You might give Tule River Aero a call, they did a lot of Riley Skymaster upgrades and might have some of the old plastic panels laying around still. I found a co-pilots side panel for my plane from...

Todd,
if it were me, I would pass on the new starter and stick with the old style, seems the old one has caused less problems with the starter adapter. When you get the new engine, just swap the...

I am not sure the plane with the TSIO 520's is worth it, in my opinion. There are quite a few nice Riley Rocket P337's for sale now if the TSIO 360 engines will work for you. Quite a bit less...

Do not use baby powder, you need to find and use real talcum powder for aircraft tubes and tires.

Another thought, probably a good idea to not reuse the snap rings here. New ones are cheap, and better economy it seems in this case. The snap ring that failed looks pretty worn to me. This is...

Those snap rings can be put in 2 ways, and only one way is correct. One edge is slightly beveled, the other is sharp. The proper way to put them in is with the sharp side out, it grabs the groove...

Ernie,
No argument from me on either of your points. Don't make assumptions is a good point. In my case, I also don't fly at gross wt. too often, and so also hope for book numbers. But out of...
