I have been assisting a friend in restoring his #7 Johnson Rocket, aka "The Great Pumpkin". It had the O-435-1 (O-435-C), with the MA4-SPA carburetor. He had had the single-piece venturi installed when he bought the plane. It would cough and miss when power was reduced to 20" MP, making it...

I can use the club's compressor, but I need to bring my bead-blaster to that location. Looking for schemes for erecting a temporary, portable sand blasting 'cabinet'. Thinking of something large enough for a rudder or smaller if we can insert half of the work at a time. Thinking of a poly-sheet...

Folks - I had an 'incident' with my T'craft last month. We've been totaling up the costs and up until yesterday things looked good, then we took what the A&P called a "dial-out' reading on the engine and it is out of limits by .004. I don't know if that was there when I bought the a/c or was due...

My four tailwheel unit auctions on ebay have not even reached half of the new prices of tailwheels. It seems that you can get a great deal and save hundreds off the new replacement cost.

I was just wondering if anyone knows what each pin (marked A, B, C) at the rear of a G.E. type E-9A tachometer (serial no. AC42-65950) connects to? I am assuming that the connections are similar to an automotive tach, is that correct? Will trial/error testing hurt the tach? I am trying to retrofit...

I just checked with my neighbor, who owns a nice SNJ and measured the diameter. His prop is 108 inches (9 feet) long. He tells me that the prop can be shortened 20 inches and still be legal, so the correct length for the T6/SNJ prop is anywhere from 88 inches (7 ft 4 in) to 108 inches (9 feet). I...

Latest Sport Aviation article on Pg 91 discusses the restoration of a 1903 Wright Flyer replica. The article tells of "applied the coating/UV barrier......" Previous reference would indicate it is Poly Fiber. Any idea as to the clear UV barrier? What is this product? Thanks Bob Gaines Marietta, GA

I have aquired a Gyroscopic Directional Indicator made by Sperry Gyroscope Co Part # 669926-6. Problem is I don't know anything about it and can not seem to find any documentation about it (ie. what voltage rating, pin-out, etc). I called Honeywell who bought out Sperry and they told me there...
