 This isn't the Grumman Gang.   If they want to chat, it's up to  

 them.   This

 is an OPEN forum.



 Get used to it.




	


Dont you think you are being a little rough just in  a different way  

than the gumman-gang nazi?



  I know I dont have much say as to the content of this forum but   

personally I was hoping for a forum where you are not censored nor  

banned but that people police themselves and keep on topic. That is  

what he was doing gently prodding these guys to not send fluff to all  

the people that are here for grumman info.  The Grumman gang  

certainly goes to far in the other direction. But we dont want this  

forum to have 10 percent grumman info 90% fluff do we?  If it becomes  

more of an "OPEN" forum then it becomes as useful as the other 1000  

spams we get everyday.

So where as  I dont think there should be enforcement through ban or  

censor, we should all try to stay on topic and when it starts to get  

far afoot we can gently prod others to take offline or if we are the  

offenders then to notice this ourselves and take it offline.  This  

will make the forum a fun place that is useful for the topic of  

aviation and specifically grummans.



Now my on topic stuff 

I am here to learn about grumman related stuff because i am a new  

owner of a 1976(aa55-0166) Tiger.  It is still in annual and avionics  

upgrade mode. I havent picked it up yet and still have a week more to  

wait because the new prop hasnt made it in yet. A little story is  

that the guy selling it thought that the number 1 logbook  was  

missing. He bought it at a discount because of this as did I from  

him. When I went down after the sale to go through some things with  

maint shop. I poured through the binder that had all the info on the  

plane and found the missing logbook. Now that is a good feeling:)  My  

question is have any of you guys replaced the canopy seals?  Is this  

something an owner can do and if so what are your experiences?

Mark, although I don't own a Tiger I believe the process of changing the 

canopy seals is pretty much the same for the two place vs. four place 

Grummans. It's not that difficult and yes you can do it yourself. The most 

important part I found when I did mine was getting the surface of the 

winshield bow well preped for the new seal (MEK and elbow grease with 

extreme care not to get the MEK on the windshield). Fletchair has the seals 

for the four place. As for mine they only had some of them so I used a four 

place seal for the canopy to winshield bow. I used contact cement to adhear 

the new seal.



As for this list. I think you'll see more activity here based on how many 

posts are bounced on the GG. When folks are fed up with getting their posts 

bounced (like me) they post here more. (just MHO) What you won't find here 

is any of the flap about flaps up vs. down on T/O, and you won't have to 

fear being turned into the FFA about something you posted to the list.



Do a lot, get a little;

Do a little, get a lot;

Do nothing, get it all.

tell about it.

Also, I've found that DAP Weldwood contact cement works the best.   Follow 

the directions on the can.   Don't skip the stirring step.   Stir with a paint 

stir stick to get the sediment off the bottom.   



For the back of the canopy, I use a 3 inch wide piece of felt.
