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...

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...

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. If you can machine the bronze oilite bushings on a home lathe, you can restore three Maule tailwheels, sell two,...

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...

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...

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 saw his interview with Diane Sawyer last night. They showed video of him flying his sweet P-51. It's a really nice one. It has "Kiss Me Kate" painted on the nose. He had Diane Sawyer in the back seat. He also had two other warbirds escorting and filming him. One of them was a british warbird, I...

Our gliding club towplane (Piper Super Cub) has developed play in the Fuselage / Main strut connection - Portside. The bolt and clevis (Fork) seem to be OK bolt is a reasonably snug fit in the fork. - I presume the play is in the hole in the Bracket welded to the fuselage. Play seems to be about...

I am looking for design criteria for twin tails vs. conventional. For instance, what is the usual ratio of area for twin vertical fins vs. a single one--1:1? If anyone knows this ratio for the Ercoupe early models vs the M-10, that might be helpful. Any old aeronautical design books deal with...

We have come across an original wright " flyer" ID plate that says Type "D" Number "1". We don't believe it is from the later (Model D) types (two of them) given to the Army as SC 19 and SC 20. We have found one paragraph where a military official Arnold was talking to Orville about a plane...

I came across a photoguide to aircraft in the UK, it's not well advertised so you may not have seen it. http://www.ukskies.co.uk. It's got hundreds of aircraft types so it's worth a look. Does anyone know of any other good sites?
