Otherwise it'll be at the Wright-Patterson Aero Club but not as a rental aircraft. They fly P-types exclusively. -Brian N119ST Frustrated with dial-up?

Well, I got it out. The way it's installed is sure a poor design. If done by the book, the wing needs to come off. There is ONE bolt that is in the way. I used a die grinder to trim off the corner of the bolt so I could get the bolt removed that held the gear leg in place. It's going to be interesting putting it back together. OK, on the gear, there is a 3/16 inch steel plate used to assist the springyness of the landing gear. Well, besides the gear leg being fractured, this plate is bent. Not much, but it's bent. Someone dropped this plane out of the sky from a pretty good altitude. Nothing in the log books; naturally. While I have everything apart, all of the steel parts are going to be cad plated, the axle will be anodized and chem-film plated. The steel parts will also be powder coated. I just couldn't pass on the opportunity to clean up the parts once I got them off the plane.

I'm can't seem to find anyone in Tucson that will still cad. plate.... I guess the cadmium is a big groundwater pollutant, and no-one wants the liability. I think they replaced it with nickel plating. gil in Tucson ... with Tiger N28478 finally back in Tucson from your neck of the woods (L45) At 07:15 PM 3/10/2004, you wrote: >--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com > >Remember when I said the landing gear (main gear) was fractured?

Or does that only apply to aluminum? - Geoff Hickey ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 11:39:14 PM PST US From: TeamGrumman@aol.com Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Tiger Annual --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com In a message dated 03/10/04 11:34:13 PM, ardri@comcast.net writes: > I thought you couldn't powder-coat a structural piece like that, because > of the oven temperature ruining the temper?
