Bob,
Hard to tell, but here is a pic of what I have:

Can anyone tell me what the connector is that connects the antenna into the back of a Cessna ARC RT-459 transponder? Thanks, Bradley

The holes mightbe there to allow bubbles to pass when "burping the system. I place mine in the "up" position to facilitate getting the air out.

I used to use a scroll saw to cut mine. It works ok, is fast, can easily accomodate a guide for straight cuts. Then finish off with a belt sander or a router for a rounded edge.

I bought one of tho ...

The "jam" nut they're referring to is the second nut on the shaft. The prop always needs at least one. If you are pitching from neutral through -2, use the jam nut. I use it anyway - better ...

I have two new 6 gal fiberglass tanks for a M3 that I did not use. One is warped, and I worked on making it fit. In the end, I splurged on the plastic tanks. They were never installed in the plane.

Depending on where you live, you can dilute your coolant to about 75/25. Ethylene Glycol is an insulator, not a conductor. It is a double edge sword, however. The lower ratio will boil sooner, but it ...

Hey Lowell,
When I mounted my Geo to the M2, I went and bought a laser level from Home
Depot. I can't imagine doing this without this magical tool.

Basically, I mounted the engine with 2 degrees ...

The C-172 POH for the older planes has this limitation for 40 degrees only. There is no such limitation for the newer 172 models limited to 30 degree flaps.

The AN series aluminum reducers would work better than brass, I'd think.
Taps are tapered, so you could size the threads smaller than normal, and get
a good "bite", such that the adhesive ...

Lynn,

The idea of using the threaded reducer is a very good one. One could epoxy
that in place so it's would stay permanently. The only small issue I could
see is that the port will not be at th ...

James,
There's no need to thread anything into the fiberglass. Drill holes at the
very top and bottom, and epoxy in short aluminum tubes to which you will
attach the clear tubing. Threads suck in t ...

OK. Well. It looks like someone will have to weigh in on
behalf of the poor old 582. I've been running one for the past 312
hours, with little problem. I've been on numerous cross count ...

One thing about the proposed left seat/left throttle, right stick combo that no one mentioned. How are you going to set your radios/GPS/xpnder/ etc., if you're holding the stick with your right hand? ...

Suzuki G10 three cylinder. You'll know it as the Geo Metro engine.

A properly maintained Continental 0200 will be much more reliable than a
Subaru conversion. I ...

I don't know much about the Subie, and I've never flown one.

I am, however, having good luck on another auto-conversion on my KF Model 2.

Let me say this for your edification: I am a fan of dedi ...

On an internet forum, it's all IMO.
