Ed,
Great Idea! I'll certainly try to make it.

Guys,
(Great idea Ken!) I'd like to propose an FEW / Stewart / any other P51
replica fly-in (or drive in as will likely be the case for most) for later
this year
in Southern California. My shop is very near the Camarillo Airport and is
somewhat local to several FEW builders. If we shoot for late November or
early
December, we can probably get Robert Oliver, Bob Bonde, and Dennis Turner
come
in with their FEWs and there is a beautiful flying Stewart on the field
built
by Owen Smith and I believe a second S51 under construction there as well.
And
possibly the prototype can be available if I can get it out of hock with Jim
Kern by then. The weather is normally quite good around here at that time.
We
can all get together for a day at the airport and a second day in my
facility
for a barbecue and spend some time getting up to speed on all the latest.
Anyone interested? As this forum only reaches a small portion of the builder
group,
pass the idea on to anyone who might have interest and let me know.
Ed

--> FEWMustang-List message posted by: HMS23TURBO@aol.com
The following is an excerpt from an e-mail that Dennis had sent to me. l
wanted to pass it on to the builders group. I highly recommend doing just what
Dennis has done.
I had another thought on the engine this weekend. When I first completed my
engine install I had to cut a corner off the oil pan to make it fit under the
cowling. That involved grinding off the corner and welding a new plate on.
Well, I evidently left some grindings under one of the baffles in the pan and
they worked their way into the oil stream. The result was scratched bearings
and crank. I discovered it during an early teardown to see how things were
going so it didn't do too much damage. After talking with a few engine builders
in my area I decided to plug the bypass on the oil filter so that this
wouldn't happen again.
During the rebuild, my engine builder thought he'd better check the valve
adjustments but he failed to lock down one of the set screws. The rocker worked
its way up the stud and the lifter started banging the lifting rod into it
with such force that it flattened the end of the rod and stripped the threads on
the stud. The rocker was completely off the stud and laying loose in the
valve tray. When we tore the engine down again we found that all the metal from
the stripped threads were in the filter and there was no further damage to the
bearings. I highly recommend that all builders plug the oil filter bypass and
force all oil through the filter.

Count me in! I won't have an airworthy Mustang by then, but will get
there somehow.

I'll try to make it also unless a snow storm gets between me and California.
