I'm sitting in a taxi right now on my way to Italy (actually to the airport first) to look at my next plane to be with my flight engineer. Hope it will turn out as nice as expected. You guys have been of great help! We just discussed a thing, is all the Dimonas painted in poly color or does some have gel as well?

My aircraft welder Rowan must have forgotten to call in when driving past -he could look and give a round figure price. Another alternative I have always thought of is instead of 250-4 tire is change to the bigger tyre (will look up size) as used on some C185s - I saw this used on every Pawnee in Sweden but never seen it on a Pawnee in AUS. Possibly a simpler mod but it may effect shimmy- Yes it would be a bit heavier but not much and from memory most Dimonas would benefit from bit more tail weight Guess it would need EO also but I always know bigger bag tyres smooth up ride (going from 800-6 in pawnee to 850-6 is leap forward as was going from 500-5 to 380-150 in 2 wheel falke.

If so please let me know... I wouldn't require the tailwheel to be removed - we will draw up the shaft plans from our H36. Thanks in advance!

Then you can say that it has been spung.

I know what a Sprung wheel is but what is it when it is "Spung" :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Thompson<mailto:[email protected]> To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 10:33 AM Subject: [DOG mailing list] H36 spung tailwheel I'm keen on the idea of getting a sprung tailwheel on our H36 - the rigid one is not at all good on rough surfaces. I think the sprung wheels may also reduce the "bunny hopping" on rough runways....can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is the case or not? Last time I saw a sprung one I didn't think it would be particularly difficult or costly to manufacture - perhaps we could get some plans drafted from one of the dimonas with a sprung wheel and see about getting a few made up with appropriate approvals. How many of you would be interested? cheers Rob PO Box 129, Lawson, NSW, 2783. mobile ............................................. ________________________________ From: Ian Mc Phee <<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wed, 27 January, 2010 11:39:22 PM Subject: Re: [DOG mailing list] Dimona 1984 Interesting about tail wheel mod from Michael - sure gives smoother ride. You mention the heads/valves lasting only 300hrs. I would recommend to all analysis of exhaust at FULL POWER with lamdameter etc. You may find it is running slightly lean on full power (actually plugs look OK) but gas analysis does not lie. More recently i have been using digital CHT and you can really see what is happening. I set them up so full power CHT rises to about 170degC then very slowly falls. If you bring throttle back just a bit in revs CHT will quickly rise to 180degC and beyond. This proves to me you are running rich on full power- also confirmed on EGT. To achieve this it may be necessary to carefully thin out the end 6mm to 8mm of each the needle in carby and thus achieve the low CHT on full power. (do not think of touching jet) Fuel is cheap when compared to repairing heads. Limbach Tech bull 53 makes mention of max on climb of 180degC (forget what max the manual says - that is stupid value) Also Tech bull 44 (11page edition) is well worth a read.
