Questions on covering by
Ed
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...

Welding question by
Mike
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

Bf 109F by
Tri-Pacer
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:

What is a Doyne Apache? by
JAX
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?

Market Beacon Antenna - Can I paint? by
Tom
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?
