REFLECTOR: Reflector Digest, Vol 96, Issue 34

Tue Mar 12 16:10:05 CDT 2013

Flying bahamas is a must, 140 miles of green blue clear water,
beautiful unrestricted views and you are always low puffy clouds you
can fly above.
We have the best floating device available, our plane, with luck if
something happens you can stay in it with only your feet wet.
I carry life vests only, enough foam when you land to hold on to.

The special wrenches are needed for setting the torque if you don't have a torque gauge built in your arm like I do.  The Lycoming/Continental wrenches have a similar shape and should work as well.  You need two sizes, 5/8 and 9/16.  Buy a set of pal nuts from A/S in case some of the ones you remove don't tighten well.  I have lots of other tips if you're interested.

First on the agenda is a detailed engine condition inspection, reconditioning, cleaning.  I anticipate I am going to have to pull the cylinders off to do this and recall reading this magical tool that makes the job remarkably easier.
