"highly stressed parts" by
Michael Horowitz
Under rust removal we see the statement "For steel parts, except for
highly stressed steel or stainless steel surfaces, the use of abrasive
papers, buffers, hand wire brushing, and steel wool are acceptable
cleanup procedures"
What are 'highly stressed...surfaces"?
Do I have any on my Tcraft? -...

"Lippsing" a Q-tip prop by

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...

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal
bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings

"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...

mhorowit
I was working with an A&P while he did a pre-purchase for me.
He looked at the inside and remarked that 'red oxide primer is a plus".
Can someone elaborate? what's it better than?- Mike

"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?

'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...
