my cheep 1/2" air driver has been THE most useful tool. In my case, >>
Hi Robert,
I am constantly surprised by the level of equipment which the average
American hobbyist seems to have. and the skills to use it. I can think of
nowhere outside a professional shop which would have a compressor and air
lines driven tools. I remember many years ago visiting an American D I Y
Store and was astounded by the selection of replacement lawnmower engines
which were available off the shelf. I have never seen a replacement engine
in the UK.
Unless they are really keen a battery powered hand drill and a few
woodworking tools are about the usual.
Because I grew up in a timber and builders merchants I may have leanings
toward wood and it could be that in the Midlands (about the centre of
England) which used to be the manufacturing centre of the UK things are
different.
Cheers
Pat

Language is a funny thing.
What is a "power driven spanner" ?>>
Hi Eugene,
perhaps that is a poor description. I meant a device which grips a nut (as
in nut and bolt) and turns it without the application of manual strength.
Reminds me of the old joke
"I call my girl friend Spanner, because when she walks by my nuts tighten
up` Apologies to the few females on the list.
Cheers

Often used to put a tire (sorry, tyre) on, when it shouldn't. >>
Hi Russ,
The complexities of language. We would not put a tyre (ot tire) on like
that. We would would put the WHEEL on like that, and use `wheel nuts` and
the instrument you describe, rattle gun, is always used in specialist Tyre
and Exhaust outlets and on assembly lines and can be set to a pre arranged
torque. Putting the Tyre (or Tire) on the wheel (or rim) is a different
process.
I think that you generally use `wrench` when we would use `spanner`. A
device to grip a nut. A `wrench` to us is usually a longer handled tool
with a gripping device, usually adjustable, on one end.

Hi Tony,
pursuing the semantics. Is that a typo or regular spelling. We would say
`device`, although we may `devise` a way of doing something.. Incidentally
I notice that many on the list use `breakes` to slow their plane down while

OK, now I'm confused. We have:
Wrench: anything that is intended to turn a nut or bolt, which can include:
-Socket wrench: combination of a rachet handle and interchangeable
snap-on sockets, which grip the nut on all six sides (note that "Snap-On"
is also a brand name, considered by many to be the finest available)
-Open end wrench: fork ended thingy in various sizes, anywhere
from several inches to several feet long
-Box wrench: similar to the open end, but fully encircles the nut
like a socket (often in combination with an open end wrench, one on each
end, to make a "combination wrench"
-Adjustable wrench: an open end wrench with a worm screw
adjustment for different sizes (often called a "Crescent wrench" after one
of the most popular manufacturers)
-Monkey wrench: an adjustable wrench with the jaws at 90 to the
handle, usually larger than a crescent wrench, usually used for plumbing
-Pipe wrench: also for plumbing, an adjustable wrench with a
floating head and teeth to grip a smooth sided pipe
-Impact wrench and air ratchet: power driven devices that you use
with sockets
So which one is a "spanner"?
>Incidentally I notice that many on the list use `breakes` to slow their

BRAKES slow your plane down whether you're in the UK or America. BREAKS
are something that's broken (yes, a misspelling, not an "Americanism").

FWIW - I've seen a hundred sheep sharing the runway with aircraft,
gliders and their tugs, in Holland. Pilots just keep roaring out in
a jeep & scaring them away repeatedly, until they keep to 'their end'.
Labor-intensive, but it does work, even tho sheep are dumber than
cows. At least their droppings are smaller than a cow's 'slick pies'.
Wonder if cattle-prods would be an acceptable option ? Nasty thing
to do to a nice cow, but --

Pat, I stand corrected, I was wrong, and I apologise. Or is it
apologize?
Of course I meant wheel, not tyre/tire. I do know better, just
'misspoke'
Brakes is the only proper term. Some people misspell the word.
There are dozens of specialized wrenches, many quite clever, and NONE
to be confused with
"serving wenches"
BTW is a power spanner powered by mains current?
Wrenches are always bigger than spanners?

