| Subject: | Re: how do you back up an A model RV? |
The one I was referring to did not remove his stops (and mine have not been
removed either) - he was able to push his plane in such a way as to steer
the nosewheel.
It wasn't me....I take my towbar with me in case I have to push mine
backwards.....I haven't learned the trick yet....

The only 'trick' is to push the nose in the direction that the wheel
pant is pointing. If the wheel pant isn't pointing in the right
direction, move the nose left/right until it is ..... then push in the
direction that the wheel pant is pointing. Pushing in any other
direction will make the nose gear pivot ..... making you start all over.

| Subject: | oiling the air filter? |
I was just about to mount my FAB for what I hope is the last time, and
noticed on the air filter it says "oil before using". What does this mean?
Am I supposed to actually soak the filter with oil? What kind of oil?
Reminds me of my old, old VW beetle that used a straw-like material soaked
with oil to filter the air.

From Aircraft Spruce
K&N RECHARGER FILTER
SERVICE KIT
P/N 08-00722 *$10.25*
<http://www.aircraftspruce.com/neworderform.php?cmd=add&p=08-00722&q=1>
<http://www.aircraftspruce.com/wishlist.php?action=add&p=08-00722&q=1>
K&N FilterChargers use a specially formulated oil to attract and
suspend dirt to the cotton-gauze filtration surface. Over time, dirt
accumulates on the filter and airflow can be reduced. This is where the
K&N ReCharger Filter Care Service Kit comes to the rescue. Included are
a cleaning solution and dirt-attracting oil, both of which are
formulated specifically for K&N's cotton-gauze filter media.

Also, do not "soak" the filter or you will have oil dripping out it into your bottom
cowl for weeks. Apply the oil sparingly to all the folds and let it penetrate
for awhile, then check for bare spots and go over them again. You can get
the K&N oil in a spray can at most automotive supply stores and that makes it
much easier to coat the element thoroughly without over doing it. Just a tip
learned the hard way.

Check out the K&N website for info on how to oil and also clean the
filter. Most Auto parts houses will have the oil from K&N for a much
better price than /Van=99s .
