wrote: What tools do you take along for a two day XC? - Mike How much are you competent, willing to do that will require tools? For me it was a screwdriver (multi-tip), safety wire and pliers, plug wrench, a few open end wrenchs. -- Dale L.

My XC kit:
qt of oil disposable oil funnels spark plug socket and driver an extra plug or two plus gaskets multi tip screw driver adjustable spanner and pliers Prist and plexiglass safe wipes jumper cables (piper style) camping power supply (this is coleman battery which has a lighter adapter as well as jumper cable attachments) This is for the plane, you may want other things for you depending on where you're going. Example: over mountains enroute throw a coat in the back. My kit developed over time to cover some problems one might encounter after landing somewhere off the beaten path, e.g.: - low oil - fouled plug - bug spattered windows - dead battery - random crap which needs to be tightened, etc. mark "Michael Horowitz" wrote in message ...

Michael Horowitz wrote: What tools do you take along for a two day XC? - Mike I carry a small toolbox in the back of the plane all the time. It has a cheap wire twister, some safety wire, a screwdriver with multiple bits, a crescent wrench, a spare tailwheel tube, a small can of 3-in-1, an assortment of trim screws, a spare landing light bulb, and a few feet of duct tape. I also carry spare tie-down ropes. If I think I'll need them, I'll throw in some tie-down stakes and a hammer.

In reality, I have to say that these are my main tools too. My plane came with a tool kit, and I carry a spare qt of oil. Nearing 500 hobbs hours and nothing that I could fix has been a cause for delay. Had to wait a day for parts once. New is nice |

A quart of oil, and my Leatherman tool. In nine years of cross country flying, I've never needed anything but the oil. (I did lose a starter on a trip, but I couldn't have fixed that.) If I'm camping, I'll bring more tools -- but they're not primarily for the plane. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
