Member Mike Zeller needs the locking pin and bronze bushing for a locking tail wheel.  If you have one to sell, contact Mike at zeco67@hotmail.com or (812) 305-2568
=======================================Member Bruce Hinds made a tool for "squeezing" the Tail Wheel tire for easy mounting. See it here http://republicseabee.com/Tips-tricks.html#twtool ========================================== Look what Australian member Ian Goldie is doing! A twin pusher Seabee!  Ian says, "Hi Steve, just a brief update on my project. We have increased fin / rudder height and increased rudder chord approx 50%. Now working on creating the new centre section with much modification. Hull is back on it's gear. I will try to attach photos. (See photos here) One thing you may be able to provide info on, is how is
drooping ailerons achieved on some SeaBees. The engines will be mounted
on the new centre section similar to twin Bee, but retaining the pusher
configuration. The engines will be Hyundai R2.2L Diesel 190HP. Props
most likely out of New Zealand called Air master PSRU's. I will build up
using V belts (at least 4) and pulleys. Cheers Ian Goldie."
If you can help Ian, contact him at irgoldie112@gmail.comReplace your forward Rudder pulleys. If you have tail wheel steering (or even if you don't) and you notice fraying of the cables under the 2" pulleys up front, this procedure will cure it. No 337 required! See it here. ======================================== Send us your Float Strut Mirror Selfies! You can see them here ======================================== Our newest member!  Robert McCarthy just purchased 14K and is looking for paperwork on the Daubenspeck STC SA282NW engine conversion. If you can help, contact Robert at pilot68@yahoo.com. Welcome aboard Robert! =========================================  Exhaust Covers: Article by member Bruce Hinds. Preventing contaminants (water) into the engine case. Cost? Practically nothing!
