"highly stressed parts" by Michael Horowitz

"Lippsing" a Q-tip prop by MP[_2_]
Thought I'd ask for comments before doing something stupid and irreparable to our propeller. We have a Hartzell Q-tip prop on our Glasair. That's the fancy bent over tip that gets all the jokes about the FAA Inspector who grounded a Cheyenne when the propellor first came out. (Looks like the prop...

"oh, that's common practice" by mhorowit
I was attempting to set up a pre-purchase inspection on a Tcraft at Ft. Lauderdale. The owner said he'd need a $500 non-refundable deposit before anyone did the inspection. "they might nick the prop, or drop a sparkplug or....". and he said "that's common practice". Having looked at 5 Tcraft in the...

"Ringworming" and repair by Michael Horowitz
Am I correct that 'ringworming' is caused by the placticizers's having evaporated form a dope finish, and the condition can be corrected by re-introducing placticizers via a 'rejuvinator' ?- Mike

"scratchy" radio transmission by [email protected]
I am looking for ideas here; ATC says my radio transmissions sound 'scratchy' or 'staticy' as little as 15 miles out on callup. I have been going nuts trying to find the cause. The aircraft has 2 independant radios, 2 antenna systems (one on top of the fuselage, one underneath). One radio replaced...

"scratchy" radio transmission update by [email protected]
While it was a busy day on the airways (radio wise) I got the same result calling up ATC 15 miles out; 'scratchy but readable'. Tried reaching around back of the seat to key the rear PTT but it was too painful wating for the frequency to open up. I did try calling another aircraft at an airport 55...

"Secret" Overvoltage Protection? by Ron Wanttaja
I had an unusual experience last week, and figured I'd air it here for some opinions. My Fly Baby had developed charging problems again. I wasn't sure if it was the generator or regulator, so I decided to do a bit of temporary wiring to bypass the regulator (Generator armature to +12V, ground...

'58 Complementary Triumph TR3 Motorcar by Jim Weir
My lady has just informed me that she would consider a complementary Triumph TR3 to our classic '58 Cessna 182 a good idea. She's willing to cash in her old Chevy on the Triumph...oil leaks and all...for a TR-3 of that era. Anybody got a lead on one of those old rascals? Jim

1 Attachment(s) 'A' or 'B' circuit generator? by [email protected]
This is so embarrassing, I must just be getting old; I can't remember if the generator in my '61 C-172 is an A or B circuit. Worse, I forget which one is which. Does the 'A' supply controlled voltage to the field and the 'B' does a controlled "ground out" of voltage coming from the field or do I...
