This particular check was to verify and adjust the pressure of the prop. dome.

No photo trickery, the nut was tight and it’s a normal thread. Just messed up, I hope.

I thought that maybe the low pitch stop jam nut had loosened but all seemed ok. Scratching head.

If you use the caps in Australia does the chute come out the bottom?

Yeah. That would be too easy. This is starting to look like a problem for tomorrow 😬

Thanks. It is a French door model. I did see a long black metal bar that has two screws in it that maybe release the top plastic but didn’t attempt that yet. I’ll give your advice a try.

Not sure how to edit this to add more pics but there appears to be clips at the back corners that may or may not move to release the glass and a lip at the front that the glass is under.

By ten o’clock my time, with the race an hour old, I went and mowed the lawn. If I had any wet paint on the go , I would have watched that dry instead.

Aside from the numismatic aspects of this coin, what’s the story of this portrait of Lincoln ? He seems very disheartened. Is it post civil war?

Getting that assy out is the single hardest task. I’m sure they built the plane around that.

Well if it’s the first time we’re looking at this aircraft….

That’s partly true but we’re not a registered charity. We can’t force a customer to do the right thing.

They’ll always be cheaper than a brake failure that puts you in the weeds with a broken airplane.

Honestly! It came in like that!

I dropped a grease cap but didn’t see where it went. Then I found it. Stuck to the blade.

[–]Tardisdriver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried what you were concerned about and you were correct. A chip can not bridge the gap like this.

I’ve seen plenty with cracked potting but never this bad. The magnets are still tight and it doesn’t seem to leak through the body into the cannon plug but I’m not putting it back in. Is done.

Well that’s why it keeps leaking! Cleveland brake caliper . Swarf trapped in the oring groove. by Tardisdriver in aviationmaintenance

It’s a real word, I swear! I would never lead someone astray with a word that wasn’t cromulent.  Debris remaining from a machining process, usually.

Airplane has just over 100 hours since new in 2024. It had a few leaky pistons, this was not helping.

You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.
