old rebel upgrades

[Jones, Michael]

David, am posting this on our site too for others with old rebels


landing gear, i have die spring gear like Wayne o'shea sells, i think its
the best type for weight cost and simplicity, spring gear Murphy sells is
heavy, expensive and not very good in my opinion,

i would also suggest the Horner tips form Dave fife and leading edge cuffs
from Angus McKenzie,

as for other mods to do here is what i have so far for you, most important a
new manual !!

1- seat backs need to be braced, there are pics on web site

2- fuel tanks if plastic tanks need to be replaced with wet wing kit

3- even if using Wayne's spring gear there are parts needed to upgrade to
1650 lbs

4- brake upgrade from old gold rims to new silver rims

5- new moulded wind shield

6- trail wrap inside tail cone for tail wheel is not used and has been
replaced by several new parts

7- wing upgrade kit to 1650 lbs, a must do

8- some new control horns are available

9- lower/upper corner wraps can be upgrade, (ONTARIO MOD)

10- tail cone can be upgraded to heavier material (ONTARIO MOD)

11- supplied fuel shut off valves are to small & need to be drilled larger
or replaced

12- sheet metal below doors can be upgraded (Ontario mod)

13- fire wall needs to be stainless

14- elevators have new fix from Wayne

15- float fix mod

16- fire wall braces from Wayne

17- lower seat belt bracket mod

18- rear float fitting structural bracing Wayne

19- tail wheel replace with Scott or matco maybe

20- trim tab attach bulletin from Murphy important for safety

regards

Hi David !

You will have to change the settings in your email program to turn
HTML to "OFF" - this is a far safer way to have your email working anyway !

You don't get pretty pictures, but it can help prevent some nasty
stuff from eating your email !

This site automatically strips out HTML, so your message appears
