Where can I get this large wrench used to torque the nose wheel nut?

Big channel locks with duct tape on the teeth.

For those of you not to this point yet... do yourselves a favor and drill a 2nd hole through the front axle.... if you don't you will almost always end up with too little torque or too much.  Because of the nut and use of cotter pin, we are limited to 60 degrees, 1/6th turn to get it right.  Drilling a 2nd hole, you can at least get closer to optimum (30 degrees, 1/12th of a turn.

Does the duct tape go on your teeth because you're tightening so much?

 yeah and for the wheel axles with extensions I went to the farm  

store and bought a "bigass" combination wrench and cut it in half for  

easier maneuvering.  Gotta love them tools.



BTW: harbor freight has a flyer out with the infared laser thermometer  

on sale for under $30.  When you need one they're awesome.

Lol...if you have a wife I hope her sense of humor is as good as your response....I've known a few women in my time that liked duct tape...but never on their mouths...wouldn't hold up very long!!!

Jeff, you mean that wrench I gave you fits the main gear nuts and the front axle nut????  Shucks, if I'd known that I would have charged you twice as much!  Wait, 2 times 0.... is still 0....  I can't win.

Great idea Don! It may be easier to drill the hole in the nut  however.

It's easy to remember:



Don McDonald had a wrench, E-I-E-I-O



I agree completely with drilling the nut or extra hole concept. We

drilled the nut after finding one was too tight and one was too loose. 



 



The other day I was heading out for my regular commute when  I saw a

friend in his sweet F33 Bonanza in the run up area. We waved and he was

off for his left downwind. I completed my run-up as another two

departures and an arrival proceeded my left downwind. I ended up passing

the F33 at on my way through 8,000' to 9,500'. I was climbing faster and

at a greater rate of climb.  While we were not that close to each other

he did comment that he could see my "shit eating grin." All I could say

is that its an "official RV Shit eating grin" thank you very much and

shit never tasted so good! 



The more I fly the -10 the more I like it. I am not sure if it's the

avionics suite, the comfort or it's utilitarian nature but it is one

terrific airplane.



Keep building and fly safe,



 



Robin
