Your Most Coveted Parts (Warbird & GA)

Apparently this is the part you break if you flare too high and pancake it on the runway.

...Or if just prior to flaring you run out of oil to one of your props losing your pitch...

From what I hear if someone could manufacture or discovered a stash of good P-51 landing gear pivot shafts, they could name their price for them and have no problem selling them all...

Never a good time for that to happen - I suppose on flare would be about the worst.

Probably close to what Grinny was thinking around the time he was uttering, "OH SH1T!".

But back to the topic...Napier Sabre parts...and perhaps assembly manuals.

Anyone chasing P-39/P-400 prop reduction gear boxes. I can direct you to a private museum whom, I am told, has several in NOS condition. I have no idea if they will part with them or , if so, at what price.

Now P-38 hydraulic hand pumps, they are truly rare.

I see this thread pretty much stopped when I mentioned P-38 hydraulic hand pumps. That's pretty much the same response I get when I go out into the world looking for one. I suspect I may have to get Tony Wytenberg to do a limited production run ( like the P-40 hand pumps he did), anyone interested?

[Deuelly]

Is this the style or does the "G" model use a different pump? I don't think it's worth tooling up just yet If this is the style. These are still out there.

I could use about four good P-40 tail wheel actuators, that's what I'd like.

On the smaller side of warbirds, it seems the PT-19 / -23 / -26 or UC-61 Pitot tubes are the Chickens teeth of the Fairchild bunch!
