I was going to have them contact on the ground, add a little rubber to the tube at the firewall. I would guess airloads would also stretch the cable... -
I wish I had done a little more searching on this before. I just cut the slots in the fabric for the rudder cables. I thought I would double check one... -
LOL. My gear is basically assembled and covered, but I haven't tried to pin the nut because I will wait till it is ready to fly to lube it up. I guess... -
I kind of think they need to be like that. The axle nuts aren't very thick, and the hole for the cotter pin isn't that large. Not much engagement range...Leave a comment:

Thanks for the info. I have used both at work I think. The dual plug sockets were also unreliable. Not the plugs, but the sockets. I may go with the Lemo,...Leave a comment:

Prop on Barnstormers
There is an 82 inch Mac in the Bearhawk section of Barnstormers if anybody is interested. Not me. I did email him last month but I decided to go with... -
I was just going to mount my ELT under the pilot seat, and try to remember to reach down and turn it off and armed. That, or I'd put it up in the wing...Last edited by svyolo; 10-21-2020, 12:04 PM. -

Engine compartment heating, on shutdown
I screwed up my mounting for my 2 EFI pumps (rudder cable rubs). I was always planning on putting them under the front seats. It is by far the strongest...Last edited by svyolo; 10-20-2020, 05:27 PM. -
The rod end might be the way to go I think. -

Going forward for the rest of us still building or without a lot of hours, I wonder if a bronze fastener or shear pin would wear better than the steel...Last edited by svyolo; 10-20-2020, 03:48 PM. -
Maybe go up to the next metric size. 3/16" is 4.75 mm. Would 5mm make the hole round enough, or at least better? 6mm is still smaller than 1/4"....Leave a comment:

I was going to mention the Conti options. There are a lot of low/mid time IO-470/520/550's out there. -
I made mine in 4 pieces, 3 of which are hinged. The 4th is a small piece that is fixed in place for the throttle and prop. It is removed in the photos....Leave a comment:
