Re: CHT question

How the hell did we get from CHT and exhaust problems to bending wing struts?

Naw it's called Thread Creeps and I'm guilty here.

Happens all the time look at the threads on struts and taper axles they drift all over the place and have the highest number of views.

It's ok.

People like to chat.

You took us down the exhaust path by saying, "and a wish list for Luscombe exhaust.".

The jump to struts was a little bigger. Jstall saw that Terry had posted in this thread, and posted to ask him a question. I doubt he realized that it was an old thread that you resurrected, and didn't notice that Terry's post was from 2015.

No sir, I did not take us down the exhaust path by saying "and a wish list for Luscombe exhaust.". I took us down the exhaust path by posting the fix to the problem identified in the initial post of this thread.

Re: CHT question

I doubt Airframes bent an existing strut with heat to affect a change in end angle. Dick Smith would know but my guess is that they built a second P/N with increased offset. FAA regs and all that but could be wrong as usual.

-----------------------
I just talked with Airframes Alaska and inquired about how they build the two differing struts, regarding the angled upper ends.
I was told that the basic jig is the same, but that the differing angles built into the upper end are obtained by using a removeable portion of the jig. They bolt on the particular portion that will give them the desired angle. I was assured that heating and bending the lug was not the method used.
I have no financial interest in the company, but I believe AA is a first class outfit. This link will give you a glimpse into their facility, regarding layout and equipment.
