'I found, in my collection of PT memorabelia, wing drawings from U.S. Army
tech order 01-115GA-3 dated 6-43. I remembered that someone was asking for
info so I made copies of about 20 pages that I will send to Mike Kelly of
Coldwater, MI. He can forward them if I have chosen the wrong recipient ...

'Hi rottenchild38 I also have a 38 f-24, with a ranger engine, that makes
terrible static that no one around here seems able to fix. Is your F-24 a
short nosed plane. Mine is and I understand that there are not many of the
short nosed ones around.
I have decided to take off the generator and ...

'I flew my 38 F-24 after a very thorough annual and when I was winching it
into the hangar, I saw that the hubcap and snap ring on the pilot side main
wheel was missing. The A&P said that he remembers installing it. We
looked up and down the runway area and did not find them.
I neglected to ...

'Dave I made a mistake by calling my 39 F-24 a short nosed one. It is not.

'Hi David I am rebuilding a 1939 F-24 short nose that has a 225 hp Jacobs
that was installed many years ago. I am not ready to do weight and balance
so I cannot offer any thoughts on the subject. This plane probably has not
flown in over 20 years and it will be over a year before I get it ready ...

'Hi James Thank you for the reply to my request. It sounds like the
valves that you have will fit the 1939 F-24W that I am rebuilding. It has a
225 hp Jacobs on it. The wings and surfaces are covered and painted. I
have to paint the fuselage and landing gear. I am afraid to tackle the
panel and ...

'The fuel valve on my F-24K has siezed up and we cannot find a replacement.
It is mounted in the center of the instrument panel. It is 3 position:

engineering data, but I guess I'm not ...

'It suddenly dawned on me that when I go to Scarborough, tomorrow, that there
might someone in that vicinity that has a Fairchild F-24 or UC 61.
I plan to be there for about a week but will not have access to a
computer after 6pm (UK time) on 9/11/03 so I will miss any replies sent
after that ...
