Much thanks to the guys that responded to my concerns about the axle bolt. As I said, I know squat about aircraft engineering, I'm mostly a motorcycle guy with a misplaced love of airplanes and flying. I do find that bikes have a lot in common with aircraft, one case being the complete roller beari

All, Due to some issues I will not be sending my gear off to have it measured for possible reproduction. Not a problem with me or the people I was sending it to. Other issues have arisen. Knowing and respecting Mark's guidelines on posts, that's all I'm saying. However, upon disassembly of my gear,

Many thanks for the interest in my nose gear for sale. I will be answering all of you hopefully today. The response made me wish I had more than 1 to sell but that is the purpose of this post.

Been reading the posts on nose gears. I bought a non-flying KR several years ago for engine and parts. It had an 0-200 with a nose gear. If someone is interested in the nose gear portion of the motor mount I am not going to use it. It appears complete and undamaged. If interested contact me off-lis

Another thing Oscar Zuniga did not mention is that the added weight of the Garmin G 2000 and attachments makes your 4 place aircraft a 3 place aircraft. Our CAP Cessna 182's with the G2000 can only fly 3 safely normally and on a hot day with a full fuel load, better make that 2. Of course, I am at

I had the good fortune to learn to fly at the Aero Club located at Holloman AFB. My instructors were all high time USAF trained pilots with a priority for following the rules and safety.

Parley, Not knowing the original color I cannot make that judgement. When I got the foam it was already 30 years old and now 50. It is a kind of green with a brown tint. Never been in direct sun but has had UV exposure I'm sure. Have read about people using other kinds of foam but unsure about tha

I also have the whole package of the foam. It dates to the 70's. My question is, is the foam still good to use after all those years? It is kind of brittle but maybe it was that way when new? Seems awfully easily dented as well. Even though it will be glassed over I was wondering if it will provide

New to this discussion but I have a question. Why don't more people use aluminum fuel tanks?
