Think of having a fire on engine side of FW. What would I not want to melt/burn through in the 3-4 minutes it takes to get back to firma eartha. The only down side to over firesleeving is it will collect oil over time. Therefore it should be replaced ever so often to get rid of the torch material.

I'm going by the salvage yard today and >the guys has probably 10-12 different lengths. Dana I hurried. Did not stop to eat breakfast first. Sure am hungry now. But then I am a sissy pilot. On my RV-6A and O-360A type engine I measure my dipstick housing to be 6.25 " long. The Dipstick adds about 0.75" to overall system length. From the bottom of the dipstick housing to the cowl is around 14.5". My housing is too short and I have to use a funnel to add oil. If I were to replace it, here is my reasoning: 14.5" available distance minus 0.5" measuring uncertainty minus 0.75" for the dipstick minus 1" for clearance equals 12.25" dipstick housing length. You could probably go as low as around 11" and still add oil without any funnel/oil can extension and 2" (about 10" long) and use one of those 3" On/OFF screw on extensions. Hopefully others will have time to critique my thinking.

GM Glen Matejcek ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 01:15:49 PM PST US From: "Michael" Subject: RV-List: Removing the prop (spool) --> RV-List message posted by: "Michael" Sometimes I wished I smoked. Then, when something was just beyond my present state of thinking, I could just sit back, roll a cigarette and let a solution appear out of the smoke. But I don't smoke. SO: a question to the list: removing the prop. Actually just the spool from the flange as the prop can stay attached (it's alternator belt changing time). The spool is pretty well wedged onto the crankshaft prop flange. I can think of ways to get it off but they all sound scary, including using the flange bolts with a brass rod between them and the ends of the prop bolts, and pushing the spool off as the bolts are inched out, going round and round. Sounds like it might put too much stress on the prop flange "nuts". Any ideas?

I expect to use the Odyssey 680 and I want to reinforce the floor where the battery will be while the canoe is easily accessible.

I said the hell = with it, Im buying a tri gear. I have friends who destroyed a tail = dragger trying to learn. I have gotten Tweetybird down in swinging 90 = deg x-wind gusting from 22 to 30k. At the time I had about 10 hrs in = her, Wind had come up out of nowere. I would have nerver tried the = stupid across the runway landing that was resently bragged about. Its = got to be a load of crapp! I will admitt, I was scarred shitless, but = did suck up a lot of seat. I pranged her on I admit, lucky the prop = didnt dig in. I got my Pvt in 66 in Cherokee 140 in OKC Will Rogers, so = knew about wind at the time. I stayed out for 35 yrs, so was sorta = green, but the old training kicked in. Im sure many of you can relate. = Charlie Heatho.
