Greetings All,
Does anyone in the NE US have an Airmaster C-Spanner prop blade ferrule
wrench
that I can borrow for a day? I'd like to inspect my hub.
Failing that, does anyone have an engineering diagram of it so I can fab
my own?
Many TIA!!
Ira N224XS

Ah, well..............
Having conquered a furious battle with alu - the production of
Ted Gladstone's exemplary Door Openers - after having made only four of each
of four samples. That's right - 16 faulty samples - a simple misread each
time. In one case I made two faulty samples one after another - and each a
copy of the original mistake..........!
FINALLY, after correcting these egregious errors, and coming out
with perfect silhouettes and holes all in one line, I have but to drill with
4mm in order to thread with 5mm. Out came the treasured metric tap/thread
set, bought with hard-earned Canuck pennies in emerging German industrial
toolmaking in Munich, 1956. Narex the trade name was. I knew I would need
them one day.
Then in a fit of completion, I bought a Swedish 5mm tap and on
inspection, discovered it said in TINY print, "WS" and down in one corner,
"Coarse Thread".
Oh-oh. I drilled 4mm on a scrap alu plate, brought out my 5mm tap, and
threaded a perfect hole.
The supplied door closer gas springs (anent "GS 8699-1 2 off")
plus what I call 'pivot balls', came in kit 'FUSELAGE SMALL' according to
my shipping records. You guessed it - the pivot balls won't thread into my
test plate.
I can only surmise that they are of the "fine" persuasion. Can
anyone confirm this? I am only too pleased to discover this anomaly before
I've tapped the 5th and final TG openers.

I have Mylar seals on N81EU. I installed them during a clean-up action and
found them not to improve performance in any measurable manner. The real
improvement were wheel fairings and leg fairings.
BTW, I am preparing for my next trip which will take me to Anchorage, Nome
(possibly with a short visit to Providenya, Russia), Fairbanks, Edmonton,
Oshkosh, Los Angeles. Anybody who wants to join in for parts of the trip ?
Sincerely,
<Thomas, N81EU>
