Re: [flybabylist] O-235/second impulse magdoes this help ? Doug Reeve ... From: Renate Reeve To: Interior Construction Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 12:08 PM ...
Our Tuesday chats seem to be going well, the only annoyance is being bounced out of the room from time to time, which erases the previous conversations when...
Hi Doug I'm going to guess that you either have an O-235-L2C or an O-235-C series. Both engines, while similar in designation, are significantly different. The...
Hi Doug, I just happened to pick up a message at the Yahoo groups site about your engine. According to Renate, it looks like your engine is an O-235-C1B as...
To those who replied -Thank you- Our motor is fitted with one impulse coupling on the let mag- We will try to source all the bits needed for this mod-Its not...
The stacks are stainless as they are not magnetic. I think a rear expansion joint is in order. After your note Harry I looked carefully at the flanges and...
Chat today at 02:00h UTC/GMT/ZULU http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html see you all there! Drew [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Start your engine with only the mag on which has an impulse coupling. Not both mags. This should stop the kick back and save wear and tear on the starter. A...
We hand prop our O235-we didn't want the added weight of the starter Alternator bat, etc. If we try to start it on the left mag only the motor is very...
Rumor has it that Renate Reeve is going to fly her Fly Baby nonstop to Oshkosh this year :-) http://www.bowersflybaby.com/stories/longrange.jpg Ron Wanttaja...
HA HA Ron- Renate and I have been building and retoring planesfor a long time- We would like to go to Oshkosh one day-I hear its like Mecca for pilots-A South...
Bob, Sounds like an easy repair. Don't remove the flanges before the welder can build a jig to orient the flange on the stack. I just did this last month ...
Hello fellow pilots! I'm searching Carrie Green (Boe) Have lost contact and have search the net without any luck. She and her family lives, or lived a few ...
I don't currently have my Aircraft Spruce catalogue handy (loaned it to another homebuilder) but don't they offer stainless Continental exhaust flange blanks,...
Harry, I'm glad to hear that the expansion joints are not neccesary. The SS flanges and stub pipes are available. The stubs are expensive but due to the...
Since my previous post the guys on the Piper Cub Builders list filled me in on Cub tanks. Thought I would pass it on. The early Cub tanks were steel...
The fuel tank I am now installing is a replacement cub tank made by Aero-fabricators from Wag-aero. It's made of aluminum and has two outlets on the bottom...
I am very green to airplanes so please be aware that I have no real experience. Your tank will be fine I'm sure. This info was passed on particularly for...
I see plans up for sale from time to time on ebay. In fact I saw a set for sale just about a week ago there. If you built a fly baby from a set of these plans...
From what I have been able to discern, the short answer is no - the serial number has no effect. Here is why. When you build the aircraft, you are considered...
... Richard summed up the legal situation nicely...as the "manufacturer" you can assign any serial number you want to the airplane you build. The FAA don't...
Any more news? Interested in performance specs. What are the weight and stress differences between the wood and steel fuselages? I don't think I can afford...
Thanks Ron. I appreciate the advice. I'll check the library too. If you wrote a fly baby book, I'd buy it. :-) Next question. I know that there are a lot of...
I just joined your group,and Iam considering building a FLY BABY.I am new to this and would like to see someone elses project and/or a complete airplane.I live...
... To be licensed as a homebuilt, the owner has to prove that 51% of the aircraft was built for "education or recreation." This does *not* mean that 51% of...
