Beeza, Now I checked my wheels yesterday and they have plastic caps on the valves. What happens if I "upgraded" these to MS 20813-3B? I guess Aviaquip will have the same part as Aircraft Spruce, but with a release note - at Five times the price.
But hey, I'm building in Experimental category anyway, buttoning up the left wing today in preparation for the start of the fuselage. There are one or Two things I've "upgraded" here and there. I know its not a Boeing, but I don't do hose clamps and rubber for primary fuel lines.
I guess it all comes down to the observation that any fool can ask a question that a wise man cannot answer and a close inspection of any and every aircraft will always produce a non conformance.
Has anyone ever seen the mythical safety net for baggage in a hired aircraft? My best Bunnings ratchet straps obviously don't conform.
How about producing your torque wrench calibration certificate?
....and the certificate of the test equipment that calibrated it?
.....and the certificate of the test equipment that calibrated that test equiment?
...and, Aaaaargh!
