One thing that works great on my Taylorcraft is to lift the tail (as high as youcan get it and still have prop clearance), pull a plug from each cylinder andpull the prop through. I can flip the prop hard enough to get the pressuregauge to move with the plugs out (but it ain't easy). I have trouble gettingpressure on start after long times sitting. If I leave the tail up so the engineis level while storing the plane I get pressure immediately (and I don't haveto repack the bearings in the wheels after the hangar floods)Hank (I put the mains up on ramps, I hate Hurricanes!)

What kind of latex did you use? Was it applied over the Butyrate silvercoat, the clear or the Nitrate? How does it hold up? I already bought thebase color in Butyrate but would like to hear options for the trim colorthat won't break the bank.Hank----- Original Message -----
