The crows foot wrench is the type that clicks onto a socket wrench- some might refer to them as offset end wrenches. I bought mine at Checker or Autozone in a six piece set for cheap. I am using a basic needle type sears torque wrench. These have small head on them that clears surrounding prop parts whereas my larger dial type torque wrench will not get into the hub close enough. Remember the extended effective length of the crows foot wrench on the torque wrench adds torque to the reading from the wrench. I figured it out once- I think it adds less than a pound of torque to the actual value being read.

Is there a special, expensive tool that I have to have?!

So the question is can you get the necessary clearance with the torque wrench at a 90 to the Crow's Foot. scot At 02:03 PM 3/26/2003 -0700, Ron C wrote: >--> Rocket-List message posted by: "Ron C" > >Russ- > >I used a crowfoot endwrench on a regular Sears torque wrench.

Would you like a complete list of those you (we) have already beaten or just a list of the top ten.

Cheaper and more fun than buying your way in. If you get to be an alternate, you can really get your drinking money's worth, as you won't be flying!! If you get to fly, even last place pays. Not a bad deal. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Gummo" Subject: Re: Rocket-List: Reno PRS > --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Tom Gummo" > > But John, > I have the slowest rocket. > Who can I beat? :-) > > Tom Gummo > Apple Valley, CA (APV) > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: > To: > Subject: Rocket-List: Reno PRS > > > > --> Rocket-List message posted by: Hr2pilot@aol.com > > > > time is geting close if any Rocket drivers are going to race you need to > get > > going. > > John > > > > > >
