Hi Harry:

I have a similar experience with my 0320-E2D. I have attributed it to wear from re-torqueing over the life of the engine/screen housing. That's just my conjecture, no scientific fact th ...

I have employed the staking of the nose gear pucks solution to prevent them from rotating. My axle is tightened to the point where I can spin the wheel and it stops after 1 1/2 revolutions. That cou ...

I torque mine every other year

How often are you needing to replace the tires? What type/ manufacturer of tires are you using now?

I had a similar, but not as severe shimmy in one main gear leg on my 6A. Replacing the worn ori ...

I had very good results with xylol. You should be able to find it in most hardware stores.

I have that tube extending out into the fairing. The fairing is actually helping to direct the tube/cable toward the rudder horn. I guess if I had to remove the cable, six rivets drilled out and the ...

Brett, I installed both the clamp and fairing. More structurally sound and retains the poly tube much better than relying on the fairing alone.

This is very common with the Matco master cylinders provided with the kit.

Two things you can do include installing an additional external spring at the top of each brake cylinder, as w ...

That little shield is placed just as you describe in the area where the exhaust gets close to your fuel line.

Like you, I have been on the list for what seems an eternity, and have noted your posts over the years. Just want to wish you congrats after a long build time and wish you the best during pha ...

I have an interior done by flighine interiors. It includes some foam

Try this: I am beginning my first annual condition inspection in my RV-7A, o-360 with CSP. I am looking for other options for a condition inspection process or form that might improve t ...

Hi Bert:

If I recall correctly, there is a technique where you use a Loctite product (the name escapes me) that is green in color where you put a dab of it in the area of the leak and then apply su ...

This may seem rather rudimentary, but are you sure it is your nosewheel that is shimmying? I thought I had a nosewheel shake as well until a local pilot saw me land while waiting at the hold short li ...

I had similar trouble. I just carefully used a reamer and all was
well. Congrats on getting things buttoned up!

proper tire clearance.

Van's sells a self-adhesive foil heat shield material that you can stick on the inside of the cowl in the area where heat is a factor. Just make sure you clean the area real well so it will ...

This is a timely thread, as I too have been dealing with my carpeting
getting all bunched up. I submit the following as a possible fix that I
wanted to bounce off the list....

Hi Tom: I have a 6A with a Catto. Removing the lower cowl is more of a
challenge than with a two blade, but still doable. I can take mine off
without removing the nosegear fairing. I put a cou ...
