    M220 AirPak rebuild.

    G749 air hy cyl Good to hear Dr. Oldfart. We've got a US member on the bottom of a re-build that can use some extra help. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/early-deuce/87716-m135-brake-problem-please-help.html Instead of firing up a new thread the Jolly build might help. I don't see a G749 Air pac...

    XM211 needs fuel pump

    G749 Fuel Pump Solutions The rumor is G749 Carter pumps are hard to find. I opened the MVPA "Supply Line" Magazine and Sam Winer Motors inc. 330-628-4881 has a large list of G749 parts. No 'fuel pumps' listed but it's worth a call. You can try brian.asbury@sympatico.ca and ask. Brian...

    Camping Safety in Trees

    Camping Safety "High Wind" 'Google News' stories are happening more often as we are all .....'listening to the winds of change' and something about Golky Park. It's very sad when such a pleasurable experience turns tragic, very sad. One extreme to another. We keep a vehicle available to...

    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    Museum Confirmed Really glad I didn't chop these up and build a go-cart. Sent the photo's to a great guy at our Museum and he confirmed Canada's only production AVRO jet fighter. Rare find. Now I just need a name for the pontoon boat that's as creative as the plane. How about..........HIF...

    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    Wing tanks Part of the sale agreement when it moves to Jackfish Lake is full access and a boat to get to it. Darwin, Waayfast, anytime you need to sit on a red neck deck and go fishin' when the lake's not frozen, I can make it happen.:beer:

    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    Canadian Aircraft Click. Did a google on Canadian Fighter Jet Aircraft and found this. Royal Canadian Air Force, Aircraft, Historical Aircraft, Avro CF-100 Canuck The wing on the side is correct so this could be it. http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/v2/equip/resrc/images/hst/l-g/canuck3.jpg...

    Camping Safety in Trees

    Took the M1010 out to the pond today and found this tree laying on a shed. No one was around when the tree went down but the shed was used as an off-grid shower last year...and that would have been one heck of a surprise with soap in your eyes. As you can see in the pictures the tree snapped off...

    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    Fuel Drop Tank? The C123 tank is so close, thanks Tow! I thought they were too big for wing tip tanks until I found some that make mine look small. Can't believe I said that. If you check the first pic on the 24' trailer one can see the 12" square patch of aluminum we migged' over the cap we...

    To buy or not to buy? M211

    Dry M211 There's another reason to buy an M211. It can snow like crazy and all the other trucks get covered with white stuff, but not the 211.

    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    Wing tip tank uses Thank you so much for checking it out gentlemen. They are big tanks so cargo C makes sense. The Lockheed Constellation tanks are said to be 700 gallons. The engineering to hang 6500+ pounds on a wing tip still blows me away. Here's the respective planes mentioned and...

    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    These fuel tanks were rotting in a farmers field so we sealed the holes and built a recycled pontoon boat. I thought that ID'ing the aircraft they belong to would be easy. The fuel cap sits parallel to the mount so I'm almost certain they are both right side, wing tip tanks. It could be...

    Catastrophic parking brake failure

    Brake failure Thanks for posting this Dave. You know you're going to take a beating for not catching this with a pre-trip inspection and I appreciate the education without injury. We all learn from these incidents and fortunately are ultimately responsible for preventing them. I will re-inspect...

    Compressor gaskets for downloading/printing

    NOS gaskets G749 compressor Let us know what kind of condition the gaskets are in when you get them, and thank you. Some NOS I've seen has been dry or shrunk so a good source is a terrific find. If you're offering up free stuff Dr. Log, I have not seen enough photo's of your 211 on your...

    To buy or not to buy? M211

    G749 Those pics are great Jordan, It's preserved! Looks complete with a sweet hood, lights, a decent steering wheel and from what I can tell, a decent box. Exciting, tough decision and waayfast has it right, you'll also NEED an M35, someday. One of the really honorable things that can happen...
