Re: Fuel Valves

Post by steven whelan »

'NC8155 is a '46 24W. It was restored by a guy named Bob Drake & his father. It was an excellent job, but it was obvious they got tired of looking at it at the end of the project. I've detail up a lot of small things & brought it over to Germany, where I live. I was amazed it took 13 days for myself & another guy, both of us are experienced A&P + two part-time volunteers to assemble it after de-crating. Lots of fiddley work to get things right. unfortunately, I've only been able to fly it once since October, due to weather & it stills sits in Antwerp waiting to come to Germany.

'The interior handles really don't look like they belong. The ones that should be with the later models is basically squared off, from the pivot to the tip is tappered, flat on the top and sides, with a small bevel on the edges. I'd send a photo, but my computer is having interconnection issues.
