If you are confident the wood is sound I wouldn't worry too much about it. If
you don't like the stain and want to get rid of it you can get a two part wood
bleach by Kleen Strip that will remove the rust stains and make the wood look
new again. I've used it on spruce and it works wonders. Just be sure to use
rubber gloves as it your skin too! :-/

Oscar,
I can't believe that picture was taken eight years ago! I've since added a fourth
kid to the fleet. My daughter in the front seat is now nearly 5' 10" tall.
The others are on their way to that too. I've been very blessed to be able
to do this hobby while raising my family. They've been involved all along the
way.

If the structure is sound, just leave it alone. The nails and stain will not hurt
anything. Adding compounds to remove stain can damage the wood fibers.
I think the staining with some varnish applied over them will give it an antique
look. You can always paint. Move forward, not backwards ;)

William, your dog looks suspiciously like my dog, Pippa. She is half Bijon
and half Maltese. They call it a new breed called Maltachon.
Incidentally, I have a Corvair type question for you. If OK I will ask it
here. I put a 5th bearing on my engine but had already mounted the rear
section. I then put on a high volume oil pump. In one of your posts you
mentioned that with the larger pump you need to drill a larger hole
somewhere in the rear section which I can't do without disassembling the
engine. Should I use the high volume pump without the larger hole or
revert to the standard pump? Chuck

Thanks all. I was of the same mind--I didn't think it was a big deal; but, as always
its good to voice your questions with experience base.
Thanks,

HOLY COW! I just returned from Lowe's. I bought one thin piece of crappy
B/C plywood to make shelved in my lockers.
A thin, Just under 1/4 piece was $15. The only thing cheaper was chipboard.
1/2 inch was $25 and up!
I am becoming a crabby old man, complaining about the cost of things!

| Subject: | a day at the hangar |
So there were no more excuses left today. I finished installing the center
section flop with the new hinge=2C then installed the new pilot's windscree
n=2C serviced the air filter- and there was nothing left to do. Dragged Sc
out from my hangar to the self-service pumps (which seemed like it must hav
e been 20 miles=2C uphill)=2C put 10 gallons in the tank=2C and towed the a
irplane back to the hangar. The tailwheel dolly makes it about as easy as
it can be=2C but it was a good workout anyway.
Tailwheel tied down=2C stick tied back=2C sumped the gascolator- and there
were just no more delay tactics left to try. Mags off=2C pulled it through
8 blades with the throttle cracked=2C then made the mags hot and took off
my outer shirt since I expected to get a good workout. The engine surprise
d me by lighting off on the third pull! Oil pressure came right up and eve
rything looked good=2C so I put on my jacket and settled into the cockpit t
o give the oil a good warmup so I could change it after a year and a half o
f sitting.
The ground shook as the thunder of the mighty A75 let the whole world hear
its mighty roaring echoes down the row of hangars. Got the engine good and
warm (oil temp about 170-175F)=2C which took about 15 minutes at throttle
settings from 1500 on up to full static RPM=2C and during that time I check
ed mag drops=2C carb heat=2C and just listened to the engine and felt it ru
n. It's wanting me to keep carb heat on all the time and it actually gives
an RPM increase=2C not decrease=2C and smoother running with it on. Mag d
rop was rough at lower RPM but cleared up as I kept inching the power up an
d up and letting the engine warm up. By the time I was ready to shut down
=2C it still didn't like higher power settings without carb heat but it wou
ld run at 1500 as smooth as silk with the tach needle frozen in place and n
o carb heat. It also idled just fine=2C on down to about 800 RPM=2C no car
b heat. I'll have to figure that out.
Drained and changed the oil=2C noticed that my front main oil seal is still
seeping enough to make me want to go ahead and change the seal=2C and then
I put the airplane away. Next time out of the hangar=2C which could be to
morrow=2C we're going flying.
