Wow..can we have some more details? Perhaps a website? I had no idea that a tall-tail "D" was even being restored!! ES

Right now, I am currently in school to get my AME licence. The college I am at is looking to get rid of a Cessna AgWagon airframe (full control, partial intrumentation, great condition). Since restoration is the niche I want to get into, I was wondering if the AgWagon is a bit too complicated for...

What would be a way to fix a mismatch in holes in steel without ruining the temper? Specifically a main gear leg which it bolts up to a plate . Two of the four holes are about 1/3 diameter off. The bolts are 3/8" od. Possibilties, as I see it, a elongate existing holes in one part to fit the...

I need some help with Piper part numbers. I'm looking for the Piper Part numbers of the 6.00x6 nose wheel fork used on the "heavier" Cherokees, Comanchees, etc. Jay Honeck and Don Tuite sent reprints of the PA28 manual pages which show only the 5.00x5 wheel and hardware. Thanks guys. I have seen...

My Decathlon is in annual right now, and needs some repairs to the original dope-on-Ceconite finish. Our new A&P doesn't have much experience with fabric work, so he sought advice from others. I'm feeling uneasy about the answers he got. A couple of questions for those with paint and fabric...

At http://www.taylorcraft.info/tcraft/proj207.jpg we see a restored tailsection. The bushing appears to have first been welded to a plate, and the plate in turn welded to the tailpost. Is that what was done? Is this done to help with alignment of the bushing? - Mike

I saw an ad in my current Trade-a-Plane for a "new from the factory" Bf 109F still in its original shipping crate as manufactured in 1942. Has anyone heard anything about this find? I wonder if it's a scam? What a find--wow. Cheers: Paul

I've seen some Apaches listed that are 'Doyne conversions' but I can't find what the conversion involved, except maybe 180hp engines. I know about Geronimos, but what exactly makes up a Doyne conversion Apache?

Wanted--tube for the tail wheel tire for a Beech 18 Aircraft. Contact Ed at e-mail

It was shot by an enemy Zero last week, but I was able to land it.It's badly damaged. How can I repair it?

Okay gurus, this may be a simple one so here goes. I just bought a project aeroplane and it's obvious the guy was using auto fuel in it. It's been sitting for about 8 years and there's that great auto fuel residue all in the tanks, selector valve (frozen), I'm sure in the lines and I don't even...

"Dick" wrote in message ... Would you have a brand name or source for that polishing compound. I agree Micromesh is too expensive. Tamiya "Compound" comes in a small tube and is ideal for polishing the paint and clear...

Hello to the group. I'm probably going to be acquiring a '46 Champ project in the near future and I've never done a recover before. I've been reading a little about Ceconite and Poly Fiber - For you old heads at this - Is one better than another? Are there plusses & minuses that I should know...

I have been restoring my Maule Aircraft and removed a pretty oxidized and "boat" type antenna from the belly. It was working perfectly when the aircraft was dismantled and there is no decal saying "do not paint" as with some other types of antennas. Anyone know if this is paintable? Tom

The Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum in Pueblo, CO has obtained an F-104 Starfighter from the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. The canopy seems to have some sort of paint or coating on the inside of the canopy. Does anyone know of a way to remove it without damaging the canopy? Thank you in...

Does anyone know of any Percival aircraft being restored in the U.K (or the world)? Thanks, Jon.

The last B-36 Peacemaker ever built, #52-827, needs your help. This magnificent airplane sat outside in the Texas weather for decades, subject to the summer sun, winter rains, birds, and vandals. Years of dedicated effort (44,000 hours) has restored the magnificent bird to near-new static-display...
