that can serve as a lathe.
In a lathe, the work rotates against the cutting tool. ( In a milling
machine, it's the cutting tool that rotates against the work.) The
main purpose...

instrument panel material by
jan olieslagers[_2_]
What is the typical material for an instrument panel?
Soft steel sheet, I should think? What thickness?
Have I understood some designs have the panel as
an integral part of the fuselage, contributing
to its strength/stiffness?
But that would be fibre (epoxy/carbon) planes, no?
TIA,
( 1 2)

Identifying Rivets and Rivet Sets? by
Michael Horowitz
A friend presents me with an assortment of rivets and a shrug of his
shoulders, so I'm attempting to determine what I have.
An examination of Table 7-10 of the AC shows head silhouettes; not
diameters, just shapes. Most of these rivets appear to have the
universal head shape (MS20470), but come in...

Lycoming O-235 dimensions question by
cavelamb himself[_4_]
Regarding the Lycoming O-235, O-290D and O-290D2...
Lycoming says the engine is 29.06 inches long.
But does that include the mags? Or just to the accessory case?
Does someone have one handy that they might check on that?
Appreciate it.

"Was that thing made in China?", I ask.

A Simple Auto Engine Conversion by

I was thumbing through a catalog from Speedway Motors. They advertise
a magneto-type distributor. Assuming you didn't come across a
thrashed race engine with magnetos, couldn't someone put together an
engine worthy of aircraft use, by simply 1) ordering an aftermarket
engine with fuel injection,...

Looks like our old friend Paul is at it again. Reminds me a lot of the
contractor-guy in that movie "The Money Pit". (When will my house be
done? Oh, in about two weeks!) Right. And Jerry Lewis said that we
were only a few years away from a cure for MD. That was in 1977.
