Hello Trevor,
For my 6-A I did exactly what you describe for the very same reason (ouch!).
I used an engine stand with a set of angle brackets in the form of an X that
bolted on at the four corner engine mount firewall bolt holes.
For the rear support I made a bracket that bolted onto the rear bulkhead
utilizing the existing holes in the bulkhead. I made an adjustable height
stand using thin wall steel tubing with a hole in it to accept a 3/8th inch
shaft that was welded to the rear bulkhead bracket.
The engine stand I used was one I built before I retired. It is quite a bit
taller than the store bought types I see being used by others. I will
suggest that you get a welder to extend the height of the store bought type
such that the pivot on the engine mount would be at about waist height.
Doing so will make it much easier to sit on a short stool under the fuse
when it is set in the upside down position.
I did almost all of the internal structure ( back drilling, interior floors,
fuel lines, etc.) sitting under or beside the fuse as need required
I don't have pictures to show but I could send you a few hand drawn drawings
to give a general idea of the structures required later next week when I
return from a brief travel.
I expect that someone will supply a URL or some photos etc.in the meantime.

Hi Bob,
The 295s are also available on the used and discounted (new) market - EBay
and others (ie Discount GPS .com). If you can strech it - the 296 would
provide alot of additional features, such as terrain avoidance info.

//What seems to be happening is that denials of medicals are increasingly
being challenged by the pilots in order to ensure that they meet the letter
of
the law regarding sport pilot medical self certification when they exit the
GA
system and move on.
IN this case, the author didn't say the medical was denied. He said it was
under review and seemed to indicate he didn't know why since he indicated he
had no health problems.
One sure way to sit and wait a long time in this process....is to sit and
wait for people to call
you back.
In my case, the AOPA never called back after I talked to them. But -- funny
-- the letter giving me a medical certificate came a week later.
Use all the tools at your disposal. The AOPA is certainly one.

If you have no medical problems, I don't understand why your AME deferred your
medical, you should have walked out
of the office with it.
You want to avoid a deferral if at all possible. According to my AME, a large
number of the usual FAA medical
reviewers are currently over in Iraq and that's why it's taking so long to get
anything out of Oke City. I don't
know if that's true or not, just what I was told.
I had some minor medication issues for the first time this year, and I found the
key to not getting a referral
was to coordinate with the AME ahead of time to make sure I had all the paperwork
in order before I showed up.
He gave me a list of what he wanted from my personal physician. The only glitch
was that the AME wanted some
information in the form of a letter, and my doctor had given him a list instead,
but a quick phone call to my
doctor and a FAX back to the AME solved the problem. I'm good for two years and
next time should be easier (unless
something else falls apart, gettin' old's a b**ch, ain't it?)

A few days ago my flaps quit working again.
So I opened up the motor to clean it up.
In doing so I managed to break one of the brushes (insert 4 letter word
here).
I called van's and they said they couldn't help me but gave me the
number of Usher Industries.
The fellow I talked to there said he didn't think he could get just the
brushes but he would check into it and call me back.
I haven't herd back yet.
Anybody got any ideas where I can get brushes?

Take the other brush (be careful this time!) and head to Home Depot ....
to the tools section. If they don't have the exact brush, get one a
little larger and file it to fit.

Bob:
You left some info out, but by new flyer I assume he is a private pilot and will
be flying Rental planes or His own plane?
Here is Garmins web site: http://www.garmin.com/aviation/products.html#portable
You can look at each model (current and past). Some models have been discontinued
but are available at discount on the web or eBay. Dealer prices on used equipment
is too high. eBay is a good place for a used GPS. Many people upgrade to
new color models (296/396) making the 195/196 a bargain. Even the 296 color
is often found used as people upgrade to the 396. I would not upgrade to the 396
unless you are ready to pay for the X-M radio weather service which cost $30
a month. Unless he is flying cross-country all the time I would not buy a new
pilot a 396.
First a portable GPS is almost a must have now a days. You choice of the Garmin
brand is pretty much a sure bet. The models you may consider are:
GPS III pilot (compact, discontinued)
96 (compact)
96c (color)
195 (discontinued)
295 (color discontinued)
196
296 (color)
396 (color, terrain, wx)
They are all good, money, screen size, color is most of the factor. the older GPSIII
and 195 are a little slower to refresh the screan if you zoom in or out
but this is a minor issue.
I have a Garmin 195 and love it. The are not made any more but they sell for about
$300-$350 on the used market. It is like a 196, which is a newer model, but
it is also has a B&W screen, which is orientated horizontal vs. vertical. The
older models like the 195, 196 are available on the used market as people upgrade
to the color models like the 296 and 396.
Color is nice but not needed. You can buy a used GPS for $300 to $2,500 for a new
396. They all do about the same thing. Even the older GPSIII and GPS 195 have
airspace warning and airport data (freq and runway info). How much do you love
you Son and how much money do you have : - )
Given the choice the 196 is a better choice in my opinion than the 96/c. However
the 196 is a bigger piece of equipment to haul around if he is jumping in different
planes such as in a rental situation. If he owns a plane than the bigger
screen is to me much better than the tiny 96 screen. For the price of a new
96 you can buy a used 195/196.
The other good value brand is Lowrance http://www.lowrance.com/Aviation/
You can get a map Lowrance 500 or map 1000 deeply discounted new or used (eBay)
for less the $500.

Bob,
I have to jump in with my two cents. As a 3+ year, 500 hour
pilot I can not imagine flying w/o my Garmin GPS. I started with the 295
(Color) and as soon as I saw the 296 my 295 was on ebay. The 295 was an
excellent unit but the 296 is so much faster and clearer and just a
better form factor that the difference in price was worth it (to me). I
never considered the 196 due to the B/W screen however if forced to
choose I would go with the 196 over the 295. In no case would I choose
any of the small screen units. The amount of valuable info available on
the units I mentioned and the speed at which you can move through the
screens makes them the best choice for function & safety(IMHO). So in
order of preference for me I would select:
296
196
195

Cheers to you for supporting your sons flying.

Another tool available with problem medicals can be found at
www.aviationmedicine.com.
This group of consultants specializes in re-instating and expediting medical
certification for pilots via their extensive knowledge of the required
paperwork and paperwork channels. They originally focused on airline and
corporate accounts but serve individual pilots as well. They did a terrific
job for me following surgery that might have been disqualifying without
their guidance.
Highly recommended by this satisfied client.

You can also try McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com on page 663 - just type
the page number in the search box). They have a bunch of sizes and if
you can get close you can file them down as Linn says.
