Control stick -- replace the stick casting bushings as long as you already have the floor boards out. If your only doing the front stick you don't have to remove it from the plane to replace the bushings. Just remove the AN6-25 bolt and AN310-6 nut, slide out the steel bushings and replace in reverse order. Save the large washers but replace the cotter key on assembly. Call Joe at Safe Air Repair in Albert Lea MN 507-373-7129 Part No. 1-2550 they can ship them same day. Do not torque the bolt tight but just enough for the cotter key to slide in the hole. The AN24-16 and AN320-4 at the very bottom of the stick casting is what AD 48-39-01 is all about. That is only finger tight so you don't squeeze the casting and crack it

Engine Oil Filter from El Reno, called a model TAF, bolts onto the crank case on the left side just to the rear of the cylinder. STC'd for C75 up to O-200. It's very neat and cost $199.50. You may have to build a new rear baffle but I had to make all new baffles anyway so it didn't matter. It uses a spin on filter which is supplied. I found El Reno very good to deal with Phone (405) 262-2387 (from Ian in Australia)

Engine Oil Pump – lost its prime - If its not been too long you can chock the main wheels and raise the tail up 5-6 ft for a minute, that will let some of the oil in the back of the pump housing move to the oil gears. If its been a while you may have to remove the oil screen filter and with a oil can pump oil into the oil passage to the gears. .You can also remove the oil pressure line and squirt oil into the line
(in the direction of the engine). -OR- The way that seemed to work real well for me......remove the oil filler cap, take air blow gun hooked to a compressor and stuff a rag in the top of the oil filler neck to make a seal around the blow gun. As you add air pressure spin the prop. Be sure the mags are off and
the throttle closed.. Be aware that oil can be forced out of the filler neck.

A friend who is in the business of manufacturing and selling die-cut numbers and letters cautioned me to get a bottle of Windex type glass cleaner, spray it on where you are going to put the product, then move the numbers/letters/logos around and site them to your satisfaction. The glass cleaner will evaporate and you will have a nice smooth, straight job. To take things of that ilk off, get a hair dryer. (from Robert)

Recovering with pop rivets –Bill Pancake STC for .025 ribs

Rigging Rig the elevator reference the horizontal stab chord line. 27 deg.up - 21.5 deg down per page 4, T.O. 1L16A-2. 24 down will get you into the unstable zone. 24 up will lose the flare at forward C.G.( Carl)

-When you rig the ailerons, be aware that there is a difference in the different manuals as to the correct tension on the aileron cables. The 7AC manual calls for 45-55 lbs. The 7EC manual calls for 22-28 lbs. The L16 manual calls for 25 to 30 lbs. These all have the same airframe and systems. IMHO, the 45-55 lbs is way to high and makes the ailerons really stiff. Keep it below 30 lbs (Jerry) .(Carl agrees)

STC The ribs on early Champs were .020, and the fabric was attached with screws. There is an STC for pop rivets, #SA4760NM, issued to Cashmere Aviation, Inc., 925 Lower Sunnyslope, Wenatchee, WA 98801; owner William Markey, (509) 663-6851). It calls for 3/32" rivets and washer. (per Cy and Frank)

just talked to Bill Pancake. He said that he has been using pop-rivets on ALL Aeroncas for 25 years using field approval. Thick or thin, wide or narrow, the FAA field approves them all for him (per Cy)

The wires are made from 316 SS, 95,000 min tensile, rolled left and right hand threads. The wire come with the jam nuts only. I do not have a good source yet for the terminal ends. Prices are out of sight for my cost.($(16-22.00 ea.)You can reuse your own if they are still serviceable.

Wings Greg Dart - a pair ready for cover with ailerons $3000 Nov 01 716 752 2160

Wings built by Pete Plumb Wood Wing Specialties 1(661)391-9464 archbury@starband.net

Wing trammeling On the drag/antidrag wires About 50"lb is what you need on the tension. I've found that by setting the wing on two short sawhorses at the inner and outer compression struts, you can rattle the wing
about a bit to equalize the tension between progressive tightening. Usually takes me about four passes before everything settles in. I just use a framing square as string lines prove to be unreliable. Be sure to put a
spacer in the wing attach fittings equal to the spacing on the fuselage attach points or the wing will not fit the fuselage. I welded one up out of square tubing with a barb on the opposite side to facilitate handling of the
wing when covering. (from Carl)

.I spent a few minutes with Bill Pancake last night getting some additional information that I will share with the group. Bill mentioned that he trammels the wing bottom side up because it is easier and that was the way they did it at the factory. He said to level it with shims, oil the wire threads, and bring them up to 16"lbs. Start to trammel at the wing strut attach bay. Get that trammeled then go to the outboard bay and trammel that one, then go to the bay inboard of the bay with the wing strut attach fittings and trammel that one. Lastly trammel the most inboard bay. He also mentioned, and I was unaware, that the wires must overlap alternatively in each bay. By that I mean that in one bay going left to right the most inboard wire goes on top of the other one. The next bay is just the opposite and so on. I was confused because I thought all the bays had to be the same. Each bay has to be trammeled independently. I have a shipping jig the factory uses when someone orders new wings. They create a rectangular jig that holds both wings bottom to bottom for
shipping. If you know of anyone ordering new wings from American Champion, don't let them get rid of the shipping jig. I use that to mount in the wing attach fittings while tightening/trammeling the wing. Last night, I got the wing bays to within 1/16th of an inch before I looked up at the clock and saw it was Midnight and packed it in. . I can't say enough thanks to Bill for his help.
