Hi Dave,
You mentioned you had scales for the mains.
Can I borrow them?

I'll drive down and pick them up.

Brian,
My bathroom scale says I have 103 pounds on the tail wheel.
Is that about right for a parked RV4 with nobody in it?

Paul Lamar

It is actually just one scale, you have to individually place it beneath
each wheel.  But yes, you may borrow it.  I should be at the hangar all
weekend putting the rebuilt engine back into my plane....  That is if I
cant get the super-glue use to hold the corner pieces to melt away with a
butane torch...  Otherwise I will take the engine apart again before
putting it all together.  Let me know when you are headed out.  Will dig
the scale out of the garage.

Dave


Thanks Dave. What did you replace in the engine?

----------------------------------------------
What time will you be in the hangar?
I'll get up really early and drive down tomorrow to avoid the traffic.

What Hangar number? What is the gate code?

If you replaced the rotor housings and still have them I will bring my
3" to 4" mic for an accurate width check.

Why do you need a propane torch to melt the super glued corner seals.
Is that to get it started initially? If so that is a new one on me
in 12 years :) Learn something new every day.
