I like your way too! I have a full height drill press, should have tried it that way. Not real critical what distance you wire up the struts, as long as they're shorter than full length. Thanks for sharing your idea!

Glad to hear it worked!

Most owners do not balance these small tires. Once they are statically balanced, they're good enough. Maybe there's a way to do a dynamic balance, but I am not aware of one.

Wow, I have never received ANY points here on CZcams. Thanks so much! Is it the green one with the white picket fence? I think I know the one!

@@MartyMitchell92660 Green house with a white picket fence? Somebody is a Little House on the Prairie fan Actually, that is correct except the picket fence is actually chain link. If you swing by you'll have to let yourself in the gate. My ankle bracelet doesn't receive at that distance But serously, glad after ~7 yrs & Covid "we" are still around to have this virtual conversation. And even "the morning after" I'm still enamored with your Balance-Offset-Ratio-Gravit process aka the "BORG" and can't wait to upsize it to a adult tire (no disrespect). Thank you for the kind words. Live long and prosper Capt Mitchell 🖖

@@ovalwingnut Be sure to share your "adult size" tire balancer with us. I have a cordless grinder if you need help getting that bracelet off.

Lately it's been around $100 round trip from Newport. Back in the day, half that.

@@MartyMitchell92660but still those memories are worth it what a nice experience nice video too keep making more 👍👍👍

Not yet, but it's never too late :)

@@MartyMitchell92660 Keep 'em flyin', Skipper!

Yes on rotating hub (wheel), no on inside weights. The brake disc takes up that space. Less weight added is much better. This tire/wheel combo was really far out of balance. It would be worth the short amount of time to experiment with different clocking.

Haha. I'm good for almost two years but thanks for the offer.

So far, no sign of subterranean termites. Yes.

@@MartyMitchell92660 Well now… there you go. I really like your video and found it exactly what CZcams is all about. Thank you for taking the time to record it and post it.

@@99kevin99 No worries! When do I get my 3-minutes of free Flight Instruction?

@@MartyMitchell92660 Ha!!! Just watch any of videos! Taa Taaa for now!

Sounds like a cracked cylinder head to me. I bought an aftermarket one for $1700 and paid a shop about $2300 in labor to install it. Might not be worth it on your rusty car. Likely cheaper ways to get 'er fixed but might take some work on your part. A good diagnosis might be in order first though.

@MartyMitchell92660 im gonna compression test it and run the scanner on it. If its toast, im gonna just completely part it out. Cams from the m52 are still really pretty, has a cooling overhaul from ecs tuning, the whole 9 yards with that belts. Therm, housing pulley, water pump. I flipped the car and the a pillars buckled. So i decided i was gonna just have fun in it and i should have done a gasket job. She just hit 170k. Got some frenched depo headlights on it if interested! Lol yellow high beam and yellow low beams the rare ones.

@@kceegray7046 Sounds like a good idea. I'm good on parts but I'm sure others will want them.

@@MartyMitchell92660 The suckiest part about the whole situation is.I just bought a whole front and suspension kit from f c p euro. I kind of want to keep all the stuff and just buy another one.But the market for them is outrageous right now.I don't know what part of America you live in.But it's getting ridiculous for just base models

No worries.

Jun 4, 2017 - Anytime the weather forecast is for smooth sea conditions, it's a good time to go. Check the internet for San Pedro Wave Prediction. Good luck and enjoy!

I put a saddle on Blitzen. He was pretty tired but it all worked out.

LOL. Great answer, and good thinking Santa. BTW your videos w/the SeaRay have given me confidence to take my bowrider out on the bays here in SD (it mostly lives its life up there at Lake Arrowhead).

@@chrisinsd4590 A little salt water should hurt the boat much if you rinse the engine well (15-20 minutes). The trailer will take a beating though. Enjoy!

Good luck with the install. It was pretty straight forward. Should be easy for you since you've already replaced just about everything. As I recall, it was important to torque everything down once weight was put back on it. Enjoy!

@@MartyMitchell92660 Absolutely agree. I'm only of those people who use blue loctite just in case but that's because back in the day I had a brake caliper bracket bolt fall out and when i would come to a stop, the whole brake caliper and bracket would slide upwards and it grinded some good grooves on the inside of my wheels so it was a lesson learned on my part haha

@@JacobWinkle Wow, that sucks! Blue Loctite is the answer then. Good to know.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Excellent! Glad to hear you were able to make one and it worked as published. Did you re-install the OEM bushings or aftermarket?

Since I didn't have to replace any of the pins, not sure, but try this one: p/n 12527502933

Thank You for answer ;)

Thanks for your comment and glad to hear you got 'er balanced. Smooth landings.

Thanks for watching Bud.

I'm based at John Wayne KSNA. Sounds like a good plan. You'll be able to get a Catalina checkout from your instructor, something many flight school require prior to sending you there solo. Be advised the landing fee keeps going up, so be prepared with a wad of cash. Good luck and enjoy your flight.

@@MartyMitchell92660 Ah John Wayne, out there near Newport. I will be flying out of Brackett KPOC. How long was the flight for you to Catalina?

@@MarioLoco03 About 15 minutes.

@@MartyMitchell92660 excellent. Thanks for the info.

Hey! I’m thinking about also flying my instructor to Catalina for my dual cross country next week. Departing from Riverside. Piper Archer. Any suggestions?

Thanks for watching! Dzień dobry

❤@@MartyMitchell92660

Dzień dobry 😀 @@MartyMitchell92660

Pretty funny. I guess I did say that. It's hot for the island, not for N. Texas.

Ha ha. I guess you forgot to watch this video called "BMW OBD II Pin Removal".

Hi Bob. Good choice on wanting to find a nice Bonanza. The seats are stock but have been re-covered with new leather. Cost now-a-days might be around 6-9K if you're lucky. I can share the shop with you privately, but not here. I fly both IFR and VFR, proficient in both here in the LA Basin. She's a great platform for IFR. Almost keeps up with jets during approaches. I would buy a 1970 or later if it were me. I would also try to find one with the large baggage door. IO-520 or IO-550 both work fine, I like the IO-550 better. Really turns it into a sporty plane. Not sure what you have been flying, but the Bonanza is a fast bird that required you stay ahead of it. Get lots of practice and some training if you're new to high performance. Join all the Bonanza forums on Facebook. Lots of planes are offered for sale there. Good luck!

@@MartyMitchell92660 Thanks, Marty, especially for the Facebook tip. I'm not much of a social media guy. I've flown mainly Mooney M20J & K in high performance; they both require the pilot to stay way ahead of the airplane and have a few quirks, as I've learned that Bonanza's also do, but Mooneys don't have prop clearance for grass or even mildly rough runways, so the Bonanza is my next ride. I'll contact you for the interior shop info if I find an airplane that needs help in that area.