using RED loctight, and rounds them off.
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer
nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate thin walled aluminum
tubing not far from the bolt you are trying to "tap" in..
MECHANIC'S KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of
cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly
well on boxes containing seats and fabric containers.
ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning steel Pop rivets in
their holes until you die of old age, but it also works great for
drilling mounting holes in fabric just to the left of the rib you are
trying to hit.
PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads.
HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board
principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable
motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more
dismal your future becomes.
VICE-GRIPS: Also used to round off bolt heads. When nothing else is
available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to
the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various
flammable objects in your garage on fire. Also handy for igniting
the fumes inside the wing that your just painted yesterday.
WHITWORTH SOCKETS: Once used for working on older British cars and
motorcycles, they are now used mainly for impersonating that 9/16 or
1" socket you've been searching for the last 15 minutes.
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching
flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest
and flings your beer across the room, splattering it against that
freshly painted part you were drying.
WIRE WHEEL: Cleans rust off small parts and then throws them
somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also
removes fingerprint whorls and hard-earned guitar callouses in
about the time it takes you to say, "Ouc...."
E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool that snaps off in bolt
holes and is ten times harder than any known drill bit.
CRAFTSMAN 1 x 16-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A large motor mount prying tool
that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the
end without the handle.
AVIATION METAL SNIPS: See hacksaw.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the lids of $100 per gallon
aircraft paint and splash it on your shirt; can also be
used, as the name implies, to round off Phillips screw heads.
PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal 12 ft leading edge surrounding
that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to cut fuel lines 1 inch too short.
ICE SCRAPER: To scrape frost off plexiglass so you can use the big
scratches as a marker to set pitch.

I put one of these in my 220HP 4-seater experimental. I don't use it much (prime
& emergency), but it should transfer 5 gallons in 10 minutes. With no moving
parts, it should last forever.
I would probably plug it into my cigarette lighter jack when I wanted to transfer
fuel.

I do not like " In Tank " fuel pumps for this application, you are just looking
for problems mounting it in the tank with wires etc. Sounds like an inflight
emergency or fire waiting to happen.
I use the Facet pump Jim was talking about, it transfers 6 gallons in about 10
minutes, works very well, and is fool proof, and much easier to install than some
" In tank " pump.

The term 100 LOW LEAD is outright dishonest and misleading. 100LL Avgas has many

Avgas would be better named 100 LWL... 100 Loaded With Lead.

I put one of these in my 220HP 4-seater experimental. I don't use it much
(prime & emergency), but it should transfer 5 gallons in 10 minutes. With n
o
moving parts, it should last forever.
I would probably plug it into my cigarette lighter jack when I wanted to
transfer fuel.

Subject: | Monument Valley 2008 Photo Contest Winners |
Hi all from Monument Valley;
Judge Phil summed up the Contest as: This Photo Contest is unfair. It is not right
trying to pick just one of these great photos. Everyone of these photos
deserves to be #1. They really capture the fun that all of you have had.
The List of Winners and their Photos can be found at:

Mike,
You opine about something you are obviously NOT familiar with. There are literally
MILLIONS and MILLIONS and MILLIONS of in-tank fuel pumps. In fact, it
is virtually impossible to purchase a new vehicle in the United States without
an in-tank fuel pump. 99.999% of vehicles with fuel injection come with in-tank
fuel pumps. And you just about can't buy a car without fuel injection, and
ALL fuel injection cars use in-tank fuel pumps!! Why?? Because they are UNSAFE??
NO!! Because they ARE SAFE!!!
FYI, your "wires, etc." make it sound like the boogie man is going to somehow
get you. In-tank type pumps use what's known as "BRUSHLESS" motors. That means
there aren't any "sparks" or "wires, etc." to create a problem.
Brushless motors use electrical current to make the rotor rotate. Not brushes
and electrical sparking! They don't have any way on earth to create a fire hazard.
Otherwise, why would EVERY automobile manufacturer on Earth be using them???
The "wires" hook up outside the tank. There's no more likeliness of a
problem with these wires than with any other wiring in your plane.
Lastly, since Mark suggested he was planning to use this fuel transfer "in-flight",
he would want his fuel pick-up to be solidly mounted, at the bottom of
the tank, with NO chance of shifting due to turbulence. By just inserting a tube
down inside a container does not insure it is going to be sucking up fuel
correctly at the bottom of the tank. By mounting an in-tank pump PROPERLY, the
suction point of the pump is solidly fixed in one spot, at the bottom of the
tank, surrounded by a filtering screen.
Done correctly, especially during inflight situations where you can't "jiggle"
the suction tube, an in-tank pump can well be one of, if not THE most dependable
pumps available! In fact, this is EXACTLY my fuel delivery arrangement for
my GEO 1.0L fuel injected engine.
The danger is not knowing anything about the information you espouse. If you
own a vehicle, it has an in-tank fuel pump.

Subject: | Monument Valley or bust!! |
No more time to chat!! I've got to get up at 4:00am. Headed to Monument Valley.
I was planning to fly my Cessna, with a friend, but then two others guys wanted
to go, and that's too much weight for my plane, so we're
car-pooling it!
Back by late Saturday night.
