Hi Ferg
I ordered 5 feet first time around and although that was enough for 15
aircraft it was soon used up.
To make things easier for customers I have decided to buy the following to
make up the kit:
4" steel tube
2 AN4 sized stiff nuts (I forget the MS number)
4 AN4 sized thin washers
2 grease nipples.
All but the grease nipples are obtained from Wicks (or A/C Spruce). My local
car accessory shop supply the grease nipples. Just choose a size with a
common thread so a tap can easily be obtained.
Reference membership. I feel it is pretty poor if builders of $50,000
aircraft feel they cannot afford the membership of the club. The fact that
quite a lot of the articles are European orientated says more about the lack
of non European input. Anyway the club supports the owners in many ways
apart from the magazine and these mods are a typical example. The committee
feels that it is reasonable to limit these mods to members only so we would
appreciate it if you did the same.
Regards
Nigel
PS. Are you coming over to the UK this summer? It would be nice to meet up
again.
