Subject: | Dipstick Access Cover Fastener |
I am trying to source a flush latch for the dipstick access cover as an
alternative to camlocs. I would like to make checking the oil as quick
and easy as it is on a 172 (ie no screwdriver needed) to encourage
regular dipstick reading. Anyone used anything other than camlocs to
fasten the access cover?

Hi Wayne,
We went with the hidden hinge and Cessna-style camloc on the N787FL. I got
the parts from this place
http://www.nonstopaviation.com/door-hidden-hinge-p-14565.html
Now, they used to have the camlock in stock too, and at a very reasonable
price (I believe I paid something like $55 for both the hinge and the latch
at the time, Cessna camlocs tend to be expensive - something like $30-35 a
piece).
Also be prepared to use some Force getting the whole set up working on the
Lightning cowling - compex shape of it doesn't really help.
But, I am happy with how the end result turned out.

Thanks for the link, I saved it. I'll hopefully start building a lightning

Subject: | Re: Another first Flight SN107 |
Nick,
don't want to stick my nose in this, but for safety, I will remind
others of my brake tire change over from 20 mph tires to better aircraft
tires needing more psi. If he is going to use the Esqual rim with the
better tires- a reminder how one of my Esqual rims blow apart and also
took out the wheel pant because of too much tire pressure. Diff. of
cast verses spun rim. Matco also has great rims.

The model is the WC51 a 5 in wheel with external calipers. The
MC4 master cylinders are the once we use. Interesting enough the Esqual
mater cylinders will provide enough pressure to hold the matco brakes
but you will have to convert the caliper for the use of the DOT fluid as
the o rings are mil506. use some 500-5 goodyears and you will be set
fine for grass operations. Remember to tell matco the axle size for the
weld-ment on the esqual. I think it is 5/8=9D but don=99t
remember.

Hello Nick,
this is Luigi from Rome , Italy .
I am the owner of an Esqual, with 50 hours.
Is my intention to change the wheels and brakes with the
one's you installed on the Lightning.
Looking on the Matco site I am unable to choose due to
the several model.
Could you please tell me the P/N of the model you find
to be ok for the Lightning ?
Will be a great favour indeed.
Do you to think the 5" better than the 6" ?
I use normally grass field.
Thank you very much for the help
Sincerely yours
Luigi Di Napoli

Dave thank-you for the info.Could you, please, list the change you made in
the whole Esqual braking system ?I found already the rims extremely expande
d due =C2-the pressure, or the tires quality or both inadeguate.I would l
ike to modify everything to have a braking system as the name suggests.The
actual tires are with the maximum speed allowed erased so I believe worth t

install a Matco caliper on the existing support.Let me know how you did.Tha

Hi Wayne,
We went with the hidden hinge and Cessna-style camloc on the N787FL. I
got the parts from this place
http://www.nonstopaviation.com/door-hidden-hinge-p-14565.html
Now, they used to have the camlock in stock too, and at a very
reasonable price (I believe I paid something like $55 for both the hinge
and the latch at the time, Cessna camlocs tend to be expensive -
something like $30-35 a piece).
Also be prepared to use some Force getting the whole set up working on
the Lightning cowling - compex shape of it doesn't really help.
But, I am happy with how the end result turned out.
