Awesome trick!
Great video. Thank you!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year! I hope you are well!
@@aredina thanks! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family!
Happy new year! I enjoy the videos, I'm a new ap had my license for about a year. I'm also a truck driver contractor. I'm so interested in airframe I love it and can't get enough of it. I rescued a mooney m20g and while I did part time work for a local private airport they gave me a mooney m20C but under the condition that I cut it up and take parts so I did. The only thing is I don't have time to work on my plane. Which is something I really wish I had time to do. It's in 300 hundred pieces lol but one day she will fly again. Anyways thanks for sharing your knowledge and maybe one day I'll make videos working on it showing you that your videos do make a difference in other people's lives. Thanks and happy new year to you again.
Thanks for the feedback! We have all been there! Good luck on working on your own stuff! I have a very difficult time since I work on everybody else's stuff. "the shoe makers kids go without shoes" as they say! I'll keep posting as I think of stuff that is easy and quick. Good luck in your career! Cheers!
Here's hoping you have a prosperous and happy New Year
To you as well!
Will this work for a car engine oil filter using gasoline?
It should! You'd have to just find a way to cut it open, the aviation filters have a "can opener" cutter so you should be able to find something to do that. But it should tell you a little about what's going on in the engine!
I have tried it but I find the paper towel doesn't "load up" as quick with the carbon and other stuff and the avgas can flow through without spilling as bad.
Have you ever tried straining the fuel out with a coffee strainer? Thanks for the video.
Very nice! Any chance of seeing it after it has been installed? Or maybe a video on installing it?
Yes! I can do that! I have a few things to do before i can do that!
Yes please! Especially how to remove the cables correctly. This is such a useful video. Super timely. Thank you!
You don't have safety glasses either
nice workaround
I had a Larsen Luscombe! Number 8 out of 9 if I remember. Hopefully the new owner will take care of it. Easiest tailwheel plane I flew. Cruised near redline, stiff ailerons at that speed.. a landing dream for both wheel and 3pt.
Love it! Tim rules!
great stuff keep them coming !!
I was wondering if you could time my mags im based in Illinois please let me know.
hello hope you are doing great
more information from the pilot would have been helpful.
Cherry Max will hold just fine but is used by lower skilled people trying to save time. And I guess money.
Lower skilled I agree, save time maybe, money no....Solid rivets are sold by the pound and CM are sold Each. Besides Cherrys are only allowed where you have no access to the back side to work the shop head. Hence the term "blind rivets"
Would like to know more about this conversion! What changes were made to make it work? What compromises were made? 😊
There were several things that required changing. Biggest thing was locating the battery in the tail cone, which required fabrication for battery box and support. There was many more issues with this aircraft that we had to contend with and it involved a lot of work. The big compromise is useful load.
@@TheArctictern Thank you for your reply! Didn’t think this conversion was possible until you showed us! 😊
Mine was a Larson Luscombe. Rebuilt for certification in 68-69. Certification became too expensive and he just made it an STC. I owned #8 of 9 converted at his factory. Still had the original O-320 engine from Moody Larson.
Great Video Tim!! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skills. Keep up the good work!
Is it at all possible to make the frame taller of a Cessna 150 by 2 feet ?
Hey Andrew, not sure on what you are asking......to modify a frame wouldn't be hard to do, just depending on the application of what you are trying to do.
What did you use to roll the rear panel? Thanks
I have a 50" slip roller that I was able to use....the sheetmetal was ALMOST too long! lol
@@TheArctictern thanks
Nice craftsmanship
The wings Boss the wings.
Does this pretty much make it impossible to fly with two people?
you just have to be skinny people and wearing shorts and flip flops! lol
@@TheArctictern hahah I’ll keep the c90 I’m 6’2” 210. That’s an awesome upgrade though!
It’s not impossible to fly with 2 people. I did it all the time, however, you couldn’t fill both fuel tanks to be under max gross weight. The bad thing was accessing the magnetos, or removing the oil screen. Moody Larson was trying to get the gross weight up to 2000lbs and would have if they continued with the certification. You can fly it in Alaska at 2000 lbs according to the STC.
