Hi Troy,



Glad to hear that things are going well. My monowheel check list 

includes the following:-



    * Multi tip screwdriver

    * Inexpensive metric and inch sockets and ratchet handle (e.g.

      Harbor Freight supply)

    * Spark plug wrench

    * Metric Allen wrenches

    * Small adjustable wrench

    * Bag with common sizes of washers, bolts, screws, nuts, etc.

    * Needle nose pliers.

    * Tape & scissors.

    * 1 quart oil

    * Small bottle of NPG+ coolant

    * Spark plugs

    * Decalin fuel additive -

      http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/Decalin.php (I

      always use 100LL)

    * Tow line for the tailwheel

    * Tie downs

    * Rotax voltage regulator (~200 hours life at best?)

    * Jacking block

    * Spare inner tube - Wicks Aircraft item # TB-MTAT8X6, this fits

      8.00-6 & 7.00-6 tires. My tire is a 7.00-6, 6 ply.

    * ??



I hope you can drag your plane into the air when you put it all on 

board. Just kidding - never a problem.



Cheers, John

Hi Fellow Europaphiles,

Has anyone come up with a list of must have tools, (and parts for that 

matter) to always have in the plane in case of trouble far from home? I 

know you need tools to get the cowling off and stuff like that. What I'm 

saying I guess is I don't need the entire set of hex socket wrenches, or 

the entire set of combination wrenches, I just want to pick out the 

specific sizes needed for a small kit that would be appropriate for 

someone with a monowheel with a Rotax 912. I could probably come up with 

a list but I'd appreciate any input for things that have gotten someone 

out of a jam in the past. 

I understand that some carry a spare tube for the monowheel tire. Where 

is the best place to get one, ACS? What about a wooden jacking block to 

fit a common floor jack to the LG frame? I don't won't to get carried 

away with a bunch of stuff that will overload me but just fishing for 

ideas really. Thanks in advance to all.
