Hi All,
I have been thinking of ways to manufacture a tow bar for my tri-gear.
I am trying to avoid the lock on type that would produce a hole in the
wheel fairing. I've been thinking of the lift type used on tail wheels.
Interested in hearing what other tri-gears have used other than pulling
on the prop base. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jeff Roberts

| Subject: | Teflon hose assembly tutorial |
In case anyone is interested how to assemble Earls Teflon hose with
stainless braid, go to this site and view three You Tube Video tutorials
on the left side:
http://myspace.com/earlsstore1
I have on order -3 Teflon hose and fittings from Earls for remote oil
sender and differential airbox/carb float bowl fuel pressure on 914.
Earls -3 and 4 is not carbon lined, but with little flow on these 2 hoses
I am not too worried about static discharge pinholes in teflon. For most
part am using stainless fittings and ends firewall forward, except the
adapter they have for oil pressure sender is plated steel. I will put a
restrictor in Banjo out of Fuel Pressure regulator, and one in the adapter
going into the oil pump.
I am using Aeroquip 666 -6 hose going to and from my fuel pressure
regulator with a 10mm to -6 416 Stainless reusable fitting I made. Just a
note Aeroquip does not advocate using a chisel on a block of aluminium to
cut 666 hose, they prefer a saw be used.

| Subject: | fire sleeve ~ the trick |
Hello everyone,
during my replacement of oil lines and returning to the regular Rotax 912
pistons I had to slide a tight firesleeve over some 2 feet of oil line.
I remember in the old days how I spent hours twisting, pushing (and
swearing) over this task. This time around a fellow builder introduced me to
the aircompressor technique. Here is how it goes:
You tighten the end of your fire sleeve (clamp it). Then push in the oil (or
whatever) tube into the firesleeve. Have somebody then feed compressed air
into the oil hose and insert the oil hose into the firesleeve. It will go in
like a hot knive cuts butter ! Just keep the pressure on inserting ~ if you
let go - the hoses will seperate with a nice 'thump'-sound.
What you basically want to do, is to widen the firesleeve with airpressure
while inserting the oil line. I got a nice tight fit and only had to cut off
the clamped end of the firesleeve.
Hope this is new to some of you and helps.
~~~~~~~
Reason to take the Xtra high compression pistons out again was an oil-loss
which over 9 months I was unable to seal off. The engine would go through 3
qts of oil in 9 hours of flighttime. And since I will fly N81EU from Los
Angeles to Calcutta this year, I need more than 9 hours of nonstop flying...
Happy Landings !
