| Subject: | Re: Aileron Counter Balance Weight |
I had a customer with a plane that had been painted and then had the ailero
ns properly weighed and balanced. -The tips of both had been cut off by a
bout an inch. -Guess you could shave one side as well.=0A=0AI've also see
n some planes where the weight hangs noticeably lower on one side than the
other with the ailerons neutral. -=0A=0AI've also seen deformed wingtips
and, with the aileron neutral with respect to the wing, the wingtip was not
iceably higher on one side. -=0A=0AQuality control was not a priority.=0A
=0ABUT, all of the FAA/PMA paperwork was properly signed.=0A=0A=0A_________

know why the Tiger Aileron Counter Balance Weight has to hang out the botto
m of the wingtip? What a draggy piece of engineering. =0A=0AWas there some
design reason for that or was it just an oops? Also why 3-lbs on a 6" tube
instead of 1.5-lbs on a 12" tube?=0A=0ALooks like either of those lengths w

Ready for this guys...
Just when you think you heard everything...
You just CAN'T make this up.
Plane: Experimental
Original Engine: O-290
Last Logbook entry with original Tach: 1645.48 Hrs
The plane has ONE engine and TWO TACH's - YES, you read that correctly.
A Mechanical Tach (MT): 865 Hrs and
A Electronic Tach (ET): 714 Hrs
Why two Tach's - I have NO IDEA!!!
And neither of the Tach's match the Logbooks
Engine replaced 10/30/2010 @ 1645.48 Hrs with a O-320...
TT Hours on replaced engine: 5423.6 Hrs
T@MOH: 4098.7 Hrs
TSMOH: 1324.9 Hrs <--- At time of engine replacement ... But How the hell
does one figure the time NOW?
What a mess!
Figures don't lie - But LIARS sure as hell TRY to figure.
Gee, Barry, in my last logbook entry there was only 865 Hrs on the Tach.
How come you are showing 1600 plus hours???
Yup, he is right, but then again he is NOT the builder of the plane and he
signed off the engine swap AND his Safety Inspection.
AND.. Are you ready for this ... Sit down... There is a Rubber Stamp from
the FAA without a "N" number, Serial Number or ANY Tach Times signing off
the plane with a "Special Airworthiness Certificate".
But HEY< don't YOU forget to dot your 'i' and cross your 'T'.

I wrote a data base that allows for multiple tach entries. This was prompted
by a plane that had had 3 tachs installed in 5 yrs, 3 engines, and a lot of
transposed numbers.
