Any chance of posting a pic of the Kevlar bottle installation? Sounds like a winner!

In my experience, with a 52, an emergency bottle leak was one of the two emergency
gear valves in the front or rear cockpit. There is a square o-ring around
the t-fitting that deteriorates over time.

Gentleman,
Please read the email I received this morning from Barbara Sherlock about
you father, Charles Sauermelch, a WWII Central Fire Control Gunner aboard a
B-29. See http://39th.org/39th/aerial/61st/crew22a.html.
She would be immensely grateful if those of you in the Philadelphia area
could fly a Missing Man for her dad when the time comes in the near future.
Thanks, Blitz

Subject: Funeral for WWII veteran
Dear Mr. Fox,
I was doing some research on the internet and came across the Bay Squadron
web page, and your contact information.
As I write you this note, my father is dying. His is still of complete
sound mind, but is ready to pass on as his body is now completely betraying
him at almost 89 years of age. My father is a WWII veteran. He was in the
Army Air Corps. If you Google Charles F. Sauermelch, it will direct you to
a web page for Crew 22, 61st Squadron, 39th Bomb Group. That's my dad! He
was a sergeant and a CFC Gunner. He loved airplanes then and still does to
this day.
When it became evident that it would soon be his time, he mentioned that
having a fly over at his burial "might be a nice way to go" (quote from
him). I realize the almost impossibility of this with the enormous cost
involved, but I thought I would check into anyway.
I know you are located in California. We are in Pennsylvania, and I was
just wondering if you have any contact information for anyone in the
Philadelphia area who does what you do out in California. I think it would
be such a great tribute to a man who did so much and asked for so little in
his lifetime. It would mean the world to my family.
Anyway, thank you for what you do to honor the veterans in your area, and I
appreciate any information that you could give me with regards to my
request.
Sincerely,
Barbara Sherlock

| Subject: | RE: leaking air bottles |
Check out the Kevlar air bottles carefully. In the aerospace industry
they are life limited, they are usually a lighter bottle (thinner wall)
with the Kevlar wrapping for strength. They are sensitive to fill rate
(temperature rise) and number of fill cycles (stretch), but they are
lighter. A 6000 lb rated bottle may never pose a problem.

Breaker spring busted, that happens quite often.
Is the rotor damaged by that broken spring?
I think that you can get complete mag set repair kits, for instance at
White Waltham Russian Enineering (ask Genna, top mechanic!).
