Well the week-end is not shaping up very well and I don't mean the weather.The planned 70th Anniv. First flight on the week-end may not go asscheduled. I ran into a problem when changing the Temp. sender in the Al.oil pan. The brass reducer broke off. Couldn't get at it to fix, so with thehelp of a good friend, the engine was removed. As it turns out the new temp.sender is of a larger size...so... I think I'll turn it down and re-threadto 1/4 NPT. I also think I'll relace the rubber gasket to cork type. Icouldn't order another in time and there's nothing wrong with cork. If I getall this done tonight and put it back together and the weather co-operates,and and and... I'll get to fly it.Sometime Soon,Domenic________________________________________________________________________________
