Good morning. You are missing an undertsnding of the breadth and depth of the TEACHING that goes on in a 14cfr147 school. While it is true you would, in one (of about 15) modules disassemble,...

Good morning. You are missing an undertsnding of the breadth and depth of the TEACHING that goes on in a 14cfr147 school. While it is true you would, in one (of about 15) modules disassemble,...
‘Mornin’. This is where the extensive logging of your time and efforts in specific areas of the material come in. The referance to the PTS and new ACS are accurate and a good guidline. They ARE what...
There is no absolute mandate that says your log of time has to be “signed off” by anyone but your own self cert. if you can run a list of what you did and the timeline that you did it it may give the...
This post has been running a long time. I can answer these for you. You can get either Airframe or Powerplant. Whichever you do first will include the written and O&P for the General. The other...
Hey Joe. I don't think there will be an issue with registering the Stits. My concerns are: 1) you will be hand propping that 65 and I think it sits in an awkward angle. 2) Operating out of your...
Thats a pretty good shot of what it looks like. What you cant see is that Mike and I went through all the systems and OH’d the cyls. With a bit of tweaking we got the engine running sweetly it was...
Joen Good Morning from Jacksonville, FL. I have a bit of experience with the S3B 1-2 place Playboy. I have resurrected the prototype not once but ..well....1 1/2 times LOL. I was handed a pile of...
I have been the Dir of Ed for a large A&P school and still occasionally teach at a local A&P school. I also still teach the "prep" course at FSCJ here inJacksonville ,FL. AFTER you get your FAA sign...
I just spotted this request. I used them almost exclusively for my 7 airplane NH flight school (1992-1999) and one more C 85-12 in 2008. We ALWAYS had EXCELLENT engines at a very reasonable price. ...
I know we've decided that we are smarter than the engineers at the various prop factories and that you won't hurt (especially a fixed pitch) prop by pushing or pulling but keep the force as near the...
All true wood props (NOT composite OVER wood..) will have 3 drain holes ( I think I remember from teaching this years ago, that they are typically .040" or a #60 drill) These MUST be kept open and...
Mr Hunter has shown a -12F. The taper shaft and 'F' flanged shaft are interchangeable at overhaul and I believe either will work just fine. I have done some 65 to 85 conversions over the years. ...
Please note that , while 'rattle can' paint will usually give a nice finish it is virtually always enamel paint. That said it means that anything you have to do from then on must be 'on top' of that...
Larry, I know something of that 'stack' of projects and priorities. At least you have SOMETHING flying.
Glad to be of help. Direct email is iterk@aol.com when the time comes.
Terk,

Bill, Sorry for the slow reply. 1) Bahama Blue is a stock color in many paints including the various butyrate dopes (i.e. Randolph) as well as in the Stits/PolyTone product. The fact that lacquer...
I am involved (again..) in getting N38K back in the air. This is the prototype S3B (2 place) Playboy. I never have had drawings for this (my second re work of this great airplane) and the last...
Back in the early 1980s I rebuilt N38K, the prototype 2 place S3B. On the test flight I discovered the hard way that there was no up elevator stop! I had done a bit of slow flight and about 3 wheel...
I haven't forgotten you. I'm having trouble with that 'older' 10- number. Even my older MS manuals don't go back far enough to identify your 10-2983. With that in mind and going back to your original...
Greetings. Please identify the carb by 10-xxxx number from the data plate. This will allow you or me to look in the eligibility list and tell you what exact engine it is approved for. If it's a...
I added to this thread back when you were looking at your paperwork (old lost paper trail...). You've come a long a way, nice job. Get the bird FLYING. As an old A&PIA and 'old' airplane builder I...
'Mornin' all. I have done a number of things depending on the installation. In this case you might either use a bit of the sealant you are caulking with to just get it water tight OR or remember...
The good folks at TEMPEST bought Marvel Schebler from the folks in Washington that have been the caretaker of the brand for a while. Go to www.tempestplus.com . They should have what you need. I...
American Champion should be able to sell you a new seat but I believe I modified a few of those some years ago. It wasn't that hard. Talk to your local A&P/IA about someone doing the weld mod under...
There are a couple of options in the Jacksonville area. Give Joel Weaner a call. He is an independant CFI that flys specialty flights (T/W) for a couple of folks. He has a Piper Vagabond that he...
In some haste... If this doesn't make sense email me at iterk@aol.com and I'll go into more detail or give you my phone number. I used to teach this at an A&P school :-)).
