Paul, When looking for seals for N55XS, I took the originals to a local Car Quest and we started going through the book. After opening a few boxes, we found one that fit. These were for the tri-gear.
I've got it. Also check in the "What our members are building" section for a peek at Baby Blue... Jeff - Baby Blue 186 hours and the wife wants to build yet another airplane... :)
Coordinator of Navaid Devices Erich, I have an EZ Pilot in Baby Blue, and am extremely pleased with it. It tracks true and is very stable, even in severe turbulence. Installation is quick and simple
Bob, I had problems getting my calls to go through, over the past few days. Not a Euproa thing, but apparantly communications problems between our respective countries. I sent John Wheeler an email,
Very simillar to my tests. When filling the tank for the first time, I carefully leveled the A/C and measured the amount of fuel it took to fill the reserve side. It came to 2.6 US gal. I actually wa

Graham, With 200 hours on my 912S, I've had zero engine problems. It starts every time and delivers a fuel burn of just under 4.5 gph at 5000 rpm and 27.5 map. Hopefully I'll not experience any of th
Gilles may be right on the money, here. If the breather is restricted, oil will pass by the seals, new or not. That would be my first place to look... Jeff - Baby Blue 200 hours and just finished mod
My own experience is much like Jeff's. I Used 1.5" metal filters, from the auto parts store for first flight, and pitched them at one hour. Replaced them with same type and pitched them at 25 hours,
Jeff, Exactly the same problem, here. Drove a large socket into the hole to expand the crushed glass, then added one layer of bid to the outside. After that cured, I added three layers of bid to the
Al, The McCreary tubes tend to leak down, fairly often. Mine did, anyway. I opted for the Michelin Air Stops when I replaced my worn out McCrearys at only 150 hours. Replaced the tires with 6 ply Mic
Ron, Sorry for the late reply. I laid up a couple of layers of BID on the fuse seams and one layer on the windscreens. Did the same on the wing closures. Haven't had any problems at over 200 hours an
Al, not likely that the CM is set back, as it must be in contact with the firewall. More likely, the flap pins are positioned improperly. The only way I can see to remedy the problem would be to relo
Jeff, You and I seem to have similar situations, though under slightly different circumstances. I used to smell fuel, on occasion, when the engine was still breaking in. CHT was running at 275 and I
