Jack; you're right... that engine sure does look nice!
I see you have one of those cheaters on it though
(electric starter).
And of course you couldn't help but throw in an offhand
comment about crank snappin' ;o)
The rest of the airplane work is looking very nice as well.

I used the 1.8 oz stuff from Wicks, because it was wide enough to do
the wing. I believe I ordered 40 yards, and have 3 or 4 yards left over
for my next project.

That dimension is not critical, but referencing a recent post, make
sure the holes aren't too far from the edge of the horn, or your
turnbuckles may bind.

When I built my balloon 16 years ago, my engine (the burner) did not have a data
plate, but it did have a make, model number, and a serial number, which I had
assigned to it. The certification for it was done at the FSDO office in Oklahoma
City. If the engine had no serial number on it, it would definitely need
one, I would think. I would think a data plate could be made, if required, with
the builder name, a model number, and a serial number.
My 2 cents worth.

| Subject: | Repairing wood screw holes |
My 28 year old, 600 hour plane has a few screw holes that are wearing
out. I have a sheetmetal cover over the nose tank, screwed to the
longerons on each side with 3/8" long screws. Despite my best efforts
to barely torque these screws, some of them have become quite loose, and
on my last flight I actually lost a screw. So, it is time to fix them.
What is the best technique here?
Gluing a snug-fitting dowel rod into the hole, then cutting and sanding
it flush seems like it would work. Should I use T-88, or would Type II
PVA (wood glue) be good? Type II would be easier but if T-88 is better
that is what I want. I'd like the repairs to last another 30 years (or
longer).
It seems to me that it would be best not to drill out the holes, but
instead to use a snug wood dowel and leaving any remaining fibers inside
the hole. Am I wrong?
Is there any reason I shouldn't use a hardwood dowel (like oak)? It
seems like this would give more durable, longer lasting screw
holes/threads.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

If the original threads are still present in the holes, I would not plug and redrill
the holes. The dowels are made with the grain running in the long direction,
and fasteners don't hold well when screwed into end grain. I would just
reinforce the existing threaded holes with thin cyanoacrylate glue. Just make
sure to let it fully cure before putting the screws back in or else you might
find it very difficult to remove them the next time they need to come out.
