Hi Troy,
Glad to hear that things are going well. My monowheel check list
includes the following:-
* Multi tip screwdriver
* Inexpensive metric and inch sockets and ratchet handle (e.g.
Harbor Freight supply)
* Spark plug wrench
* Metric Allen wrenches
* Small adjustable wrench
* Bag with common sizes of washers, bolts, screws, nuts, etc.
* Needle nose pliers.
* Tape & scissors.
* 1 quart oil
* Small bottle of NPG+ coolant
* Spark plugs
* Decalin fuel additive -

always use 100LL)
* Tow line for the tailwheel
* Tie downs
* Rotax voltage regulator (~200 hours life at best?)
* Jacking block
* Spare inner tube - Wicks Aircraft item # TB-MTAT8X6, this fits
8.00-6 & 7.00-6 tires. My tire is a 7.00-6, 6 ply.
* ??
I hope you can drag your plane into the air when you put it all on
board. Just kidding - never a problem.
Cheers, John

Hi Fellow Europaphiles,
Has anyone come up with a list of must have tools, (and parts for that
matter) to always have in the plane in case of trouble far from home? I
know you need tools to get the cowling off and stuff like that. What I'm
saying I guess is I don't need the entire set of hex socket wrenches, or
the entire set of combination wrenches, I just want to pick out the
specific sizes needed for a small kit that would be appropriate for
someone with a monowheel with a Rotax 912. I could probably come up with
a list but I'd appreciate any input for things that have gotten someone
out of a jam in the past.
I understand that some carry a spare tube for the monowheel tire. Where
is the best place to get one, ACS? What about a wooden jacking block to
fit a common floor jack to the LG frame? I don't won't to get carried
away with a bunch of stuff that will overload me but just fishing for
ideas really. Thanks in advance to all.
