Re: Rear axle shaft nut, how to turn on
Werner, I don't have the Cessna 172 any longer. I lost it in 1998 when a student and instructor that were leasing it out from me. While there were no injuries, the plane was wrecked. Only 400 hours on the engine. At first, I was going to replace it. but then The Kennedy boy was killed. Then the owner of the airport Steven Snyder was killed when his F86 flamed out at about 500 ft. You may know of Steve, He was fascinated with early Jets and was the person who was building the five reproduction ME 262s. He had many aviation Patents A great loss! One of the planes was going to Lufthansa. And one other death made me reconsider.
The 140 in the picture looks nice. Is that your's? I only flew a taildragger once, A Citabria. It was an high wing stunt plane with an 0-320 lycoming. My plane had an 0-320 H2ad. This plane did not have a yoke, it was a stick like the early planes. A real fun part of my life!
