Re: pulleys
I had a pleasant exchange with Donna Losey at Classic Aero about the pulleys. She says we can use the 3" Luscombe ball bearing pulley if we are willing to bush it down from 1/4" to 3/16". I'll get a couple and try it. If it works ok (or if it doesn't) I'll post the information here.
The $250 committment for a set of ball bearing pulleys specifically made for the Taylorcraft is a bit too much for me. (It's a great deal though, that works out to about $15 for each pulley!) I suggested to Donna that there would certainly be a good market for individual pulleys even if they get few takers for the complete set.
She expects they will have Taylorcraft pulleys available in May.
Classic Aero could become a very good source for the parts we all need. We should all encourage them to stock Taylorcraft parts just as they have so successfully done for the Luscombes.
