I heard that super glue and baking soda would fix it. If anyone knows how, please post ASAP. I want to fly Saturday. I suspect tip repairs aren't the same as a small nick.

They both give reports of excellent results in performance AND NOISE REDUCTION.

I just didn't want to be the first one to put one on a Firestar. So, I will be following your reports on this project. I've been away from my Firestar for the summer, but I'll be back in a few weeks, and ready to start flying and working on it again. -------- John Jung Firestar II N6163J Surprise, AZ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=55565#55565 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 11:24:17 AM PST US From: ray anderson Subject: Kolb-List: movie Guys, I will refer you to the link below. I believe it's going to be a movie that we all can appreciate and perhaps relate to. I'm proud of it because maybe I had a little influence. Many years ago while living in So.Calif. I knew Tony before he became "star and big producer". I had an Aeronca K at the time and flew it to an antique fly in, about a hundred miles up the coast. I asked Tony if he would like to go along and take the controls up and back. He jumped at the opportunity and we had a pleasant day, flying and visiting the fly in. Just maybe that experience encouraged him to continue with his flying.

With a file clean out all loose material and smooth any bulged edges. Put a couple teaspoons of baking soda in a shallow container so you can easily pinch a hefty finger of it. With the nick as level as you can get it, carefully wet the surface of the nick with super glue and immediately sprinkle on enough baking soda to completely dry it. Careful, it will dry instantly. On wood props in particular make sure to wet every nook & cranny. A layer of masking tape on each side under the nick will keep any overflows from sticking to the blade. Continue wetting and sprinkling until the patch is slightly wider and taller than the nick. Then file it down to match the prop. Works on wood or composite.

When I asked why (which I did a lot), I was told that if you do not, the reach or the location of the spark gap would be different from the design distance. May not make that much difference, but that is what I remember being told. So that is what I've always done. And yes, annealing the old ones when re-using them was also taught in A&P school.

That is what I've always done - 503 dual-carb CDI - 700 hours. Plugs ..every 25 hours, whether they need it or not. Just the cost of doing business. http://www.mindspring.com/~possums/ PS ---- I use the expensive plugs too, so it hurts (just a little). "So ....did you jump son? Yeah Dad .... just a little!"

Can't remember how I did it on Continentals... seems like I left them off if there was a sensor, and my old A&P buddy is away camping for a month. jsf do not archive ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thom Riddle" Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 5:25 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: corroded gas gauge > --> Kolb-List message posted by: Thom Riddle > > My memory may be failing me on this but it (my memory) is currently > telling me that I was taught in A&P school to REPLACE the spark plug > washer with the CHT thermocouple ring, not stack them.
