    My guess is that it is indeed a brake pedal, actuated by a cable, hardly visible but attached to the other side, which passes thru the firewall to the pilot.

    Just saw a neat little seat support in the Denver terminal. Not sure how affective, but figured I'de pass it on. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=408929#408929 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/20130921_051820_119.jpg

    Subject: question for Oscar
    Mikee- Yes=2C 41CC was constructed by Corky Corbett. It is an Air Camper named "S cout" and not a Sky Scout named "Scout" =3Bo) These are confusing times=3B get used to it! The airplane is sitting comfortably in my hangar and I just got (another) b ox of stuff from Aircraft Spruce so I can keep making upgrades and tweaks t o it as I reassemble it after the move from Texas... which was almost a yea r ago! In the box this time are a new Aero Trainer tire and tube to replac e the pilot's side rubber=2C which is almost down to no tread on it. I'll take a tip from someone else on this list and clean & store the worn one as a spare this time instead of taking it to the tire place for recycling. Also in the box is a new battery for my Narco ELT=2C which isn't really my ELT since a very generous member of this list sent me a replacement for my old one... which died of terminal corrosion from a leaking battery. I'll t ake protective measures this time. I need to clean up a little bit of corr osion on the aluminum ground plane that the ELT and my COM antenna are moun ted on behind the pilot's seat in the aft fuselage=2C since the white stuff from the battery got on it a little bit too. Let's see: also in the box is a new fuel shutoff valve and some fittings to go with it. I managed to strip the threads on the stem of my old valve by trying to snug it "just a tad more" (famous last words)=2C and the brass t hreads just shrugged and said "OK=2C you're the boss" and stripped. I'm re working the geometry of my fuel shutoff valve=2C actuator=2C and feed line to the gascolator to make the fuel flow path more direct and without a slig ht trap that the old setup had. It's tricky working up under the front coc kpit and fuel tank=2C so I'm trying to get everything fitted and ready befo re I accordion myself up to get under there. Last time I did it=2C I thoug ht I might never get back out and I'd have to gnaw a hole out the side of t he fuselage to extricate myself. More parts in the box: new AN bolts to replace all of the existing ones tha t mount the wing attach fittings and struts to the tabs and brackets (those have been removed and reinserted lots of times=2C and most of them were no t exactly the correct grip length)=3B new SS screws to attach the new cente rsection flop hinge. And the list goes on... I noticed a slight cock in th e tailwheel so I suspect that I've slightly twisted the tailwheel spring le aves in a crosswind landing or something. I'll have to pull the tailwheel off and see if I can straighten the springs with a vise and big wrench. Th e tailwheel is wearing ever so slightly uneven and that's no good. Other stuff in the box: Poly-Tak so I can take care of a couple of small fa bric patches=2C followed by painting those patches and a few other little p laces on the fuselage fabric here and there. I completely rebuilt the plywood bulkhead at the front of the front seat=2C went through all the cabane and wing brace cables and control cables to re place clevis pins that were too long... I want them to all be the correct l ength with just the required minimum washers. I redid every one of the cle vis cotter pins on the airplane the "approved" way=2C with nice trim tails. I cleaned up and 'served' some control and brace cable ends that were a l ittle bit too long and were frayed enough to snag a cleaning cloth every ti me I wiped things down. I prepped and painted the new cooling eyebrows for the engine the other day and pffffttt... what a mess. Fisheye. Must have been some oil or silicon e residue on there. So now I've got to strip them=2C prep and prime=2C and try it again- then I'll be pretty much done with firewall forward except f or re-torqueing and safetying the prop bolts. What else ya wanna know? When's it gonna fly? Tuesday! I'm just not sayi ng WHICH Tuesday. Once it's airworthy and complete to my satisfaction=2C I 'll fuel it up and fly the pattern a bit to make sure it's rigged properly and feeling good=2C then I'll update the logs and take the paperwork and fe rry it over to Beagle Sky Ranch Airpark=2C where my A&P Steve Pankonin will pull the annual condition inspection on it. Beagle Sky is a fun little di rt strip=2C one-way=2C with a VERY pronounced hill climb at the far end. Al ways folks sitting out in lawn chairs ready to judge your landings =3Bo) Oscar Zuniga Medford=2C OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power

    Jack, If that is the primer it could be the builder installed that way for hand propping. I saw Peter Wright's Pietenpol in the U.K., and he had a primer set up in a similar way for that reason. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=408968#408968

    Subject: Re: Cont mount
    From: "taildrags" <taildrags@hotmail.com>
    One more data point for you: the mount that is on my Air Camper, "Scout". I have an A75 but it's pretty much identical in weight to the A65. The attached picture doesn't show this clearly, but the nose of the ruler is right at the plane where the engine mount meets the rear of the engine. As you can see, my mount is about 14-1/2" long (14" from center of engine mount bolts). My airplane balances nicely with the cabanes swept back; I believe it's 4" of aft tilt. Empty weight is 636 lbs., with 307 on the left main, 304 on the right main, and 25 on the tailwheel (all in the level attitude). -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC &quot;Scout&quot; A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=408969#408969 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/a75_mount_128.jpg
