    Tigre G-IV-B Aircraft Engines FOR SALE

These were used on the Casa 1.131/ BU 131, which is also known as the Jungman and the Dornier DO25 aircraft. The engines would need to be gone through. They are not complete but should be...

    painting a C150

    Well it might, but the milling process, done at the aluminum mill, has added many more million craters. The metal prep "cleans" out the dirt in the microscopic world, and it's washed off. That is the IMPORTANT point I want to make. For a better bond consideration, then take an orbital sander...

    painting a C150

    This is good. But after the metal conditioner treatment (containing phosphoric acid) prime with epoxy (PPG DPLF). This term "Etch" the metal or apply "etching primer" is stupid. You are "Cleaning" the metal. You ALWAYS want clean metal and the metal conditioner will do it and then it's ready for...

    Round Tube Spars with leading edge sheet

    I understand the front spar and the sheeted L.E. (good engineering), but that rear spar does nothing (unless its to strengthen the aileron attachment, probably so). Furthermore, I would add a sheet metal "C-channel" main spar around the 1/4 cord. For T.E. material, a 1/2" tube would be just fine...

    1/1 prop drive

    In my case, I will have my prop made anyway. The GM 2500 front (4 x 4) hubs have 8 bolts & 4-bolt mounting flange. Do you think there's any benefit to going with the bigger 2500 hub? I think its viable. Jan

    Junkers: flattened tube ends and spanwise tubing

    Here's a better picture of the spar juncture. The J.I's fuselage was fabric covered, but the very later J.Is had the corrugated aluminum. The wing structure was a "space frame" and so the corrugation covering only added rigidity in the cord direction. Your first picture posted is the framework...

    Junkers: flattened tube ends and spanwise tubing

    No. They are riveted. All of those tube members are riveted to the junctures. The junctures are "steel" and are rolled (a complete 360 deg) & welded sheetmetal. The tubing is aluminum. Also, be careful when referencing the Junkers models. That Junkers biplane in Ottawa CA, has a military...

    Wanted Dream Classic Knockoff Plans

    O 200 connecting rods?

    Another important point is the small rod end can't be bushinged on the Chevy rod, there's no material there to support a bushing. What I do for my British engine mods, is hone the small end out to the stock pin clearance. Its steel on steel, but I haven't had any pin longevity problems yet...

    O 200 connecting rods?

    The 5.7 V8 rod is off-set ground on the big end, you don't want that one. If you want a 5.7 rod, use the I6 250 or I4 Mercruiser (Nova) engine. The I6 292 Chevy is even longer, I think its 6.0. I use the 5.7 in my British car engine, its a pound lighter. Jan

    engine management

    ??? I'm pretty sure you don't need something like that, you should ONLY tune your fuel & spark maps.......on the ground (or on the dyno runs) Jan
