			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi All I have been reading all the past post concerning replacing an old header tank float. I found info on type of wire, wire sizes, guidelines for measuring length, etc<br />
The only thing I haven't found is reference to<br />
        How to remove the old cork one from the wire so you can install new float and reuse the same cap<br />
<br />
        Also how is the new float secured to the wire?<br />
<br />
BTW i found this float on Univair<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[After a few years in the making I was finally able to go and retrieve my model 19 and re-introduce it to sunlight for the first time in a long time. The last date I can estimate that it flew was the early 1980's. It is now in my shop down south and I have already begun tearing it apart to do a bare metal, ground up restoration (oh the benefits of being an A&amp;P!). &#8203; The plan is to leave it as original/ unmodified as possible. The TTAF is 1,067 hrs, of which only about 5 were added since the early 70's which was the <i>last</i> time it was restored and re-covered.<br />
<br />
As with so many of these old birds, this one has its own complex and sometimes confusing history but that story is too long to dive into right now. There is rumor that the plane did spend some time here in FL many moons ago so in a way I guess she's back home now? Either way, it's with me now and hopefully it will be back airborne in just a couple years time.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I recently won an eBay auction for a bunch of letters from ~89-99. I'm going to head to the library and try to digitize them all and share with the group. What do other folks have? I'd love to try and get as complete a set as possible. I've already found information in these I've never seen before, like washer information for b/w the horizontal and vertical stabs and the tail wire braces. <a href="https://vb.taylorcraft.org/member/93-hank-jarrett" style="background-image:url('https://vb.taylorcraft.org/core/image.php?userid=93&amp;profile=1&amp;dateline=1706759136');" class="b-bbcode-user b-bbcode-user--has-avatar js-bbcode-user" data-userid="93" data-vbnamecard="93">Hank Jarrett</a> Do you have anything you can share?<br />
<br />
Something fun for the group from an issue.  <a href="filedata/fetch?id=197889&amp;d=1788930747&amp;type=thumb" title="Name:  signal-2026-09-07-07-19-32-975_003.jpg

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I am beginning on the restoration of my model 19. To date I have not seen any service or parts catalog manuals strictly for a 19, only F-19's and BC12-D's. Anyone with experience on these have an input on which one to lean towards? With the exception of the engine, the 19 appears much closer to an F-19 in most ways, however there was a 20 year production gap between the 19 and F-19 so it's nearly impossible to know what sort of minutiae changed in the assembly process between the two. <br />
Thankfully I do have the original 19 owners manual and the serial numbered operating limitations sheet that is required.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello All!<br />
First of All nice to meet you all, My name is Archie, I've been lurking and researching the forum lately as I am the proud new (to me) owner of a beautiful F22A G-BWBI (The previous owner was active on here as well which was very useful) I am looking for some advise if anybody could help. My girl was transported here in a rush and once the wings where removed the bolts where chucked in the back. I think I'm okay but by chance would anybody know what AN bolt goes where in regards to mounting the wing to the fuselage and the struts? Bonus points if you know if there is a specific torque strength for each of them. <br />
<br />
I'm hoping to share my journey with you all in getting her back up to flying. <br />
In the mean time here she is hangered (wings temporally in place with screwdrivers) <br />
