I think lock washers would screw up your torque values. Pal nuts go on
after the nut is torqued to prevent it backing off. What is the problem
with using pal nuts? They are cheap and easy.

The case-to-case bolts on my A-65 are supposed to be locked with PAL nuts.
Looks like lock washers would work to me. Or hi temp lock tite??

Bert,
Lock washers will alter the torque values, as well as gouge the case. If you
use loc-tite, when it comes time for the next disassembly, it is quite
possible they will remove the studs from the case, possibly damaging the threads
in
the case. The engine was designed using pal nuts, and that's the way I went.
However, I have seen a Millennium engine on a J3 Cub, with locking nuts - the
type that has a little recessed dimple in the side - Certainly Not the type
with nyloc. The locking nuts will certainly alter the torque values also, and
I don't know how they compensated for that, other than reading the torque
wrench while turning the nut up on the threads, and adding that value to the
torque value. Call me old fasioned, but I still vote for pal nuts.
Chuck G.

I've already torqued the nuts. Do I have to torque the pal nuts, too - or
just snug them up to the nut?

Toilet paper.
Old-timers used to throw a roll out of a plane, then circle the streamer
for practice as it descends. I've never done it myself, but always wanted
to try it.

Bert,
A friend of mine that just finished up his A&P at Penn Tech in
Williamsport said the PAL nuts are not required. I have a bunch of them
so I put them on. Got a whole coffee can full. If you want some let me
know and I'll mail them to you.

You circle it to see how many times you can cut it before it hits the ground
(or you do). Cut it with the prop, not the wing. My personal best is five
cuts when thrown out at 1500'. The last cut is pretty low, though.
For best results, unroll and wad up the first 4-5 feet, which acts like a
drag chute to make the remainder unroll and stay in a straight vertical
line.

Lofting is the process where you draw the pattern to full size on the board
you will use as the rib jig.

Marine term. All boats and ships were first drawn out full size on the floor
of
the attic, or loft, of the building shed. Any discrepancies in the plans
would be
corrected and the full size parts would then be accurate. Just like when you
lay
out the full size drawings for fuse. sides, rudder, stab, etc on your
building table.
Between the devil and the deep blue sea, four sheets to the wind, road,
knots,
son of a gun, hard up, fly by night, aloof, spic and span, etc., etc. All
from sailing
and wooden boats. Hundreds more!
