Basic T-Craft Mechanics

[jonnywaller]

Does anyone have a suggestion on some good reading to learn the basics about the T-Craft mechanics and how to fly them? I'm just trying to learn the basics for now. Thanks in advance!

FAA Advisory Circular A 43.13-1B will give you a lot of info

on welding , fabric, wood, safety wiring etc.

ASA & Jepp-Sandersen also

publish textbooks for the General, Airframe & Powerplant areas.

I don't know if there ever was a factory Service Manual for

any of the Taylorcraft series.

Some of your questions may be answered better by other folks on this board.

The owners handbook. We have been talking about one for years. Several false starts and lots of information gathered, but no actual book yet. All of the information you may need is here in the tribe, but Taylorcraft never made one (at least for the early models) and we haven't finished ours yet either.

Hi Chuck,

I would like to look at the manual but that link does not work for me.

Could you email me the file at [email protected]?

Re: Basic T-Craft Mechanics

Chuck,
That makes a good foundation for a POH but is really just a good info manual. It is still missing a lot of things needed to be a true POH, especially in limitations and procedures.

Use drop box. Go to dropbox.com, download the free app, install and follow directions.

A POH developed by anyone other than the manufacture or holder of the type certificate would not be legal and would still require all the required placards. Why waste the time? Tim
