We have a Pitts S1S at my airfield that used to have battery starter, no alternator (or generator) for weight reduction.
It makes sense...you have the advantage of battery start, without the complexity & weight of alternators, voltage regulators etc.
Just one impulse mag, any...Leave a comment:

Never heard of it. The only one I know of is the Clayton STC skylight for B models.

It's quite easy to tell the difference between the Taylorcraft wire and the Martin wire:

Rob,
I tried to contact Bill about the T wires but haven't heard back from him yet. Figured I could put them into my parts locker for someone who needs them in the future unless I need any for the 45. Sent him the photo with dimensions to tell if they were Martin or T wires. Haven't heard back... -
It looks like the right fabric clips, but many look damaged (maybe shadows from the photo?).
I would suggest it's still worth someone contributing $20 to his Chapter fund.
In fact I'll pay that, beaverbill, just for you to hold it until someone else comes along, then they can...Leave a comment:

Hello LycomingO360, and welcome! Most of us here use first names.
There used to be an F22 (tailwheel) at my airfield in the UK. I got a few hours in it, and to be brief, it was not very good. (The F22A was designed as a contender for the C152...Cessna had a lot more money for marketing...Leave a comment:

When we used to have the Taylorcraft gathering at the Oshkosh forum tents (now buildings) every year, I saw these kids grow from one year to the next. Now Nick is doing these wonderful calendars. Both brothers are flying. It's great to see that the Baker future is continuing the family tradition!...Leave a comment:

I'm glad that Kerbs is approaching this issue methodically (and safely): that's the way to do it!

My (inexpert) instinct, having read and re-read all the very constructive posts here, is that it's not carb ice at all. No-one else (including me, in my C-85 machine in a very humid UK home) has the same problem.
It's a mixture issue...possibly the carb itself.
Kerbs, can...Leave a comment:

Kerbs, may I suggest you check your intake rubbers for leaks (I'm sure this has been mentioned before)Leave a comment:

I'm following with interest, because it's all a bit strange!
We all know that the A- C-and O-series Continental engines are icemakers, but Kerb's situation seems excessive.
I have no suggestions (the ones posted so far seem very sensible) but there must be some other influence that...Leave a comment:

The weather this late summer/ early fall has been awful, not just in the USA (and I experienced it) but also in the UK (the fallout from the USA wx from theGulf of Mexico storms which end up crossing the Atlantic).
Hey-ho, let's hope for better next year!Leave a comment:

What Peterroy didn't add is that I turned up in Mesquite, three days later (after a small delay in Moab, Utah) and his same hospitality was made welcome to me.
We are a small fraternity/ sorority, and we welcome eachother.

If you can get there...Mike & I would have got home in dark o'clock, so we turned around only 30 minutes out from OLY, or so!
Next time, eh?...Leave a comment:

Scott, the URL in your post doesn't seem to work for me.
But, your attached file does. But could you add the definitive Canadian TSB link please?
