The Great Pumpkin Flies! by
Orval Fairbairn[_2_]
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...

Temporary, portable sand blasting 'cabinet'?? by
Michael Horowitz
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

Thinking of a poly-sheet...

Taylorcraft: Potential project available by
Michael Horowitz
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...

Tailwheels on ebay by
Victor Bravo
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

tachometer connection question by
Mike Marsh
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...

T-6/SNJ Propeller Diameter by
Orval Fairbairn
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...

Sport Aviation, Chapter 92, Orange County, CA by
Nolaminar
Latest Sport Aviation article on Pg 91 discusses the restoration of a 1903
Wright Flyer replica.
The article tells of "applied the coating/UV barrier......"
Previous reference would indicate it is Poly Fiber.
Any idea as to the clear UV barrier?
What is this product?
Thanks
