' I've not flown a Aeromatic on a Fairchild 24, but have flown one on a Cessna C-165 Airmaster, and have also done a bit of experimentation with an Aeromatic on my 165 powered Ryan SC-W.
On the Airmaster, the Aeromatic is a great propeller for performance as compared to a wood prop or fixed pitch ...

'Hello everybody,
I'm looking for copies of approved Form 337s for installing a Jasco 50A alternator on a Warner 165, to use as substantiating data for an installation on my Warner 165 powered Ryan SC-W. If you have an approved Form 337 for a Jasco on your Warner 165-powered Fairchild 24 and are ...

'The PT center section is a challenge!
The past several years I've been working on a one-piece wing for a 1929 St. Louis Cardinal, which has 38' spars, 1.5" thick and 7" wide, with full routing. The factory spliced to make up the length, I laminated them in two plies as well to get thickness.
One ...

'Grain density is only one of many factors although obviously important as Jamie points out. People should consult ANC-19 for guidance on grading.
I have more trouble finding suitable edge grained, non-spiraled, and limited knot hole material for large pieces. This is where splicing & laminating ...

'Depending on how big a spar you need, I suggest lamination as the way to make up larger sized pieces. It is more work but results in a superior product.
For large material I've had to buy out of private stashes. Wicks & Spruce have set up exclusivity agreements that have locked out private buyers ...

'Yep, counterclockwise facing the engine, it is a standard right hand thread. Get the largest diameter steel rod that will fit into the nut holes, which I can't remember off the top of my head, probably 7/8" ? Smaller rods will bend if a 20-spline nut has been gorilla'ed on.
I use a ladder with a ...

'I use the Poly Fiber process, but we were talking about metal coatings in the powder vs. paint discussion, not fabric topcoat.
The Poly Fiber STC doesn't require a particular metal treatment the last time I looked, but does warn you that non-epoxy primers and varnishes will be attacked and will ...

'No, I do not have data on the relative weights. I doubt it would be substantially different if the coatings are applied correctly at a roughly 2 mil thickness given that the chemistries are similar.

Great comparison Russell. Did you compare ...

'Both Tom and Jack are correct, you can get corrosion under either powder or paint. I think a lot of the argument boils down to religion and isn't based on fact. Here's the limited set of data I've been able to gather. Just for the record I prefer paint on my aircraft restorations, and use powder ...
