Tube oil wiping rags
We use a linseed oil, parafin and thinner for signs and outdoor tables. We have had spontanious fires from wiping rags discarded into trash barrels. I recommend that wiping rags not be put in dry containers but burned in a safe place after use. Taking a lid off a dry container of soiled rags may explode!Just a safety tip. Rich. Anderson

Re: Tube oil wiping rags
I may add as a WII engineer & tail gunner on B24 over europe I was aviation minded early on. Have time flying in travel airs and Ford trimoters before taking flying lessons in 1951 and 52 and buying a J5 cub and then my long ownership in the BC12D since 1952. Sorry Norman but not quite 100 years old at 81. Richard Anderson

Re: Tube oil wiping rags

Would you happen to know if there are any places to fly and camp in around the Hailey, ID. area?
How often do you fly? If you do not mind my asking. It gives me inspriation.

Re: Tube oil wiping rags
Hailey Idaho area has numerous back country fields open to the public. Camping, fishing, and fall elk & deer hunting. Summer time early morning use is recommended. Idaho State division of Aeronautics prints a chart of the State showing airfields. Write for one : State of Idaho, Dept. of aeronautics, Boise, Idaho.
I just returned the bird to service after a complete tear down and sandblasting the fuselage and on from there. Therefor have not put much time flying the past few years. Now returned to service and will be flying when the snowbound ship can get in and out of tiedown area.Had a long wait for paper work for new emergency beacon and data plate that has never been with the airplane. Have flown from northern Alberta to middle Mexico. All my flying has been in the west. Rich. AndersoonComment
