I hope I can upload these.

Here is the info for mixing and applying FAA approved Rescorcinol sold under trade name Cascophen 1131 by AC Spruce but supplied without any of this info. note other sources give a 4:1 by weight mix ratio.. :x but for this product 5:1 by weight is Correct. :D See AC-43 sec 1 for other info...

I've seen some old promotional ads about trials did with Lycoming engine..I think about 100 hp...maybe in the 14-12 ? about the same power as the radials..but much slicker. I bet dan has some background on this , and why they went to the franklin. Franklin is so much more easily and...

19-3A's and Vikings just got hit with a change in their tail support structure AD - Alexandria's fix kit apparently NFG..so they "fixed ones" are back to periodic inspection. Points up a need even for us low powered cruisairs to inspect this area well at annual. FAA's estimate to cut out...

I got my Manly new Pinking Shears in the mail, so went down to the festival of horrors, and pinked the edges of the 38x 5.5" ceconite patch I had waiting from yesterday. Dutifully glued and squeegeed in the patch. NFG ! Fabric was so slack that I got a nice dishpanned patch, that heat was...

I guess the goose isn't going anywhere, either by way of a trade or sale. And it's not just for the usual franklin/wood wing " reasons", but because there are simply better looking bellancas offered at astoundingly low prices. Even some 260 hp bellancas. I had thought I could trade her for...

Glad to see a multi-page review of the Viking / Super Vikings in Consumer Aviation. Frank Holbert was right in there with a good owner review. Thumbs Up Frank ! :D

AC 43 mentions epoxy along with Rescorcinol-Formaldehyde Resin in it's discussion of approved adhesives. BUT, it says all adhesives used in wood repairs must meet Mil Spec, AMS, or TSO standards. So, the question is this. >>> :?: Can anybody name an epoxy that meets one of these...

Now that the engine is in fine fettle, I decided to take her up as high as she would go, and see what I got. Since 12,000 is sometimes warranted for crossing the Sierras safely... I needed to see how long that was going to take, and what the ship would be like when I got there. Short answer is...

Damn CFI refused to give me my BFR in my Cruisair. Now I am having to learn to fly a warrior just to do it, and pay for the privilege. Seems he wants me to fly to "PTSD" standards too. Is this normal or hooey ?

There is a 180 Hp Franklin engine on Barnstormers now. I think it is different than the airboat mess that was on Epain recently. Not sure of any details. also somebody offering something with the ever rare Franklyn mill !! :roll:

My right gear leg is in "constant loss" mode, since we filled it at the annual. Clearly time to replace the packing at the bottom of the gear leg. I got the cruisair not the cruismaster style legs. You know.. the nylons have the stripe down the back.. 1947. can anybody tell me the correct...

safety wire tab near my oil plug just crapped. any ideas short of pulling the pan and welding on a nice sturdy steel washer ! safe wired to the oil cooler bracket for now... long way away. --- after having my damn oil plug fall into an plug up my special wide neck funnel, causing half my...

Is there an oil seal on the input end bearing on the cruisair generator. Mine leaks nicely... one of the last leaks on the engine... and it doesn't really appear to be primarily from the mounting gasket. Figures there must be seal there.. and that the oil is leaking from the accessory case...

I recently was sent a pdf of an old drawing used in an approved installation of a 150 hp Lycoming in a cruisair jr. This from the owner of the much modified jr hangered at Santa Paula. Not sure how useful it is, but glad to share it. Since I was once quoted a price of $20K+ for development...

seemed interesting that this rare Bellanca should show up on Ebay, where probably nobody will notice anymore than they would a Czech plane, say. :o
