| Subject: | Re: How difficult is it to remove canopy? |
Mike,
Just to solidify that advice, remove the sliders and tape up the fixed pieces really
well. Use a detail gun and take your time.
If you are painting the glare shields I'd recommend Pacific Coast Laboratories
Flat Black. It is what we use on all of your projects and is fantastic paint.
It is a bit more expensive but shoots real nicely, flows well, and is a much
better finish than anything else we've tried. It's used on classic car restorations.
Good luck!
Barry

Here are some pics of the assembly I had made. It bolts up underneath
the spring just like the original, using the the original holes,
etc... I had a bunch made. I'm not sure if the guy has any left
over. I could check if you're interested. I don't recall the cost
exactly, but I know they weren't cheap.

Hi Wesley,
thanks for the info and photos, this is very helpful. If there are any
leftovers from the original run, I would be very interested in purchasing
one.
Thanks,
Anthony.

Thanks Scott,
that is exactly what I am hoping to use on my airplane. Photos would be a
great help.
Regards,
Anthony.

Wesley,
Since you had this made, any chance you have some drawings for the piece?

I'll find out tomorrow what/if there are any more available. The
angle is set so that it is correct if you have gear extenders
installed (I did with Clevelands). If you don't have the extenders,
it's possible I could sell you the one that I have here. It has the
original angle (copied from the original tailwheel). I don't have the
model we did. It was done at the machinists facility. If he doesn't
have any more, I can create a new model from the one I have here.
These planes are a little tough for parts. I had to have aileron
bushings made as well. The availability wasn't good enough. If you
need some of those... I have extra sets. The easiest way to do a
quick check is to just to try and move your aileron at the tip
vertically. If you feel any play at all, chances are that they need
replacing.

Thanks Wes,
the previous owner installed Grove 500x5 wheels and tires. I don't think I
have gear extenders, from what I can tell the axles are bolted directly to
the base of the legs. What do the extenders look like, and what is their
purpose? I will check my ailerons as you suggested and let you know if I
need the bushings.
Regards,
Anthony.
