J.R. Ranney has a solution (credit to Walter Windus who discovered or rediscovered the repair kit) for all of you with Franklin Fuel Pump
problems. He has written an excellent article on the "how to" of those
pesky pumps. Check it out on the "Tips and Tricks" page, the "Franklin Q&A" page and the December 2011 Newsletter from Bruce Hinds. Thanks JR!
==============================================  (Use this kit at your own risk!) Making parts for our "Vintage" Seabees? Check out the FAA references on the Seabee Maintenance Page here. Long-winded but good stuff. Thanks to Member Mike Shay. =============================================== Member Mike Shay says thanks for all the information and help with his Seabee. As usual all you guys come through in a pinch. Any day now!.... Member "extraordinaire" Bruce Hinds has sent the 1946 article on the Seabee Analysis from the "Aviation" magazine. You all may have seen it but this is a very good quality copy. See it here! ========================================== Seabee prints are available from James Fair.
See it here!
========================================== Does anyone have UC-1 (Twin Bee) drawings or specs other than the flight manuals? Please send them to us. Many members are asking for any specifics on the Twin Bee. I will post them o the website so all can use it, Thanks. ========================================== Check out the Seabee News page here for details. =======================================================

=============================================== Tip of the week: Control-Column-Holder-Backer... Use this PVC pipe to hold your control column back to make it easier to work on the elevator trim tabs or instrument panel items. It never ceases to amaze me the uses we find for PVC pipe. This small section of 1-1/2" pipe (about 18" long) is smoothed out on both ends with one end having a curved cutout to fit the control column. I use this at least every annual inspection and usually a few times in between! A hole is drilled in one end to allow hanging on the wall (like a broom handle). Cost? about 10 cents!  |
