Yep, as far as I'm concerned. Don't think will make the 18th, as I won't be
leaving Nimpo until the morning of the 16th. Will meet up with Al P. that
evening or the next day, depending on the weather, and head east.

How about Bob P. and the Ramble? You guys still heading out west? Bruce G.
and I, and whoever else is along, want to spend the week after Arlington
flying around BC and to Nimpo Lake. There are a lot of great places here to
visit both on floats and wheels and would be happy to show people around.

Great! Is the "big trip" still going ahead as expected with a July ~18th

Just got back again from my hangar, and I think the job is finished.

Managed

Had

to get all the air out again and tested it best I can, but it looks good.

It was brutal, though, and sure don't want to have to do that again.

Walter,

It's the front end cap that now have two small o rings (like the
piston) instead of one... if you buy the whole cap new. This is where
my cyl.

have

leaked as the rod moved in and out. I suspect this is why they changed

the

design. I reused the rear end cap o rings because I didn't have

replacements

but they worked fine with no leaks.

I suspect it might have been easier to just remove the whole wheel to

get

to

the cyl. and check the bearings/brakes and everything else, for piece

of

mind, while you have it apart.

I suggest checking the axles for rotation in the c clamp with a mark.

Both

my axles where rotating even with the bolts/nuts over torqued. I had to

sand

down the c clamp on a disc sander so it would grab the axle correctly.

OK, keep us informed as we get closer. It would be good if you could make
it a few days earlier to spend some time here visiting some spots. Weren't
you going to get your amphibs fitted this year?

Hi Walter !

A few hangups at the moment, but the plan is to leave here July 7th,
arrive Chilliwack about July 15th, then head back here for July 21st,
to get to Oshkosh for the 22nd or 23rd ...

Will keep everyone updated as soon as we know for sure ... :-) :-)
Looks like that schedule will work well for you to fly back with us.
