    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Hey, that's the same screws that I use for my cowls. But I haven't gone so far as to color them. I have found for me that if I don't use the washer, for whatever reason the screws always seem to work themselves loose. I started using miniature bonded washers like what I have on the 260 and the...

    By the way, what bolts/screws did you use? Do they have a bonded washer behind the head to protect the paint?

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

Then we will go to the original Yak and open up the tattered covering to get some photos for Tony so that I can get the...

    No photos, but quite a bit of progress on the Edge. Checked, double checked and triple checked the thrust angles on the Edge. They are definitely spot on and I even added an extra washer/wafer to bring the 111 out another 1/16" for clearance for the spinner back plate. All that is left is to put...

    Oh hey, wait a darn tootin' minute. I just remembered, I have a test subject cowl I can practice with. Remember that "Brand New" cowl that arrived one day before the 212 came back from AI?

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    Have not heard from the "G" man yet. USPS delivered it today. As I am told, Gerhard says AI is a complete zoo on Mondays. So he probably won't even look at it until tomorrow.

Of all that I've tried thus far, I think I like the MTW the best on DLE engines. I didnt like the Proflows or Smooth Pipes on my 170. Went back to the KS. Here's one for you. The...
