Re: [ercoupe-tech] Engine TBO

[Jerry Ward]

I  just read the article and it appears to me that they are on to something smart.  I would hope that the FAA would read this and change the way engines are overhauled.  I would hate to have to overhaul a perfectly good running engine that is strong and has good compression and seems to not burn too much oil.  It appears that the fresh engines are the ones to worry about.  Jerry in the Great Northwest. --- On Mon, 2/15/10, Roy Stubbs <rdstu...@bellsouth.net> wrote: From: Roy Stubbs <rdstu...@bellsouth.net> Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Engine TBO To: ercoupe-tech@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, February 15, 2010, 1:02 PM   Has anyone on the list read this month’s EAA Sport Aviation’s article “Is Engine TBO a Myth?”?   Wonder what your thoughts might be?   From: ercoupe-tech@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:ercoupe- t...@yahoogroups .com] On Behalf Of Roy Stubbs Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 8:55 AM To: 'Jack Burwell'; 'Ronald Hynes'; 'earl johnson' Cc: ercoupe-tech@ yahoogroups. com Subject: RE: Fw: RE: [ercoupe-tech] Floor board removal     Mine are also made up of two pieces and have the rudder pedal assembly which needs to be removed before the floor boards can be removed.  The only way it is accomplished is my 5’6” 125# son and pilot buddy.   From: ercoupe-tech@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:ercoupe- t...@yahoogroups .com] On Behalf Of Jack Burwell Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 3:08 PM To: 'Ronald Hynes'; 'earl johnson' Cc: ercoupe-tech@ yahoogroups. com Subject: RE: Fw: RE: [ercoupe-tech] Floor board removal     Mine are made up of 2 pieces but they are still an absolute nightmare to remove and reinstall. -----Original Message----- From: ercoupe-tech@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:ercoupe- t...@yahoogroups .com] On Behalf Of Ronald Hynes Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 12:54 AM To: earl johnson Cc: ercoupe-tech@ yahoogroups. com Subject: Re: Fw: RE: [ercoupe-tech] Floor board removal   I will always admire old Henry Ford and his way of thinking.  When he would have a difficult problem with manufacturing his autos, he was said to assign the problem to the lazyest of his employees because if they could not find a better way to fix the problem then there wasn't a better way. After 40 years of owning and driving Fords, I follow Henry's idea and I simply ask my sons. Never fails me.

Removing the floor board was a pain because of the brake pedal being attached to it. Is there a modification to make the floor removal easier? Thanks! Jack   Yahoo!
