    Hi All, I've tried to send an email to Scott at Ray Allen using the address from Dale Hetrick ( Scott@RayAllen.com ), but it has come back as undeliverable. Has anyone else had the same problem? All the Best, Paddy Paddy Clarke Europa G-KIMM

    Subject: High Price Part!
    HI All, I was needing to replace one of the bent tube assemblies that the choke cable runs thru at the carb. I figured a little soft brass tube part can't be but a few bucks so I called Lockwood. WOW! $41.00 each! The thing is 3 inches of bent 1/4 inch brass. Has any one replaced these with their own assembly? I have an idea of a bracket that would be stronger and more secure but I thought I would check in on the list to see if others have come up with somethings first. I can afford the part but I hate being raped just because they can. Get that enough from the government! Thanks in advance! Jeff R. N128LJ Gold Rush

    Jeff, Are those brass? You should be able to fashion one from brake line tubing (or brass tubing) from local auto parts house. They should have a line bending tool, too. The stuff is really cheap...

    Subject: fluorescent dye - Fuel Leaks
    From: Paul McAllister <paul.the.aviator@gmail.com>
    Hi All, As part of my "mega annual" I replaced some of the rubber fuel hose in my fuel system, and despite using fuel injection hose clamps (aka expensive), I am no greeted with the familiar smell of auto gas. I returned from flying last evening and my wife gave me one sniff and said, ah you have been with your mistress again.... alas I could not deny it. I was wondering if any one has used fluorescent dye successfully for chasing down fuel leaks, and if so could you suggest a supplier. Thanks and regards, Paul

    We bought some dye from an auto parts store. After placing the dye in the tank, with taped cotton balls at all possible leak locations. After waiting a day, we used the UV light to inspect the cotton balls for the leak. Worked well.

    Hi All, After searching the manuals, I cannot seem to locate any stipulations or recommendations on clearance for the tail pipe from the fiberglass as it penetrates the cowl. Could I get some idea of what clearances seem to be adequate from those of you who are already flying? Thanks, Fred

    Hi Fred I think mine has a good half inch or more all the way round. Some of the Rotax installations seem to shake quite a bit on startup and shutdown, so clearance is needed. How about that engine of yours?

    Subject: Need help with removal of landing gear frame
    While my engine is unmounted for some work, I would like to tend to the corrosion issues of my plane. Among others, I would like to remove the landing gear frame to get it sandblasted and powdercoated. However, it's not only held in place by 8 bolts, but also by a green-ish cement, which I presume is a mixture of Redux and flox. Is there any trick to ease the removal of this frame ? Any way to soften the cement without damage the fuselage ? Luc
