Re: Oil pump priming

I've edited the link. Now I think about it, it wasn't them, but they're a good source of info anyway.

Yes I was using the crook of my smallest pinkie to hold it down.

Er... I hate to point this out at this late date Rob, but it appears you have reassembled G-BREY beautifully but have several boxes and piles of leftover parts at your feet in that photo. That must have lightened up the airplane considerably

What a pretty plane. I'm green with envy.

She's a beauty, Rob. I'd like to see more!

How about posting a photo of those leather seats?

Re: Oil pump priming

Thanks all for your kind words & thoughts.

Here's the upholstery (I had them made).



The yellow Starduster in the background is the "Banana"...guess why!

Nice interior! You could cut yourself and your passenger would never know it!!

Rob,

This morning, took out the temp bulb, lifted up the tail (I hope the picture I attached works) my buddy Bob put about a half pint of oil in and replaced the bulb. I lowered the tail, dragged her outside to tie her down. She started on the first flip and purred beautifully.

But not as beautiful as seeing about 25 lbs of oil pressure at idle.

THANKS! An hour of pattern work in my instructor's Cub and she should see daylight under the wheels next weekend.
