      Great video.  Note sure how many of you picked up on this,  He was flying so high
      that you could see the curvature of the earth.  It was most apparent with the
      rear facing camera.  I wonder if they got nose bleeds?

      Gents,
      To test run my A75, I need to temporarily plug the oil temp sensor well.  What
      size plug and thread count will I need to source?  I assume  it will be a machine
      thread plug, not NPT.
      Thanks,
      
      Greg Bacon

      Greg,
      
      The best thing to do is to ask around for an old Temp gauge with a capillary tube
      and use it.  Someone will probably just give you one.  Automotive or aircraft
      will work.  The capillary tube is the gasket that seals it and keep it from
      leaking.  That is your best bet.  It doesn't need to work. In fact you can cut
      the gauge off and just use the tube with the nut. 
      
      Good luck.

      Been getting back into making some progress lately... thought I'd share how my
      instrument panels were fabricated.  If anyone is interested in similar work, shoot
      me a note.

      Impressive, Mark! That's a little more exact than my method of turning out
      the lights, throwing a dart, and carving out the holes with my pocket
      knife...

      "Oil Temperature Measurement: A standard 5/8-18 NF-3 S.A.E. thread
      connection is provided at the end of the oil screen in the rear cover for
      measurement of oil temperature."
      
      If you can't find a plug locally, Continental part # is 24142, and it takes
      an AN900-10 gasket.

      I did mine just like that, except with a broken piece of hacksaw blade
      clamped in my visegrips. I did take 7 minutes.
      
      Neat video.

      ...and isn't a standard spark plug copper gasket the same as an AN900-10?

      I remember when plotters were new in the engineering world (at least, in my lower-tier
      level of it).  We used to stand and watch the plotter draw each line and
      make each pass.  Kinda the same deal watching the instrument panel video ;o)
      
      The aluminum instrument panel on my little Flying Squirrel was cut with a waterjet.
      I provided a CAD plan and bingo.  Perfect fit, nice clean lines.  Better
      than a broken hacksaw blade, but "WWBS?"  (What would Bernard say?)

      Don't believe so: spark plug gaskets are usually solid copper....AN900
      gaskets are copper-asbestos filled crush gaskets

      Bernard would say, "I wish we had access to such nifty tools!"  
      
      I may not win any spirit awards, but I am doing my best work and learning a ton
      along the way.  My hands work for my own therapy... I think Bernard would just
      be pleased at the fact I chose his design.  I know you were just poking fun
      Oscar... but in case anyone was really wondering what Bernard might say, well...
      those aare my thoughts.   :D