👍👍 fun to watch. I start tapes and doilies tomorrow on my 7KCAB fuse. Appreciate the vid!
take your time....measure stuff out and pay attention to details....really makes a difference in the end!
Tim, At 3:48 into the vid. You show the red tooth alignment....Do you have to deal with the impulse coupler at all or just line up the tooth regardless of the couupler?
coupler needs to be disengaged when it is in the timed position....this is usually the case anyway. It should be free to move in either direction with out any resistance.
Thanks for this video. How many planes has this happened to? Karl 90083
As for cracks, almost all that I have inspected. Only have been maybe 2 or 3 that haven't had any indication on the dye pen. As for axle breaking on landing. I know of 4 here locally in about a 2 year span, nothing recently though.
@@TheArctictern sounds like it should really be an AD.
@@TheArctictern roughlt how much weight does this add?
@@karlw7764 Yes I totally agree
@@karlw7764 I don't think it adds anything significant...now if you installed a steel axle there may be a difference there.
The prospect of starting up an aircraft that has been dormant for 26 years is quite a daunting yet exciting endeavor. It's like uncovering a piece of aviation history and reviving it. Proper maintenance, thorough inspections, and meticulous procedures are essential in such cases to ensure safety and reliability.
Thanks Tim it's definitely time to get those old hollow axles with a quarter inch bolts out of service and move into a more standard solid axle.
Tim I just noticed the picture at the beginning of the video was taken at daybreak. Speak in a day break we need to go camping there again
Does buzzer have a probe somewhere that's making it buzz?
There is a buzzer on the box and it connects to the P-lead of the magneto, when the points open it causes the buzzer to go off.
How are you cutting the inside of the stringer out?
Hey Don, Not sure I follow "the inside of the stringer"
Thanks Tim, I really like the clamp holding the covers out of the way!
Thanks for the video.
Excellent video Tim!
Great video. Great lesson on what not to do. General Aviation planes are expensive, but you have to fly safe.
Could you use one of the small hammer impact screw driver along with the compound to aid in the removal of screws? Thanks for the video.
Yes I have had some limited success using that method too. You have to use caution though on the thinner skin so you don't stretch or dent it.
New sub. Where did you find the material needed at? How did you choose the angle to make it on the material? I thought you were to 0 degree a part as much as possible. Did the original part have the re-leafs made in it to allow to shrink the material or how did they do it. In school we each had to make a wing nose rib that was rounded. We had to use a wood block and nylon hammer to stretch and move the metal so as to not need the re-leafs. Could you have done this here or was there a particular reason you did it this way. Just trying to get knowledge and nothing more. Thanks for the video. I will try to find the rest of this video fix.
I used to work for a fab shop and I learned how to make the blocks and forms. I used a 10 degree undercut for sping back. The material I used was 2024-T3 and since it wasn't a tight radius it formed well over the block. And yes the original part had those "reliefs" along the outer edge.
Great video! However, I'm curious about how you verified that the static loads remained unchanged. The original parts are press-formed, and the lightning holes are created using specific dies to ensure the flanges meet the DWG-specified tolerances. While I can see the potential for this method in general aviation aircraft, I have doubts about its applicability to commercial aircraft.
Enjoying this. I have a Decathalon I need to recover so this is good motivation
I'll post another video soon as soon as it's ready to cover. Almost there...I have so many projects haven't got back to this one yet.
Always the peanuts in the gallery.
Nice video and workmanship!
Awesome video series Tim!
Thanks Eric!
I'd be very curious to know if the new upper door frame channel from American Champion fits correctly. I was in the same boat when restoring my 1968 7eca and the new one was a few inches to short. We ended up having to fabricate a new one ourselves.
just ordered it today, so we will see! Hopefully it has improved....holding my breathe......lol I'll probably pass out!
So, I thought at first it was going to be short like you had, but after I got everything in place it was perfect fit.
Looking forward to Part 2. Would love to see the process, tips and tricks. Efforting a recover on a 7KCAB here shortly. First time working with fabric
I'll post when we get some more on it....right now doing some sheet metal on a couple airplanes.
Goood lawd!
I can imagine there would substantial compression loss with a hot engine
Atleast you got individual cylinders!
Nice catch!
Good catch ! Great suggestions, Aundrea !
