Yes... you are correct...1613's up there. .not 1619's! I'm allowed one slip up a week, based on my salary! Was thinking "gusset plates" needed the longer one, but the top plates are thinner than the lower ones where 1619's are used.

It's a typo.... as there are NO 1/4" rivets in a Rebel.. unless you screwed up and make that happen... :shh:

It should read 3/16 x 1/4" rivet.... or to be real easy it should read RV1613 ! :thumbup:

Yes Ken... why I'm still a Dinosaur and flying behind WWII technology! I'm only considering it because I have what appears to be a cold start issue... which I suspect is a failed impulse coupling as I'm not hearing a loud click (although I am starting to go deaf!). Other than that she started fine a...

As I slowly work my way towards the inevitable here....

What spark plugs are you guys running with your P mags?

You know SJ gives out hats for that eh Craig ??!!! 8) I came close once... but thankfully was on skis. Was just stopping a slide when the skis decided they were done sliding but the airplane wasn't. Tail went up as high as it could and the thing that saved me was the rear ski check cables stopped it...

There seemed to be a lot of issues in the early days of pitch variance Walter. I had the 74/44 here from an aircraft buy that came off a 160 x H2AD. Mark Morin ordered a prop for his 150 (your old one) O-320 and they sold him a 74/46. We were left scratching our heads, so we tried both on his at the...

How much HP do you have Karl.... I'm running a 74/44 Prince that was built for a 160 and I can't fully spin it up with my 150HP Lycoming.

Other issue for me... it might be my left impulse mag that's messed up... so I'd still be overhauling it and an electronic for the right if I go ahead.

Sorry Jerry.. coming in from the shop on 2 hour cycles, checking email waiting for Doctor replies, and thought I had better point out a safety concern / issue. I won't bother next time..

Thanks guys.. .keep'm coming so that I have lots to read.. :thumbup:

Sorry Neil, but the gascolator isn't there to be a filter. It's to catch any water in the fuel or larger debris instead of the noise maker going quiet! Absolutely necessary and mandatory on this side of the 49th.

For those using them... what are your thoughts for and against. E-Mag P model.. running a single + old mag? Running dual P mags? They don't suggest one only... as you don't want the old one and the auto timing curve Pmag firing at different times. LSE and it's more complicated system to install. Sin...

Just looked at the Pmags :shock: ... almost 4 grand to do both sides, by the time you buy 8 plugs and a mag gear for the left side ... as they don't recommend only running electronic on one side like was first done when they came out. Think I'll go check the timing on my mags to see if I can clean u...

I have on memorable flight in mine, back when I had the 100HP x O-235 still in it. Father-in-law and I on our way to go pick up his new airplane in Lucan. We dropped into CYEE.. filled my tanks with fuel and were on our way. I thought to myself on take off that this was taking a little longer than u...

Does that one have the tiny little toggle switch to flip up / down on two saved channels? Try snapping it back and forth quickly, if so... and see if it clears up. The older ICOM had issues like this and a spray of contact cleaner through the toggle switch arm oval cleaned it up.
