A friend of mine had his CJ stripped with soda and all the areas between the
structure are now dished inward. I don't want to do anything like that.
Also the bags of soda said not for aircraft use. ( contains salt)-----

Dan,
I removed all the radios, switches, control boxes, inverters, hdg and att
gyros, and associated wiring harness. I then had to add some ballast back in to
get the cg right. Now I am working on new panels so I don't have a bunch of
cover plates all over the place. So far, the box of "avionics" that I took out
weighs about 100 lbs. and the old wire harness is about 20 lbs. I have put
about 50 lbs. back on the radio rack, and the new radios, a Garmin 250xl
nav-com and a PS Engineering PM1200 intercom weigh about 6 lbs. So yes, you can
save some weight. You might be able to get away with less ballast if you put it
further back. My airplane would be in cg with 18 lbs. on the tail post
instead of the 50 lbs. on the old radio rack. I just was worried about the polar
inertia with a moment arm that long. I also am going to get the B&C alternator
which is going to save another 25 lbs. or so. Good news there is that the
alternator weight comes off the front end where you really need to lose the
weight. Would I do it again? Yes, but I should have waited until now to do it
because I missed the last good flying days for a long time here in Ohio.

Fifty years in this business, have NEVER heard a negative comment about
Marvel Mystery Oil, and many of the "experts" use it religiously. My
"procedure" is a quart into the engine oil about an hour before oil
change. Have never had a sticking valve or flat lifter since starting
to do this.

Check out http://www.wunderground.com/ for a free site that gives the
best comprehensive weather that I know of.
My wife is on our boat on the west coast of Florida right now, trying to
get to Mobile, Ala, and I have been watching everything closely using
this site. It gives a better aviation picture than anything else I have
found.

For those of you with Treo 600 phones or Nokias with web browsers try
http://gusfraser.com/cgi-bin/wtr This is a link that I set up for myself to
use when on the road. It defaults to NJ but covers all states. You can even
get a weather map below 5000 ft while in the air.

I would have to agree. We had about a quart of oil leaking out the stacks
after several days of setting. One of the gentlemen we work with used to be
a design Engineer for John Deer. He looked at the plane and told us to cut
the oil 25% with MMO and fly it for 15 minutes, drain the oil and refill as
normal. We don't have the problem anymore. We have two DC3's on the field.
They use MMO by the barrel.
