Is This Wierd or What

Post by mike roe »

I was looking at the Cessna 140 club web site and they have their own gahorn answering questions also. I cant believe they allow two of them in this country but both in Texas! :roll:

The 120/140 site is directly related to the 170 site. For all those who have had a 120/140, you'd understand.
There is no evilness here!
George is very knowleldgeable with these aircraft and his advise should be taken very seriously.
But, being just a previous owner of a 120 for 35 years, it's only my humble opinion...

The more-pertinent question, Mike, is what are YOU doing over there!!??? :lol:

(The 120/140 technical folks (usually Mike or David) and I trade technical-info with each other from time to time to assist our own members, and that occasionally leads us to discussions in-progress at each-other's sites. On several occasions they've been very helpful to me, especially in regard to some of our ragwing members, and hopefully we occasionally repay the favor. They're a happy, delightful group.)

Adding internal bracing and dual V-struts and fabric to the wings ...I can visualize...but...

What were you planning to do with the flaps? :lol:

Mike why did you replace that skin? Could it have been due to corrosion under the fuselage flap fairing? Or did someone put a big ugly rotating beacon hole in middle? Curious mind would like to know.

No corrosion. It had a couple antenna patches and some double drilled window retainer holes. It also gives a good chance to look at the carry thru spars and get some good pictures of them opened up. Everything looked great. I just thought when I put that skin on for a fit check it looked so strange without the windows I snapped some pictures.
