Calling on the group for advice. I have stumbled upon an O-320 off a C-172. The engine has 2780 since new and is timed out. Although when ferried from the south, on a 9 hour flight it only used 1 qt. I get the mags, engine, logs and new carb for $4000. Is that good? No storage. It came right...

I was following the thread on Bendix and Slick magnetos and contacted several repair shops regarding getting my magnetos overhauled. I got a message back from one shop telling me they didn't overhaul magnetos they only repair them. What am I missing? I don't believe my magnetos are broken...

I purchased the Stearman type sight gauge from Aircraft spruce and it's too deep for my Hatz fuel tank. The company says it's not modifiable. So I am looking for another source of this type of gauge. The depth of my tank is about 4" at its deepest. They might be saying the gauge can't be...

I have been searching for a Camloc flush-mount panel latch for an oil access door on the engine cowling. It is the type of latch that looks like a button, is spring loaded and the Fairchild Fasteners catalog calls it a KM 610-32. I need one. Checked Aircraft Spruce and Wicks Aircraft. Going...

Dear All, I am starting to build my center section fuel tank and need information about how to swage holes in the bottom of the tank so that I can edge weld the six fittings specified in the plans. Four of the fittings are finger strainers and one is for the sight gauge. There is one more...

Dear Group, I am in the process of building my cowling and have the engine up on the mount. What I need to know is what is the amount of torque on the engine mount bolts? I have rebuild manuals, parts manuals and the owners manual but can't find a torque for tightening. The engine is a...

As a rookie homebuilder I am confronted with the question of whether to have the cylinders rebuilt on my O-320 or save my pennies and spring for new ECI/Superior or Lycoming assemblies. On one hand new cylinders would give the comfort that new posesses. On the other hand the number of hours...

For A&Ps and others, Homebuilding ones own plane is very educational. Right now I am learning about the vacuum system in particular the vacuum pump. My engine, an O-320-E2D, can take a 211CC or a 215CC. I haven't been able to fnd the difference in the literature. Does the difference in these...

I have to decide between a climb prop and a cruise prop for my Hatz biplane. I am looking for a primer on propellor choice. For climb I was thinkng Sensenich W74EM-54 and for climb Sensenich W74EM-58. Propellor experts educate me please. -- John "Ebby" Ebensperger Hatz Classic s/n37 Camden, NY

Dear Group, I have read many old threads dealing with using auto alternators on certificated engines but have been unlucky in finding specifically what I am looking for regarding an answer to my question. So help me please or send me in the proper direction to find help. I have an O-320-E2D for...

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...

Is the A/W-95 Helicopter by A-B Helicopters a good design for what it is ??? I'm thinking of building it but appreciate any advise . Thanks ED

Eventually I plan to build a tube-n-fabric aircraft, but now isn't the time. However, I would like to start developing the skills that I will need. I've been looking at kids playsets for our yard. Most of them are made from redwood, and are quite expensive. Several thousand dollars for the...
